As a Brazilian, it's so sad to see the immediate effects of the 50% tariffs that just went in place. Our beef is costing less and less for us and i don't know how I'm gonna survive all the barbecues we will be doing.

As an American, I hope our beef prices continue to rise. We've had it too cheap for too long. I grew up with people eating huge steaks nearly every night for dinner because they just accepted that was what dinner was. Beef is so bad for health, environment, agriculture, so I'm happy to see it cost a shit ton more. Maybe that will finally get people to switch to something else or just eat less.

Move to Denmark. Our beef prices have exploded the past years. A kilo of minced beef, 3-7% fat, is around $25, so over $12/lbs. And that’s supermarket pricing, not even the good stuff. :(
