    I started experimenting with my cooking a lot during the pandemic, stuff I used to only eat out (I used to basically only make things I could grill). I came to the same conclusion, there is very little I can’t do better. It’s mostly about the ingredients you buy. Garbage in garbage out. But doing it yourself pretty much automatically puts you ahead of any casual dining place serving processed foods. I already felt that way with steakhouses since there isn’t much skill involved anyway and yet they sometimes screw up or have mediocre sides.

    But what did Biden do to drive beef, egg, chicken prices up?

    I mean, if you blamed it on “Bidenflation” it would stand to reason you knew the underlying causes of inflation? And now, there must be a plan to address that inflation? Perhaps, a concept of a plan? Anything? Bueller?

    Inflation started in May of 2020. Trump is DIRECTLY responsible for ALL inflation being so damn high.

    I use WildFork for a lot of my beef. Great prices and great quality. I eat out only like 1-2 a month as prices are ridiculous and my wife prefers my steaks anyway.

    Fair, I am sure there are a lot of discretionary things that would come first (travel, concerts, nights out etc): I was just thinking in terms of groceries specifically because it an expense everyone had to go through every week or less. It’s easy to see where you can cut back on it. Chicken for steak, store brands for name brands etc.

    He has brought some prices down. The prices for Hunter Biden’s artwork, for example, have presumably cratered.
