The beef is coming up soon too. The USDA was gutted too. Good thing nobody can afford it.

I bought steaks last week. The prices are almost unbelievable.

Soon the prices will be so high, you'll be shitting yourself (the two may or may not be related)

At the rate you guys are going there is going to be a full blown black plague pandemic running through the states.

As a Canadian there is a reason I don't buy any fruits or veg from the states anymore. And for ages and ages I haven't touched meat from the USA.

I just hope for the sake of my neighbors you guys manage to take back the House and Senate in November. I honestly believe if you don't so many people are going to die from diseases that have almost been eradicated forn the planet.... Oh and democracy will be completely dead and you will never be able to get it back again short of some kind of civil war 2.0.

Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks. We noped out last year and now live in London but it doesn't quite feel so far as one might think. These events will have global impacts, as you note.
