California’s Scrambled Eggs

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.

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.

I reexamine the fight vs. flight argument regularly. I live in the Peoples Soviet of Washington in the shadow of the Seattlunatics. My reasons for staying are roughly the same as yours - with the addition that I enjoy being a thorn in the side of proggies ;’)

I confess that the “thorn in the side” aspect is also
one of my guilty pleasures. Always enjoy hearing from
a fellow traveler.

Well said ... there are many of us in the same boat who can't leave, for whatever reason. And I've been yelling for a long time about how California consistently leads donations in the FReepathon -- if it weren't for California, FR might not exist.

And Max, as a side note ... love your profile page :-)

Thanks. Easier said than done. Besides, TX will turn blue with their wetback population anyways. I’m already experienced dealing with libtards, faggots and idiots in my state anyways..

And yes. I actually pray with that prayer on my profile page...even at church where I get a lot of looks.

Hear! Hear!

Well said dale!

It’d almost be worth it to drive to NV and purchase bootleg eggs and sell them on the black market...
