Anyone else notice how barely any news sites referenced the egg prices being related to bird flu until after Trump took office?

[–] BananaTrifleViolin 28 points 1 day ago

Add to that trumps tarrifs on goods from mexico and Canada, and the price is about to go up even further.

And will be have Trump Flu this year? Hes going to be busy.

Goddamn woke birds screwing it up for Trump. Gotta outlaw DEI and Woke in the private sectors to get these damn egg prices under control.

Probably need to fire the whole FDA admin and USDA admin too.

That's right! Get rid of those brown female hens and stock those coops with white male hens!

"Because I have common sense."

Makes as much sense as dumping water out of dams that won't get within a hundred miles of the fires that the recent rains put out, and now the MAGA farmers won't be able to irrigate this summer.

Managing diseases is woke, just ignore it and it'll go away!

Please take down this post. It's mere mention is unpatriotic, and our beautiful, strong President doesn't like it. As we all know sickness, like this Bird Flu, doesn't exist, it's God punishing those who've let the gay and other liberals demons into their minds. And even if it did, it would have been Kamala's fault (Kamala Flu). So again, please remove this post, or else I'll have to report you.
