Again, this is primarily about bird flu. Trump is not personally going around infecting chickens.
But he is 1) suppressing CDC research on bird flu transmission 2) firing USDA employees who work on federal government’s response to bird flu outbreaks https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/02/19/bird-flu-usda-doge-musk-trump/
Don’t forget to check the price and availability of chicken itself! Can’t find it in some stores. And just wait until half of our produce rots in the field because we don’t have enough labor to work the farms.
trump didn't personally infect us with COVID but he killed 1 million Americans. Avian flu was active when President Biden was in office but you focused on "rampant inflation."
Did you think bird flu just came along. Where did you think those higher egg prices came from while Biden was president? Bird flu, supply chain disruption, record grocery chain profits. What has TRump done to address the issue? ???
All these fired federal workers who are essential to things like disease outbreaks and nuclear weapons, they really should get together and form their own LLCs rather than agreeing to return to their jobs.
Then they can tell the government to pay them a multimillion dollar contract to do the work.
Trump econ adviser Kevin Hassett said on Sunday that the White House would be releasing a bird flu plan this week. From his preview, it sounded like it might be a plan to...build a wall https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3licmezmmfj2o
Had the US had Canada's COVID mortality rate then roughly 700,000 of the 1,200,000 dead bodies might be up and about to this day.
Oh, and we didn't get the vaccines first.
Is this the same guy who in 1999 predicted that the Dow would reach 36,000 by 2004? He was off by only 17 years. Hope his bird flu prevention acumen is better than his stock market acumen.
Are they also making the birds pay for the wall??
Oh..I know, they're getting AI to build the 'smart perimeter' with like a cat flap thingy where the bird flu virus can't get in or out cause the wrong chip. Cause that's how these things work, it's in the manual, next to inject bleach for covid page
He is a moron.
Chickens die in less than a day.
People wake up in the morning and find half are dead & the other half dying.
The farmers KNOW that brutal culls are the only way to save their industry.
"Jumping J-C On A Raft!!!" as my grandfather would say.
DJT tore up Obama's Pandemic Plan because he got roasted at the WCA dinner in 2011.
No way RFK Jr. is gonna save the US.
40-50 x the human lethality of COVID in humans.
Crossed class into mammals.
If this gets airborne...
He's describing biosecurity measures that are proper and legit. With proper biosecurity (which every chicken farm should have) the barn operates like quarantine. Disinfectants, PPE, etc so nothing transfers in or out of the barn. But that's time consuming and expensive.
It's an influenza virus so it already knows how to shape shift. When it does get to humans as it is now it's not great. More virus around more chance it will mutate into something worse. Which is exactly why we do biosecurity. It protects the birds and humans.
Once you find bird flu in a flock you have to kill the entire flock and properly dispose of the carcasses. Bird flu virus is long lived outside hosts and causes asymptomatic disease in birds. It's a devastating bug with simple prevention measures. We've known how to prevent it for a long time.
Not saying this dude or the trump administration will do any of it right or understand it or be able to communicate it properly but simple measures like boot dip are known to work.
Know any economists that want to do this type of podcast in the US? I think we could use at least 50, 1 for each state to help people make more informed decisions.
This proves that those who voted for Trump were either lying about the cost of eggs OR the mainstream media threw this BS out there knowing others would latch on as a reason to not vote for Biden and Kamala. I don't hear them complaining now. Where are they?
IT WAS NEVER ABOUT EGG PRICES.
I bought a box of 5 dozen at Costco for $17.99….that’s $3.59 per dozen.
Would be great for family’s or neighbors to share the cost of bulk goods and divy them up
Government data on retail prices unfortunately come out with a lag. So the most recent data available are from January, when the average price for a dozen large eggs was just shy of $5.
You can find historical data here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111
Ya know, as a vegetarian I don’t eat eggs. We could all take better care of ourselves and let the little chicks live. And if you just stop eating chicken we wouldn’t need so many of these birds living a horrible life. Just stop buying eggs! Break the habit, not the shells.
Yeah, no. I'm not giving Trump a fucking pass on the price of eggs even though I know the avian flu is primarily the cause. He and his followers blamed "Bidenomics" for everything. He promised to lower prices "on day 1". Folks voted for this man based on this. Hell, no. Fuck, no. Trump’s economy.
