Hey, at least your gonna have cheap pork for a while America.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yes! Bacon sandwiches on discount.

Oh wait, no they will just keep the price difference because they suck.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Why are you guys talking about cheap pork? This is the opposite of that.

I just woke up but it seems obvious?

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah I thought the point is more expensive pork since we're importing them from China. What are these guys saying and why are they getting upvoted?

[-] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

This is exports to China. They are they buyers and they cancelled the orders.

Man, I had to read the linked sources to understand what was going on. How do you write all this and it doesn't even make sense.

The title maybe makes it sound like china was buying pork from the US. Maybe since usually it’s a buyer that would cancel an order (as a seller would usually sell to anyone willing to pay the market price.)

[-] zulfiqaramer@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

? Why would they lower prices after people have already shown they're willing to pay what's posted?

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Well it's a free market right?

[-] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

All of the bacon and booze not exported, will help swallow down the misery.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I had no idea our pork comes from china. Good thing I don't eat red meat anymore

[-] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

These are pork exports to China

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago

Isn’t pork considered white meat?

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Some cuts of pork are considered white under the culinary definition, but all pork is considered red meat in nutritional studies.

From Wikipedia.

[-] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Did not know that

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Pigs fed plastic oh darn..I can't believed they eat our meat
