It's kind of funny you talk about that because I was just reading an article. We went to go get some groceries today and hamburger meat has gone up about, oh, I would say another $2 a pound. Today we saw it for $6, $15, and $7 and something even higher than $9 a pound, right? What the hell happened here? And so we could go over to Costco and we could pick it up for $6 a pound and we bought like 10 pounds worth just to have at the house, you know, have a freezer. But the point is that the cost of meat, of beef, is going up even higher. And so I looked it up today and that was one of the things that was going on was, you know, the cost of it. Beef is, there's less cattle because they've had to kill off so many of them for the disease. And then there's also higher costs for transportation and feed and this, that, and the other. And then of course for America, a lot of our ground beef, hamburger, comes from outside sources, South America, Mexico, Australia, and these tariffs are now hitting the products here in the United States for the meat. So everybody's having sticker shock right now, at least I did.