Trump is demanding Federal workers return to work while at the same time creating Trade Wars that will make that drive to work more expensive. He is essentially erasing the gains made with higher wages under the Biden Administration.
Where's the outrage MAGA? You sold our Democracy out for egg prices &now crickets. It was never about inflation: just making sure their candidate hated the same people they do. They will suffer but if a liberal, a transgender person, an undocumented person or a person deemed DEI suffers, it's cool 😡
Why such the big f’n deal about egg prices; unless you own a bakery or a busy restaurant serving breakfast? A dozen eggs can feed several people in a variety of ways, make several cakes, dozens of cookies. Chickens are dying or being euthanized. What else can be done? 🤷🏼♀️🙄
I go through 150-250 eggs a weeks. I use 50 eggs alone on a 4 tiered wedding cake. I used to pay 8.97 for 60 eggs. Now that box of eggs are 28.00. It’s a hardship on my business and I’m not sure I can keep it open if this last more than a few more months. Never did I consider voting for trump.
Looks like *MORE THAN DOUBLE* what they were 1 month ago today on Biden's last day!!
So...Trump & MAGA Cult are SOLELY responsible for eggs increasing by more than 2 times in 1 month!! But... Per Clementine Caligula "I'll make groceries more affordable on Day one!"
I am happy to see all the Americans that voted for something of real importance in spite of all the crimes, lies, treason, stupidity that came with it at least got what they wanted.
Criminal boss / conservative, Republican president of the USA Lord Dampnut and his band of plutocratic, establishment, anti-democracy fascists certainly have a way with eggs, right? If you voted for that garbage because eggs, congratulations! Your stupidity is truly very remarkable.
This is further proof that without checks and balances, without independent objective media, politicians can say literally anything to get elected without any accountability once in office
Cool. Stuff more expensive than in e.g. Sweden. I paid 5 dollars 60 cent for 20 eggs yesterday...
Standard price, no sale.
One of the cheaper brands, but cheaper in terms of no ads and no-frills packaging. Good eggs...
Big factor is Factory Farming. Which neither party has the guts to regulate. The argument - ironically - was that if we regulated factory farms and required true free range and smaller scale production facilities the COST Of eggs would go up a dollar a dozen. Now it’s up $5 a dozen.
BREAKING: DOGE brogrammer Chesterton Huntington assumes control of USDA Egg Price Tracking System.
"The price of eggs will soon be back to normal. We found they were fraudulently including non-white eggs in the price database as part of their DEI initiatives, which we have now canceled."
I just don't get this. Egg prices are similar, if not even more costly, in the UK, and yet you don't see us firing our nuclear safekeepers, launching trade wars, and sending children in leg irons to secret detention camps in developing countries.
I didn't vote for this nor did I vote for planes dropping out of the sky nor did I vote for calling Ukraine President a dictator nor did I vote for releasing all my confidential personal information to Elon Musk nor did I vote for deep Medicaid budget cuts nor did I vote for annexing Canada.........
My mom passed a while back but she always struggled. I couldn’t imagine how hard it would have been for her now. It pains me that people are experiencing hardship because of a fat pestilent little child who was never loved by his racist dad.
I guess the answer is to fire more people at the USDA since their data contradicts campaign promises that MAGAts voted for. Bring on more “alternative facts.”
Oh wow! Living in a socialist country (Norway), we have a rumor of beeing a country that's expensive. But it's not even close to this. At the worst, most expensive shops, a dozen and a half, is about 6$

Can we at least agree that was a bad strategy?

Pray it doesn't "learn" how to shape shift like corona viruses or get airborne.
40-50 x the human mortality of COVID.
If that bug gets airborne and somehow learns the corona virus receptor shift trick, lights out.

That being said, the disparity is kinda striking, non, eh?

We have bigger problems.

"The price of eggs will soon be back to normal. We found they were fraudulently including non-white eggs in the price database as part of their DEI initiatives, which we have now canceled."
That’s a 70 cent Dollar.
So $3.15 US.
Oh wait… bad title.

trump crash plane
The Orange Rapist can go F🇨🇦CK himself!
As a Canadian I love the Dutch, isn't Orange the Netherlands's national colour?
Imo Netherland shouldn't change their national Colour from Orange because of Trump.
I just bought 30 eggs for $9.18 CAD.
That would be $6.45 USD.
😂
Have fun paying more Americans.
Remember you voted for this shit.
