Those days are long gone, with the price of inflation.
I just went shopping for some grub and was passing by the meat isle. I rarely buy beef, since the freezer stays full of hog and deer, but I glanced at the T-bone steaks and holy crap! $9-lb.
It would be cheaper to buy a cow between a few families and butcher it in the barn!
It's cheaper even if you pay to have it processed. Meat at the grocery store is outrageous.
More stooooopid nonsense - beginning with the very first sentence:
Two years ago, Zero Hedge first made the observation that the bulk of Fed reserves (also known simply as "cash created out of thin air" because money is first and foremost fungible no matter what textbook theoreticians may claim...
"textbook theoreticians" - LOL, in other words, "people EDUCATED in ECONOMICS" - as opposed to "just some bozo on the internet"
Grass feed beef doesn't taste nowhere near corn feed beef. Most good ranchers feed grass to young animals and then they switch to corn as they age because of the fatting affect. Marbled Rib Eye taste twice as good as any other steak.
We buy organic/antiobiotic free beef from a local farmer and pay to have it processed. As you said, people have been finishing off beef with three months of grain before they're slaughtered for the last 100 or so years. The flavor is much better too--without the grain it tastes "gamey" and it's super tough and stringy.
Because of the drought out here (midwest and great plains), corn and grain prices are also really high right now, which is one major reason why meat prices have also gone up. That and the fact that lots of ranchers had to sell off their herds last year because there was no hay, and the pastures burned up. If you can't feed your cattle, you can't raise them, and that creates a shortage.

O.K., it really didn't happen because you say so and this money really has no effect.

Well I wouldn't necessarily believed that it happened just because THAT source said it did.
Secondly, even it it did - so what? What evidence is there that it had ANY impact on the cost of beef in Ireland? There's no evidence of that AT ALL - NONE! NADA! ZIP!

Putting trillions and trillions of dollars into the economy has no effect on prices? This is your position?
