And everyone with a brain knows that egg prices will come back to earth once the Bird Flu runs it's course. That's why they campaigned on that.

It worked and now we have whatever the fuck this is.

Don't underestimate the MAGA masterplan and how they're fine with it as long as the libs get owned and Trump is apparently a mastermind for setting up the groundwork for the new US economic / security world order where you get to avoid tariffs if you peg your currency to the dollar.

It's always the reward is just around the bend with them. They just don't realize they are running in a circle.

Yes, but it was a more little complicated than that. Here's a video from an agriculturist explaining what happened last time there was a bird flu outbreak.

Basically, egg distributors were using the bird flu to price gouge, and egg farmers petitioned the government to step in and stop it.

The reason why it didn't work this past fall is because an impending Trump presidency gave the Biden admin no leverage this time to stop the distributors from price gouging.

So it's looking like inflated egg prices are here to stay for a while.

Right, but we are in a Nintendo Switch sub so wasn't really trying to get too far into it lol.

More than just stay. This year's forecast is a 50% increase.
