    I just hope we as a society don't prevent the price system from solving this problem.

    Not holding my breath. We seem to like shortages.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      I have a brother who lives nearby and was a butcher for 40 years. Push comes to shove, we can buy a cow, pig, whatever and be good to go for a while.

              Completed my beefalo order today because of this. I added a bit more on for friends, bought about 25 lbs of various pork, but chicken was already low. No whole birds to be found, I bought 3 lbs of breast and pre-ordered a half dozen birds for June. I’m going to miss chicken...

              Think I will get a couple more packs of ribs tomorrow.

                      Cuomo launched an initiative just today to buy dairy products from NY farmers that lost their markets and distribute it to food banks downstate.

                          Can we get Ford to quit building ventilators and start building machines to harvest these animals?

                            Yeah. Funny about that.

                            All the ventilator hysteria has really pissed me off. Trump is still talking about it today.

                              22 million unemployed and we can’t get these animals butchered and move the line?

                              Right now it’s chicken, Pork in a week, Dairy within a month, and beef to follow. Produce in the fall and winter...

                                We can if we allow the price system to solve the problem.
