    After promising cheap eggs and completely failing to deliver, the right mob gets unruly, and the government must mimic action really quick now.

      Pasture raised liberal farms were taking preventative measures before their counterparts in factory farms got devastated by bird flu. Coincidence? I think not!

        Seriously. I’ve always ponied up the extra money for the pasture-raised eggs (especially the mobile pasture ones!), and oddly, my egg prices haven’t changed. Hmm wonder why that is hmmmm

      It was a thoroughly documented situation before Trump campaigned about fixing it. I’m sure they paid attention to the reports, knew what to do when they promised cheap eggs, and will follow through to fulfill their promise, right? Right?

      Not supporting trump, but much like inflation under biden, there is suspicion that egg sellers are using the news of avian flu as an excuse to raise prices far in excess of the proportional increase caused by the actual supply reduction.

        Maybe. I never would have believed it but John Oliver gave stats on the number of birds killed to prevent the spread of the disease and it was far lower than I expected. Maybe there’s something else to it. And yes, the world is a strange place when statistics from a comedy talk show are more trustworthy than from government sources

        Note that frozen potatoes were found to be an illegal cartel just last year. Its quite possible that the egg suppliers are doing similar.

        The problem is that I don’t trust Trump on this issue.
