@YaniqueJLambert They’re saying the star shaped bones are kangaroo tails, if that’s true I feel like the price of actual oxtails will go up because people are avoiding the kangaroo mixed in the supply.
You’re not paying attention…

Sometimes I think we’re all trying to out class each other. Things like “omg things are so expensive, why did I just spend $8000 on grapes in Lushusan?” And someone will follow up with “I just spent 10k on grapes in Pricesmart WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PRICE OF GRAPES?”
If you ask pro-capitalist people why a job like, say, sanitation work has such an abysmal wage even though the job is necessary, they’ll tell you that it is an unskilled occupation. We could contest that, but for the sake of argument, let’s concede. By this logic, value is derived from how much labor is required to accomplish something—in this case, the labor of learning the skill in addition to the labor of completing the task at hand. A doctor, then, would earn a much higher wage because of the labor required to obtain the necessary degrees to practice. Okay. But then, if you ask a pro-capitalist people again why the price of a pair of glasses, a mattress, or even a bottle of water is so expensive, despite these things being cheap and easy to make, they’ll tell you that value is not determined by the labor that goes into producing something, but by need and demand. This inconsistency reveals how neoliberal economics functions: the value of something means whatever is most convenient for the ruling class.
