California’s Scrambled Eggs

WSJ ^

[ObamahatesPACoal]

California has a way of living up to the worst regulatory expectations, as grocery shoppers across the country are discovering. The state’s latest animal-rights march is levying a punishing new food tax on the nation’s poor.

Egg prices are soaring in California, where the USDA says the average price for a dozen jumbo eggs is $3.16, up from $1.18 a dozen a year ago, and in some parts of the state it’s more than $5.

The state legislature realized this would put home-state farmers at a disadvantage, so in 2010 it compounded the problem by requiring that eggs imported from other states come from farms meeting the same cage standards, effective Jan. 1, 2015.

(SNIP)

There’s a strong argument that this violates the Constitution’s Commerce Clause, which bars states from discriminating against interstate trade. The feds regulate egg safety, and California’s cage standards discriminate against out-of-state poultry producers.

if a hen has a bad day it is fine

In the old days, if a hen had a bad day, it was fried chicken for dinner.

You do realize FREEREPUBLIC is based in CA, do you?? It’s easier for you Freepers to shoot your mouth off when simply “leaving” is not a very simple solution as it sounds.

How’s this? Send me the specs for city in America comparable to Hollywood where every sound and special effects production infrastructure can compete equally? I work here, make money here, won a Golden Globe and even though I have to work alongside faggot libtard pukes whom I want to strangle, I have the audacity to discipline myself.

[Spktyr]

I also realize I used to live in CA and had to decide which was more important - being a slave to the libtards in CA while living ‘well’ or being free elsewhere.

I moved.

May your chains lie lightly upon you, then. And don’t mind all the film production stuff moving to Texas, Vancouver, etc., etc.

[max americana]

I was in Vancouver a month ago for filming. Very professional people but this canadian content crap is hard to stomach.

[Spktyr]

Is it as hard to swallow as the abject economic slavery of living under the PRK system?

[max americana]

Nah. Try making that sermon to Jim Robinson or the rest of the CA Freepers instead of talking tough on the internet...

I’d also direct your attention here: http://variety.com/2014/film/news/even-films-set-in-california-are-shooting-elsewhere-to-save-money-1201125523/

The film industry is decentralizing and fleeing.

[Spktyr]

Already have in the past. At one point Jim said he was going to be moving to Texas along with the servers.

[max americana]

Yeah, I asked him that too...5 years ago. yet here we are LOL

[tumblindice]

Fresno, Hollywood. Same Same.

[Spktyr]

Actually, it was about a year and a half ago he said he was. Not sure what’s happened in the interim - some of the Texas contingent were assembling lists of nice safe and inexpensive data centers to use.

caged chickens are healthier over all than free running. —

Dare I make a comparison to our society and the prison system?

[tumblindice]

I read about a caged capon named Al who died in Alcatraz.
He was as crazy as Joe Biden and algore combined, from bird flu, I think.

[pleasenotcalifornia]

Hey Max you gotta make a living, better to work in CA than to languish in Kentucky.
I can’t go back to CA without giving up half my guns and that just wouldn’t seem right.

[max americana]

I own guns, dude but I understand your point. I’ve got pretty good attorneys LOL

[Vince Ferrer]

Let me get this straight. The same state that wants to encourage a flood of illegals, regulate the amount of space a new home can take up, and cram people into light rail and “high speed” rail instead of free range cars now is concerned about the crowdedness of... chickens.

[5th MEB]

He ain’t gonna get it!
Some folks just cant seem to understand that not every body is wealthy enough to just drop everything they have worked for all their lives and go some place else to start over.
Especially at my age, all I can do is keep working to educate the stupid and hope when everything crashes all the wets and out of state wellfare cases will go back to where they came from.
