Now that it’s Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?

“How could Biden do this?”

Is the response I’ve seen so far.

The Democrats were not exactly wrong. But a lot of people twist it and act like they said it’s perfect, and perfect for everyone, which they did not say.

We are about to find out how much worse it can actually get, and I guess the people that were saying “Bidenomics” was the worst thing ever and total tyranny, etc., are likely going to have to eat their words…

Republicans are dupshits who will now happily buy a carton of eggs for $10 because it’s “owning da libs”.

I don’t often go to Fox News, but man under Fox Business and the stock market going down, people are actually upvoting very negative reactions to all of this. It was surprising to read. I thought somehow they were going to sugarcoat it, but they aren’t, and in most cases upvotes are far outnumbering the downvotes.

I’m eating even less eggs than usual, and it was already very, very low.

Probably the only reason our family eats them at all at this point is because a neighbor gives us the eggs from their hens. There is nothing to say their hens won’t get bird flu, so I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to eat eggs.

IIRC Costco’s supplier had a salmonella outbreak back in December: https://abcnews.go.com/US/fda-escalates-recall-costco-eggs-include-risks-severe/story?id=117092796

He did fire a bunch of the people in public health who were trying to make policies to prevent the birds being infected.

Just like how we have routine food recalls because he shuttered lots of food regulation during his first term. Wonder how much Boar’s Head has donated to the Republican Party….

Eggs are 4x regular price. Chicken (meat) has barely moved. There’s no lack of stock, on a perishable product and the prices are incredibly high.

Greed made that price.

I’m actually smart enough to understand this. But they blamed Biden for shit that he had no control over so I’m going to be spiteful and blame everything bad on Trump.

This blame game goes two ways Republicans. See you at the midterms.

Not entirely true, as H5N1 isnt working to do this on its own. He’s made nondocumented workes feel unsafe so it’s hard for them to work. Specifically in the low wage work one finds on a farm, especially if the work is in a red state. Look at Kentucky, for example.

This is also going to start some knees to jerking, but he’s also technically correct that inflation specifically hasn’t been that bad, if you actually look at inflation rates it’s not particularly worse than what we’ve had in other decades, the 90’s which we associate with a bountiful economy had higher inflation rates for a longer period of time.

What’s making all of this untenable is companies doing everything they can to avoid paying livable wages and most of all price gouging. Which they’re doing with eggs for good reason, but we also have to understand that anything that uses poultry is also going to take a hit, and then, like magic, a variety of other companies and services use these specific gouges as a justification to raise their own prices beyond inflation levels, even if they sell things that have never touched a chicken, like fucking mortgages and medical care.

We used to have bureaus and departments to keep this kind of thing in check. You can argue their effectiveness but at least we had them.

Gladly, I would love to post those all over my stores.

I think the businesses should start putting them up. In the cases of things affected by his stupid tariffs, it will actually be true in this case.

What’s even stupider is that he still has the support he has. I’d love to start seeing more man on the street interviews asking the redcaps if they voted FOR tariffs. If they stupidly say yes, because, hey, they are a fucking cult, I want the follow-up question to be WHY? What do they think it will really do, in the short term? Also ask them why the CHIPS program was killed, if they are so interested in American jobs…

MAGA supporter: “iT wAs NeVeR aBoUt tHe PriCe of EgGs. yOu’Re MiSsiNG tHe PoInT.”

I mean, to be fair… stock prices are rapidly being driven down, so he was kinda right.

just goes to show you that he doesn’t give two shot about anyone but himself, and SOMETIMES his family…. 1/3rd of america voted for this, because they wanted to be able to discriminate again.

Sounds like a good way to spread avian flu, though I guess Fox News probably doesn’t care about that.

Also there was an article I saw that ran the numbers, and it would take way too many chickens plus selling some of the eggs for that to break even for most families.

All of the Facebook groups I’m in for keeping backyard chickens are infested with conspiracy loons. They think the bird flu isn’t real, and that the culls are a ploy to get us to eat fake meat.

So we probably are going to have an outbreak - the same fuckers who refused to wear masks sure as hell aren’t going to safely handle sick chickens. Time to invest in ivermectin stock I guess.

*Fox State Media.

How is that gonna work when so many properties are under the thumb of HOAs.

My neighbors regularly lose chickens to coyotes…

Fox wants people to have chickens. Nothing suspicious about this surely

The qons are saying it’s a bad economy, even though they inherited a very strong economy. They are of course blaming the downturn which is thanks to little d’s games with tariffs, on Biden.

Of course they also act like it was Biden out there strangling millions of chickens himself to mess with the egg supply.
