China is the world's biggest consumer of human albumin, the most abundant protein in plasma. But it remains heavily reliant on plasma from its biggest geopolitical rival, the United States, for much of its supply.
That reliance carries growing risks for Chinese patients. https://t.co/5HGDz4WS26
Cheap Imported Beef began arriving at US Grocery Stores today.
We’re still not sure which country it’s coming from. But it looks delicious. Thank you President Trump.
Chinese robots have learned to dance the waltz
At the World Robot Conference, UBTECH’s humanoid robot Walker S replicated a person’s movements in real time and adjusted its balance using tactile sensors.
The company’s robots are already being used on the production lines of NIO and BYD.
That’s a remarkably confident take from someone who clearly thinks every small cattle rancher has a federal money printer in the barn.
Small independent ranchers get plenty of government regulation, paperwork and costs. The mega agricultural operations are the ones positioned to exploit massive subsidy programs.
But sure—kill the small rancher and become even more dependent on mega-packers and foreign beef. Brilliant plan.
Everyone debating beef prices should hear from someone who actually raises cattle.
I’m a small rancher. It can cost me ~$2,500 to raise an animal + ~$600 to process it. If I bring home ~500 lbs of beef, that’s $6.20/lb before I pay myself ONE DOLLAR for land, fencing, equipment, fuel, labor, losses or risk.
So no, American ranchers aren’t getting rich off expensive beef.
And importing cheaper beef isn’t the solution I want.
I’d rather see Americans cut out the mega-packers and buy directly from local ranchers. Buy a quarter, half or whole animal. Know the farm. Know how it was raised. Ask whether it was grass-fed, grass-finished, grain-finished, or something else. Know who processed it.
Quality and production standards vary, and “imported” doesn't automatically mean inferior—but cheaper commodity beef is not the same proposition as knowing exactly where your food came from.
Want to help American families AND American cattlemen?
Buy local. Buy direct. Shorten the supply chain.
Then you don’t have to wonder which multinational handled your dinner—or whether tomorrow’s “beef” came from a cow, a bioreactor or a 3D printer.
Food security starts with knowing your farmer.

President Trump had a choice, try to save America ... or try to save the Empire.
He chose the latter.
Now America (and the Empire) are paying dearly for it.
A confluence of bad decisions are creating a perfect storm:
- $40 Trillion in debt has been crossed.
- America has suffered its greatest strategic military defeat in Iran.
- America is getting kicked out of the Middle East, instead of leaving voluntarily.
- The AI Bubble is the biggest bubble (by far) of them all.
All of this should have been avoided.
The "Golden Age" is anything but golden.
Watch @RonPaul & @ChrisRossini below:
@GoodRanchers Why not keep the tariffs on the beef? I mean they are paid by other country right? They don’t raise prices at all, right? I thought tariff ffs were good for the economy. Surely this can’t be proof that Trump has been lying about tariffs this whole time, right?
We understand why beef prices are a problem right now. Ground beef is averaging $6.89 a pound, up 57% since 2021, and that's real pressure on American families.
But flooding the market with 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef with no tariff for 90 days is not a solution for American ranchers. It's a short-term price fix that puts more downward pressure on the cattle producers who are already struggling to stay viable. Trump has not said which countries this beef is coming from or who committed to the 25% price reduction he's promising.
American cattle ranchers have been dealing with years of drought, high feed costs, and a shrinking herd. The answer to that is not more cheap imported beef with lower standards competing against them on shelves with no country of origin label required to tell you the difference.
We will continue to source 100% American. That is not changing.

Trump dice que EEUU está en su "época de oro", sin embargo el número de compradores de viviendas en el pais ha caído al nivel más bajo jamás registrado.
Estas son las calles de Berkeley (California) hace unos dias, llenas de sintechos sobreviviendo en las aceras.
El capitalismo que no te enseñan en su pais modelo.
