it's not price gouging, the company that sold that meat has expenses, it pays for the animals, cuts them up and then sells it to you with a profit margin
the farmers who raised that animal has expenses, their expenses have increased dramatically in the last 5-10 years and they will keep rising
this has nothing to do with price gouging, this is exclusively, or almost exclusively a problem that comes from primarily left wing politicians but sometimes center-right politicians as well
in the western world we follow something called the keynesian school of economics which advocates for printing money because according to this doctrine "inflation is good for the economy"
they have multiple tricks they use to obfuscate inflation numbers but i dont wanna go into too much detail
the biden administration printed more money than the amount of money thats already in existence and then they tried to blame the price increases on "evil corporations". it's crucial to understand that this is intentional propaganda
