Because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

And now we got a really small potato crop because of some weather incidents globally.

Now the price of potatoes is way up 30.5%.

All told, our bacon cheeseburger since the beginning of the pandemic, 33.4% more expensive.

And this is my chart.

I should also give a shout out to Mike McDonough, who makes a bunch of charts for Bloomberg.

He made like a bacon, egg, and cheese index, and he also made the bacon cheeseburger index, which tracks all this stuff.

So that was that was where I got the idea.

So Mike McDonough, you're great.

Parasites will do that for you.

Is that

Yeah, cattle farmers are not happy about this.

Um my parents had cattle when I was growing up, and cattle farmers are not and most of the beef in the consumed in this country is domestically raised.

It's one of the things that we do not typically import.

But now we're importing a ton of beef from Argentina because the price is so high.

And the I think the demand supply thing is a little broken with beef.

Okay, you sound confident.

I have not seen this confidence from you.

let's see this chart.

I'm excited.
