Where’s the beef?
How can it be that with so much cattle in America, we sometimes can’t buy meat?
At the beginning of the pandemic, Costco, Wegmans and Kroger limited purchases of beef. Hundreds of Wendy’s outlets ran out of hamburgers.
“How the hell can this be?” says Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., in my new video. “They (Wendy’s) were out of hamburger, yet you could see cattle from the drive-thru!”
It happens because of stupid government rules.
Massie owns a small farm in Kentucky. “I’d rather deal with cattle than congressmen,” he jokes. “At least (cattle) exhibit learned behavior.”
But politicians often don’t.
“You’re born with the right to eat what you want,” says Massie. “Why is the government getting in the middle and saying, ‘No, you can’t buy that’?”
“To keep you safe,” I push back.
“They’re not keeping you safe,” Massie responds. “They’re keeping you away from good, healthy food.” – READ MORE
