Remember when Obama invited some Joe Schmo to 'have a beer at the whitehouse'? Yeah, those kinds of things, they do them for the optics.
Most politicians are inauthentic and it's usually really cringey. Elizabeth Warren's first sip out of a beer bottle - Her chardonnay fingers had no muscle memory for how to hold it. Deeply embarrassing to watch. Hillary's affected black southern Baptist preacher's voice? I'm puckering just thinking about it.

Gerald Ford was as bland as a pine board and that's just who he was but the most authentic I can remember was Trump. His blowhard, P.T. Barnum, no F's to give persona was, for better or worse, a constant and he owned it to the hilt. There was never any guessing who he was.

The problem with Biden's version of inauthenticity is that it's not just a whorish salesmanship job like the others. He really thinks he drove a long haul truck at one time and if you were to joke with him long enough about his discovery of oil in 1859 he would come to believe it and repeat it. He's partially a turnip and when he's in turnip mode he's as honest as you'll ever see him.

"As one computer said, if you're on the train and they say portal bridge you know you better make other plans"

This is completely sincere turnip-speak. He's not pretending to be a computer scientist or a railroad man. Turnips just do this.

"A spokesperson for Cascade Investment — a firm chaired and controlled by Bill Gates, and possibly what he was referring to as “my investment group” on Reddit — declined to comment on specific land holdings at the time. However, they told The Land Report that Cascade is “very supportive of sustainable farming.”

The firm is a shareholder in plant-based protein companies Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, as well as agricultural equipment maker John Deere."


It's no secret that the elite believe they know what's best for us and we just need to change even if it means market manipulation, legislation and cultural retraining.
Well, the elitist snots can go pound sand. I will continue to buy it for me and my pets, as they get a species appropriate diet, no matter how much farmland Ill Will Gates buys up. He can eat all the bugs he wants, but in this house, we will continue to have meat.

Prices are up much higher than they used to be, regardless of what some think. $2.99/lb for chicken is high. I used to get it for 99 cents a pound - in FL, in ME, in CA, and where I am now. Pork is actually cheaper than chicken right now, but even that is up by a dollar/pound. Beef - way up. Way, way up.

I remember, in the olden days, when hamburger was the cheap food. You would get a pound, cheap, and some people, like my mom, would make meatloaf or Hamburger Helper with that meat, and it would feed everyone, and still have leftovers. Now? Hamburger is ridiculously priced. Don't even start on the price of steak, anymore. But I'll still have one every year, like always, for my birthday. They can suck it.

I have yet to pay more than $2.99/ lb for 80-85/ 20 burger meat. Plan B is to share an order for half a cow with neighbors.

I could easily pay $10+/ lb for grass fed organic hamburger.

I live in a very competitive grocery area and comparison shopping is my hobby.

Biden has cognitive issues. Knew that going in. He won because he was not Trump.

What would Trump or any POTUS have done that Biden has not to maintain the price of hamburger? Be specific please.

Guess Biden could freeze all wages/ prices by EO, as Nixon did in 1970 or maybe ban the export of beef. The latter would likely result in demands for compensation no diff than when Big Ag could not export certain crops to China.
