Economy is ready for beef
昨天在抠死抠的牛排区溜达，寻思拎几块ribeye回家给二宝打牙祭。二宝食欲和食量和他16岁的年龄不相称，唯有牛排他才狼吞虎咽，12oz一会儿就风卷残云，盘清。正心里惊叹这20刀一磅usda prime的价格，就听到身后一位女士的声音。
Honey，economy is not ready for beef.
然后就听到小女孩的提问
what is economy?
政客们，精英们该多逛逛抠死抠，沃尔玛，能增加被选上的机会。
我敬佩美国的选民，他们不敬畏盲从权威，精英，媒体，而是敬畏神，敬畏自然，为自己个人的权力和利益而投票。这是民主的基石，也是防止独裁最有力的武器。
Beef 在以前的竞选中出现过。
Wheres the beef?
from wiki:
Wheres the beef? is a catchphrase in the United States and Canada, introduced as a slogan for the fast food chain Wendys 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, Im reminded of that ad, Wheres the beef? Subsequently, the two campaigns continually clashed using the two dueling slogans, Hart frequently showing reams of policy papers and retorting Heres the beef. Mondales strategy succeeded in casting doubt on Harts new ideas, and changing the debate to specific details, earning him the Democratic presidential nomination.[1]
