Its antifa!
Disguised as migrant chickens!
It's the deep state.
Definitely those damn trans
It's us sneaky national security threat Canadians >:)
You can blame bird flu for high egg prices at the grocery store.
Which is exactly why there were high prices a couple years ago and why they've been slow to come down. I want to start seeing little gleeful Trump stickers pointing at the egg prices, going "I did that!"
Exactly that. Quick search.. https://www.etsy.com/market/trump_stickers_i_did_that
Aaand purchased. Thanks!
lol I bought some a few months ago thinking they might not be allowed some way or another after trump was sworn in. Was hoping I wouldn’t have to use them at all and didn’t think I would have to use them this quick.
Except the child like adults who put those up everywhere are so deep in the con they can't tell up from down. I mean his butt monkey supporters are actively being grifted by their president via meme coins... I just got a bad feeling that like most other crazy right wing authoritarian movements of the past this one won't end with his supporters waking up and abandoning him over the price of eggs.
"Just one more piece of anti-trans legislation and we can finally get those egg prices back down! We promise!"
Thanks Obama!
/s ~because there’s always that one guy~
I hate when Obama manipulates the price of eggs.
Better vote in a bigger fascist to correct this.
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks
Not true. Bird flu is detected in a factory farm after a small amount of hens die or their behavior changes because of the disease. Once the disease is tested for and confirmed then the corporation that owns the birds and/or the laws of the state dictate that the only "cost-effective" way to handle the disease outbreak is to "depopulate" the farm using any number of unethical means such as "foaming" or ventilation shutdown
can't even buy eggs anymore because of woke
Good news. Would be nice if we added a tax to prevent the price from coming down, and it forced some factory farms to shift to growing mushrooms or something not so harmful to the climate.
What kind of mushrooms?
The ones that grow well in musky, dark, long sheds that already exist on factory farms. Which is a large variety of marketable products.
Butt nuggets are getting made of gold!
Am I the only one who just puts the eggs in the cart and then pays for them?
Why is this the metric and not the price of coffee or hamburger? That shit is expensive.
The chain to get eggs in your local store is shorter and they are easier to produce/collect.
Coffee is imported, hamburger needs to be processed, so more labour is required.
Those would be my guesses.
Eggs are a food staple: they are consumed often and in larger quantities. They are eaten directly, but also included as ingredients in a lot of food. So this means that the price of eggs directly impacts your budget/ability to buy them directly, as well as for goods made with them. Same with milk, potatoes, wheat, etc. Their prices tend to be a sort of broad economic barometer.
And we actually do use hamburgers as a metric. There’s the Big Mac Index for example. It’s used to measure purchasing power between different countries.
According to the following, the average egg price for a dozen large grade A eggs in December of 2024 was about $4.15: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111
According to the following, a large egg is classified as at least 2oz in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_egg_sizes
So that means it is about $2.77/lb of egg. According to the following, you can get whole chicken for cheaper: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000706111
