I forget where I heard it but the running joke is that whenever theres a mass-killing of pigs, from a chemical spill is what I heard, theres a massive discount sale of or introduction of new pork products across america.

anyways, take that but make it chicken I guess

There has been BOGO pork tenderloins at my grocery store (Publix) almost constantly for at least the last year. I don’t know if that’s normal or not, but it feels like a red flag.

They just tend to be extremely cheap these days, I think because treatlerites seem to prefer pork chops and butts over literally every other cut. But I have some pretty inside info in this industry so trust me I will light this place up if I notice any upstream trends in the pork world. I have been mildly prepping for a year now. If this pops off around 50% lethality there’s going to be no help coming. We’ll see general services collapse (power, water, etc most places) and hallowed out military units patrolling roads at most.

I fantasize about prepping, but don’t have the resources and can’t get my family to take shit seriously anymore.

Isn’t there a similar thing with the McRib? Like they “bring it back” when pork prices are hella low?
