Summary

Egg prices in the U.S. have reached a record high of $4.95 per dozen amid a severe bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens.

The shortage is compounded by rising feed, fuel, and labor costs, as well as increased demand and stricter cage-free regulations in several states.

Consumers face empty shelves, surcharges, and limited availability, with some areas pricing cartons at $10 or more.

Prices are expected to continue rising, especially with Easter demand.

Assuming they can read anything that isn't boiled down slop from OAN, Fox, or Breitbart.

[-] admin@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 days ago

Yeah, they should change the book into a tiktok.

I was expecting a whole raft of letters and op-eds in my local corporate rag (Denver Post) that more or less spew the same old "give him a chance to pivot to being presidential, you guyyyyyyzzzzzz" and "we had to put up with Biden when he was in office and you didn't see US protesting like this [1]!!! boo hoo hoo" type of stuff for the next several weeks months after he took power. I don't recall seeing too many of these. Weird.

[1] The fact that these assholes could act like they had to "put up with" Biden when neither Biden or anyone in his administration was trying to target entire demographics and cause "pain" to the American people, etc...completely unlike what donvict is doing. Nevermind that they can sit there and gaslight about not protesting. Protesting is a completely valid and highly American and patriotic tradition - what THEY fucking did when they lost was to throw an insurrection that was run in parallel with a fucking coup attempt.

They are all now experts on the effects of culling chickens for bird flu.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

So covid was a hoax but bird flu and measles are real. I'm not quite following.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

They might remain real things right up until the moment they have to change one IOTA of their own lives, or if they think it's making donvict/fElon look bad in some way.

I will never forget how many younger right-leaning/red-pilled types did this collective shrug about Covid, by the way: "that's something that only impacts old people who just need to die anyway and fat people and/or diabetics, and that's their own fault, so I should not have to adapt one little bit". Many of these people in the same generations that a lot of people are telling me are soooo much better than every other generation that ever existed.

Make sure at every opportunity that you call everyone of those fuckers a hypocrite, and if you don't have to maintain any sort of relationship with them, also make sure they know how much of a cunt they are too.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago

Holy hell that is hilarious on multiple levels.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 44 points 6 days ago

Am I correct that that is him pointing and looking directly at the sun?

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago
[-] MrMeowMeow@mander.xyz 9 points 6 days ago

Even better, it’s him staring at a solar eclipse

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

That is absolutely perfect. *chef's kiss*

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 6 days ago

Technically the eclipse which you aren't supposed to look at. Because you risk going blind.

Fucking idiot.

[-] vegeta@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago
[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

Is this from that time he stared at the solar eclipse without eye protection?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

I still wonder if him staring at the sun was more from him just being a complete idiot, or a "imma gunna show them what a MAN I am! This is some real fucking leadership, I tell u wut!"

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Given the cost of everything including stickers, maybe it might be good to have a printout of this and take it everywhere, then take an image with this held up next to the prices.

Also, in Bronzo the Clown's America, I might get deported or sent to Gitmo over defacing some gas pump with...stickers.
