3. Lol, "it's going to take years until herds

can grow to meet demand".

Drought is only going to get worse as we approach +2°C in a decade or so. Less grain, less grass. Under Republicans the immigrants who work in slaughterhouses are being deported, very, very few US citizens will do that job for even double the wage. And Republican policies generally will suppress wages.

When hamburger is $20/lb and the average wage hasn't increased for a decade, it will be very easy to meet the demand for beef. Although it won't be ranchers in drought stricken marginal areas like Bear Valley who meet that demand.
