yea..fucking hilarious how maga sheep all of a sudden seemed to shut the fuck up about egg prices
Assuming they can read anything that isn't boiled down slop from OAN, Fox, or Breitbart.
I was expecting a whole raft of letters and op-eds in my local corporate rag (Denver Post) that more or less spew the same old "give him a chance to pivot to being presidential, you guyyyyyyzzzzzz" and "we had to put up with Biden when he was in office and you didn't see US protesting like this [1]!!! boo hoo hoo" type of stuff for the next several weeks months after he took power. I don't recall seeing too many of these. Weird.
[1] The fact that these assholes could act like they had to "put up with" Biden when neither Biden or anyone in his administration was trying to target entire demographics and cause "pain" to the American people, etc...completely unlike what donvict is doing. Nevermind that they can sit there and gaslight about not protesting. Protesting is a completely valid and highly American and patriotic tradition - what THEY fucking did when they lost was to throw an insurrection that was run in parallel with a fucking coup attempt.
They are all now experts on the effects of culling chickens for bird flu.
Is this from that time he stared at the solar eclipse without eye protection?
I still wonder if him staring at the sun was more from him just being a complete idiot, or a "imma gunna show them what a MAN I am! This is some real fucking leadership, I tell u wut!"
This is fun
Biden and Obama conspiring in the shadows to help the deep state sabotage trump, obviously.
Having the Jews launch bird flu at farms with their space lasers too.
I hate that I have to, but fucking /s
I skip the /s and leave it as it is as a litmus test over who I can tag with something derogatory for future reference.
Didn't Jabba-the Orange pledge to lower those prices on DAY ONE?
Yeah, but something, something Biden did it.
If biden was a weak and pathetic president..
and trump cant even stop biden from still fucking things up.
then how weak and pathetic does that make trump?
Or is that too much logic for rumpets.
$5. They're $5.
Its one egg, michael. What could it cost, Ten dollars?
BUT Trump said he would lower prices on day 1! I don’t get it, why would he lie?
There's a giant knob labeled EGG PRICES in the oval office and he hasn't turned it yet!
Just yesterday my friend texted that his local bodega in the Bronx is selling $1 loosies or $12/dozen. Fucking egg loosies. What’s next? Egg dealers on Gun Hill?
“Surcharges”
Is that a the grocer version of “dealer premiums” from when car dealers legally price gouged during the covid parts supply shortages?
It’s gonna be like the USSR except instead of bread shops running out of bread you’re just not going to be able to afford it because the grocer jacked up the price to $30/loaf.
The background should probably be the Russian flag.
Swastika would be more accurate.
$4.95 for one egg is ridiculous. I won’t pay more than $4.50 an egg. 😤
Where's the I did that stickers and artificial blame?
Why does that only go one way?
Neighborhood chicken lady went from $2 to $3 a dozen due to the price increase of chicken feed. Hopefully her chickens won’t be affected, mostly for her & her family’s sake.
Eggs at $5.00 a dozen: price per unit, 41.7 cents.
50 Wincester 9 mm FMJ rounds are $14.99. Price per unit, a bit under 30 cents.
“Make Egg Price Great Again”
Amusingly, the pasture raised eggs are now the same price as the regular eggs at Aldi.
For for 65sek (6usd) i get 20 eggs from free-range outdoor hens. At my local grocery store. Maybe you guys can save some money by not bleaching your eggs anymore. It's a pretty pointless practice anyway.
You don't need eggs, eat something else. Better for chickens, biodiversity and the climate as well
Canned white tuna is now cheaper with more protein per dollar than eggs where I am.
So are people treating this as a generalized sign of inflation, or are people actually worried about eggs?
Because if you're treating this as a gauge of inflation, it's a bad one, as there's a bird flu outbreak greatly affecting egg prices.
And if it's just concern about eggs... I don't get it. I mean, I think our household eats a lot of eggs, but a lot is like 2-3 dozen a week. And if eggs cost $2 more than usual, well, that's $6 a week. Meh? I doubt this is breaking the bank for many people.
I think it's a meme at this point, because some people said they voted for trump due to egg prices and he might have promised to reduce them on day one.
He promised to reduce grocery prices on day 1, and end the war in Ukraine after winning the election
"Known liar lies" could just be the headline every day with him
Eggs are staple like bread or milk. It's a cheap source of protein and when the price goes up the people who feel it the most are the ones that are most sensitive to grocery prices. So yes, to you it might not seem like a lot, but to someone who's barely able to afford groceries it's life changing.
