Killing all the chickens takes a while to replenish.

This is why the Trump-led FTC and DoJ are investigating whether the Biden Administration encouraged the chicken producers by using the avian flu as an excuse to cut down egg and chicken production to create a price floor, something really illegal under US antitrust law.

This would be somewhat good news, but $6.00/dozen is still WAY TO HIGH. I’d like to them below $3.00/dozen. And I’d to actually see eggs back in stock in the grocery stores. I was in Walmart yesterday and where would usually have hundreds (if not thousands of 12, 18 and 24 count eggs, they literally COMPLETELY EMPTY!

The stock market is their new talking point, and it’s far more effective

BIL drives a rendering truck & during COVID farmers were killing what they couldn’t sell. He talked about going to a farm and picking up hundreds of pigs that the farmer asphyxiated because they were put in a position of feeding them but not being able to sell them.

Democrats have been banking on egg prices to cut into Trump’s popularity,

There are so many other bigger issues than the price of eggs, and democrats are clearly in a bad place if that's the best they can complain about Trump on.

The media was so enjoying blaming inflation on Trump after only 45 days in office.

What are they gonna do now?

I’m looking forward to the price of gas dropping.

I’ve been putting off filling my tank.

They will tell us that Trump will cause WWIII by his refusal to attack Russia.

The media is concentrating on the stock market “plunge” that they are blaming on Trump. In a few weeks it’ll be the price of gas, which almost always goes up in mid-April.

Honestly even during the Biden regime we did not notice the increase in egg cost. My Mom buys her eggs from Trader Joes its always 3.99 its been like that even last year, or she will buy from Whole Foods either way its around 3.99

“Killing all the chickens takes a while to replenish.”

Most hens start laying eggs around 18 weeks of age. 30 weeks is peak. Gas in Florida is $3.045 on average. Likely tomorrow we will be seeing under $3 gas everywhere. Diesel was down quick a bit too. More chickens and lower fuel costs will combine to keep lowering the prices. A lot of the slaughtered chickens are reaching age soon.

“This would be somewhat good news, but $6.00/dozen is still WAY TO HIGH.”

Sorry things take a little while to work out. See my post above. Only a crybabies in the press and Dems expected Trump to resurrect millions of chickens (he is not Jesus) and lower gas prices on day one.

Everything is trending in the right direction. Be realistic and accept the good news that is happening. Act like a good Trump republican and quit parroting our enemy talking points.
