LOGAN, Utah — This is no bum steer. A food company is offering 5 pounds of ground beef to Utah residents who receive a vaccine at free clinics being held on Saturday and Monday.
The cost of the vaccine is free. The beef is free, too.
Nothing like putting your life on the line for a couple pounds of beef that'll only feed you for a few days.
But, maybe that'll be all the time you have left to live according to more and more peer reviewed studies I've been reading about the deleterious effects of this monster.
In college I did a deep dive on the Holocaust and how Jews were rounded up. Turns out the Nazis did not necessarily need guns to force capture but instead constricted the food supply to traditional Jewish/gentile “neighborhoods” and promised food as a bounty on Jews.
If it was just me and the hubs, the answer is simple: resist but I have often wondered what I would do if my child was starving and I could get bread for that child by just dropping a dime. Having just witnessed some bare spots at my local Publix, I fear those days are almost upon us.
My father drove a delivery truck back in the '60s selling eggs. His customers were mainly restaurants, some Mom and Pop grocery stores, and a couple of the larger grocery stores. He was delivering to one of the Mom and Pop stores and noticed a sign "Hamburger" and a very low price. He figured it was a loss leader to get people in to buy other items and mentioned that he'd stock up, but didn't want to hurt the owner's bottom line. The owner told him that if he wanted ground beef, he'd fix him up with a good quality product at a good price, but that my Dad didn't want the stuff that was on sale. It was beef fat, beet powder, and ice. The owner said his customers didn't care as long as it was cheap. I'm betting that any "free ground beef" offered is coming from the lowest bidder and is near or at the bottom of the quality scale. I'm also betting that the people that jump at the chance for a freebie won't care.
A $15 bribe seems a little wanting.
ReplyDeleteI think it was Michael Franzese who said that it isn't surprising that everyone sells out; rather, it's surprising how cheaply they sell out.
DeleteOh My. How heartwarming. Elsie the cow's giving up her life to save humans from Covid.

1. There is no such thing as a free meal.
ReplyDelete2. The second mouse gets the cheese.
I will gladly vax next Tuesday for a burger today, said Whimpy never!
ReplyDeleteWirecutter might be in trouble boys if it were a big stack of bacon.
ReplyDeleteStay strong.
what are they offering the annoying Vegans, a head of lettuce and some celery?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder the Chinese and Russians are taking over this country.
ReplyDeleteEh. The only "Russians" taking over the country are neocons.
DeleteMost of them probably have that much undigested red meat in their bowels anyway.
ReplyDeleteAre they aware their audience is mostly Mormon?
ReplyDeleteAnd Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of pottage.
ReplyDeleteThe deal only applies if your name is "Wimpy".

ReplyDeleteWouldn't take a million dollars to get that shit injected in me so imagine what effect offering 5 lbs of hamburger does.
