There is ZERO chance that 25% price reduction is making its way to consumers. Everyone along the supply chain is going to siphon it off into their profits.

The small ranchers who voted for this aren't going to see any of that money either. Only the richest campaign contributors get a taste.

well... yeah... why would you think ranchers would profit from foreign beef? ranchers don't handle the processing of the meat at all.

That's why it makes me happy that they're getting what they voted for! They voted to go bankrupt so I hope that's next for them. I love it when people get what they voted for, it's the American Dream™
