Get the prime brisket at Sam’s or Costco. Cook the whole thing or separate the flat and the point. Grind the point for burgers. Much cheaper than $12/lb

The pipeline is inconsequential. It would have been safer and more efficient, but the existing keystone pipeline has been operational for years. XL would have been good for several reasons but it wouldn't have brought the price of oil down.
Oh, domestic production is coming back, of course. But it's not only going to take decades to reverse 25+ years of outsoucing, but we have environmental policy that still outlaws or at least inhibits about 50% of industries and manufacturing. Which is why there will be more lobbying, more special interest, more exceptions to those corporations that grease the right politicians. The oligarchy will expand once again, much like Ayn Rand (indirectly) predicted.
That's US production. Mexico doesn't have the regulations and it's easier to grease palms there. That's why I believe they will be the big winner. It's not going to take them decades.
I am not looking forward to my next gas station trip. Now I have retired I don't need gas as often, so I really get to notice the difference in price. All prices are up, and business has to deal with that fact.
The biggest cost for most businesses is labor, so wages jumping from $9 or $10 per hour to $14 to $15 makes a huge hit on the bottom line. I remember during the last gas price max out, going thru $150 plus per week per spray truck.
As the owner of a 1 or for a while 2 truck business that was a killer. That is part of why I went ahead and retired last year. Between regular inflation and the changes, the county made of what products I had to use, I was either going to work for little to nothing or push thru a 15 to 20% price hike. I didn't want to do either, so I sold my customer list and called it a career.
Poor unemployed handywoman crying about inflation again. Have tampons gone up in price? 😂😂😂
Food is easily up 20%. My gas bill is up almost 40% from last winter with the same usage. Price at the pump is at least 50% from last winter. Wholesale costs for the products I buy and sell are probably at least 50% higher.
They have to use some weird accounting tricks to say inflation is only up 7.5%, like saying that spam is an equivalent to steak so you can still eat for the same amount of money.
A Tweet from El Donaldo Trumpo? Is that the level that the unemployed handymen losers have stooped to? 🤦🏻♂️🙄
Leave it to @KNIGHTTIME^ to hit a new low everyday 🤣🤣🤣

Labor is the #1 expense with most businesses. Nobody is blaming the lower classes, but when wages jump by 25+%, cost skyrocket. I agree corps pay the very top too much, but that is a fraction of their labor cost.
Be careful there. Because there's a "Dr." Smith at my house too.
Although at least my wife's is a PhD, not merely an EdD. But she still has a Doctorate, even if clearly arts, not science. So it is Dr. Jill Biden, like it or not.
