Crank prices, reduce supply, make meat a luxury item unless your rich ofcourse, save the planet, not much point if no bugger wants to live there cause there all so bored and have to eat bugs, glad I'm 50 and had a full life!
I still like ribeye steak : o https://m.longhornsteakhouse.com/menu/outlaw-ribeye/prod280244 And barbecue RIBS.... yum https://www.longhornsteakhouse.com/menu/baby-back-ribs/prod280211 And filet mignon.
But then again they were worried about inflation so if they crank the price up, they will be shooting themselves in the foot. My suspicion is on them stress-testing all the infrastructure to see how they would really hold up if there were really cyberattacks and at the same time blame it on Russia and China.

Security experts say the attack appears to have come from a ransomware gang named Pinchy Spider which operates out of Russia and uses a malware called REvil. The group has been in operation since at least 2019. Other reports, quoting cyber experts, point the finger directly at Russia — and have gone so far as to call it a “war situation.” And it may only get worse because it’s so profitable. DarkSide, the Eastern European group behind the Colonial Pipeline attack, brought in a cool $90 million in just nine months from an estimated 47 victims, according to a report from Elliptic. But Hitesh Sheth, president and CEO at Vectra, a San Jose, California-based AI cybersecurity company, said the murkiness of the operations makes it very hard to put a finger on the culprit. REvil — pronounced like the letter “R” followed by the word “evil” — is mostly comprised of native Russian speakers. It is also believed to be based in a former Soviet state. The organization runs a site on the dark web, anachronistically known as the “Happy Blog.” If victims don’t comply with demands, the group posts stolen documents on its blog. “We know that they are protected most likely by Russian intelligence or the Russian government, as are most ransomware groups, which has allowed them to flourish over the last 18 months,” Marc Bleicher of Arete Incident Response, a cybersecurity firm that specializes in negotiations with criminal hackers, previously told CNBC. There may be a connection between this attack and the attack on the Colonial pipeline in that the code used in the ransomware could come from the same source, according to security firm Flashpoint. The FBI has been warning about the rise of REvil for some time. Don’t be surprised if meat prices rise, even after a short interruption. April’s pork and beef prices were up 4.8% and 3.3% compared to a year ago due to a range of things, including a labor shortage, summer demand and restaurants starting to reopen. “JBS USA and Pilgrim’s are a critical part of the food supply chain and we recognize our responsibility to our team members, producers and consumers to resume operations as soon as possible,” said Andre Nogueira, JBS USA CEO. “Our systems are coming back online and we are not sparing any resources to fight this threat. We have cybersecurity plans in place to address these types of issues and we are successfully executing those plans. Given the progress our IT professionals and plant teams have made in the last 24 hours, the vast majority of our beef, pork, poultry and prepared foods plants will be operational (Wednesday).” In the U.S. today, JBS USA and Pilgrim’s were able to ship product from nearly all of its facilities to supply customers. The company also continues to make progress in resuming plant operations in the U.S. and Australia. Several of the company’s pork, poultry and prepared foods plants were operational today and its Canada beef facility resumed production.
This war started already some time ago but the US is still sleeping and does not understand that. Putin uses cyberattacks instead of rockets. And of course he pretends to know nothing about it. Just like when Russia invaded Crimea in Russian uniform from which all signs were removed. Putin always said it was not Russia. Till they had full control of Crimea and then suddenly it was the Russian army. Putin uses KGB tactics all the time. If the US will not see this as a declaration of war, they will pay a heavy price in futur. Putin is controlling all news and social medai in Russia. Russian internet is also completelly isolated from the rest of the world. Putin knows very well why, as he uses these tools against his enemies. Russian internet makes it very difficult to organize cyberattacks against them. Post fake news in Russia that is harming them is almost impossible. Only Putin can post fake news in Russia.
Both, Russian and Chinese internet and firewalls are clearly not setup only to filter and brainwash its own people but also for maximum protection if need be. Have to agree with you on that. I really wonder what is going on with the US. Can the leadership and even top strategists really be that shortsighted to not see this? I highly doubt it. Then why are they still waiting and doing nothing all the while one industry after another is made inoperable. And those are just some funny play runs. Let's see when the real hacks are executed. The entire US electricity grid will be dead for days or weeks.
Next Stage in the damage, a fake UFO / Alien Invasion, seen all of the recent ufo hysteria including Obama getting in on it, big release end of the month aswell. Will you believe them? will you stay home and wear 4 masks, switch of anything electrical and hope the invasion fleet passes us by?? The Elites have card game, very few cards left, this is 1 of them, someone is going to win a $1 bet if they can fool all of you muppets, just like covid!
Praise be to the universe, it gives the out the shit, but lets you get by, until it doesn't and it kills you, then you won't know about it, so rock on!! Holistic, Dirk Gently style!!
Nice to see we have an Adams fan in our midst. Brilliant writer. (Never read the Dirk Gently works, but assume it is in the same vein as the HH Guide to Galaxy stuff).
