Economy is ready for beef

昨天在摳死摳的牛排區溜達,尋思拎幾塊ribeye回家給二寶打牙祭。二寶食欲和食量和他16歲的年齡不相稱,唯有牛排他才狼吞虎咽,12oz一會兒就風卷殘雲,盤清。正心裏驚歎這20刀一磅usda prime的價格,就聽到身後一位女士的聲音。

“Honey,economy is not ready for beef.”

然後就聽到小女孩的提問

“what is economy?”

政客們,精英們該多逛逛摳死摳,沃爾瑪,能增加被選上的機會。

我敬佩美國的選民,他們不敬畏盲從權威,精英,媒體,而是敬畏神,敬畏自然,為自己個人的權力和利益而投票。這是民主的基石,也是防止獨裁最有力的武器。

 

Beef 在以前的競選中出現過。

Where's the beef?

from wiki:

"Where's the beef?" is a catchphrase in the United States and Canada, introduced as a slogan for the fast food chain Wendy's in 1984. Since then it has become an all-purpose phrase questioning the substance of an idea, event, or product.[1]

1984 Democratic presidential primaries
The phrase became associated with the 1984 United States presidential election. During primaries in the spring of 1984, when the commercial was at its height of popularity, Democratic candidate and former Vice President Walter Mondale used the phrase to sum up his arguments that program policies championed by his rival, Senator Gary Hart, were insubstantial, beginning with a March 11, 1984, televised debate at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta prior to the New York and Pennsylvania primaries.[1]

Hart had moved his candidacy from dark horse to the lead over Mondale based on allegedly superficial similarities to John F. Kennedy, and his repeated use of the phrase "new ideas". When Hart once again used the slogan in the debate, Mondale leaned forward and said, "When I hear your new ideas, I'm reminded of that ad, 'Where's the beef?'" Subsequently, the two campaigns continually clashed using the two dueling slogans, Hart frequently showing reams of policy papers and retorting "Here's the beef." Mondale's strategy succeeded in casting doubt on Hart's new ideas, and changing the debate to specific details, earning him the Democratic presidential nomination.[1]
