Same energy as the dumbass climate change deniers that had the balls to go "HMMMMM ACTUALLY, THE ICE CAPS ON THE NORTH POLE ARE GROWING" and all their proof was a zoomed in graph.
The brainrot is incredible. Opinion pieces disguised as news is insidious and these people need to be publicly ridiculed every moment they are outside. Id still spend $10/dozen to ruin her cars paint job, no hesitation.
Most of the people who were screaming about egg prices are the kind of people who think that it's a serious compromise for eggs to be the only protein component for a meal so good luck selling this idea.
If the headline is designed to anger/annoy me and the article has barely anything to do with it, why would I read it ? Maybe don't lie to my face and play with my emotions and I would read it.
A headline has to convince me that the article is something I'd want to read. This one does the exact opposite so I won't read it. If the article itself is infirmative and useful the author/editor failed writing a headline that represents that.
But that's not what media literacy is in this instance. A headline shouldn't be some kind of puzzle that you can solve by reading the article.
Millions of articles are written each day. Headlines have to guide you in finding the ones relevant for you. They have to present the information found (1/3)
Within the article in a way that entices you to read that article. If the headline paints the article in a completely different light then that headline failed. This headline gives me no clue that the article talks about the realities of factory farming. It solely works on an emotional basis (2/3)
I mean, as has been pointed out, not really what the article is saying. Yes, clickbait article headlines are stupid. But hey, they do them because they work, like right now, again.
The lady literally wrote a book on why the world needs a UBI, and the whole slant of The Atlantic appears left leaning
It doesn't work though, because I don't want to read an article with a misleading clickbait title that leave me with the impression it says something the article doesn't.
It's not just not working, it's even sabotaging the intent.
It caused you enough outrage to post about it, which showed people like me an article we'd otherwise never have seen, and got us to go check out what the deal was, generating a ton of views they'd otherwise never have gotten.
It's not always just about the first-order reaction.
I didn't read the article, but people say it is actually criticizing the "poultry industry" (IDK if it's the right term). The headline seems to be the work of a goblin who sits in every newspaper office and invents clickbait to farm ENGAGEMENT.
It's not a goblin, or anything like that, it's the result of media on internet. There's a lot of newspapers on internet, and they obly get money if someone clicks on the article, so yeah the title is clickbait.
Most often the title is written by another hand than the author by the way.
"What do you mean, no one is actually going to read the article because the US has cultivated a culture of instant gratification and low intellectual value so we can just drop a misleading click-bait title and let the idiots come to the wrong conclusion and in the end support the oligarchy
Part of my family have like a couple dozen chickens (sounds like a lot to some it isn't) and they've composted thousands of eggs. Given away even more than that. And they're dead simple to raise.
The writer of the article believes they should be cheap, that's why they wrote an article decrying the factory farming system that lead us to this point
I did read the article, and they do talk about this history of eggs and stuff and while they have a fair point, the title should have been something like "History of Egg Prices in the US" or something to that extent. Even "Have eggs ever been this expensive" would be less annoying.
Even if we assume that eggs normally are too cheap at the expense of the animals... here's some eggs at a German supermarket, from organic fed, free-range chicken by a regional supplier that doesn't cull male chicks - still cheaper than most eggs in the US.
Ever since the first humans realized that if you feed a chicken she will produce eggs daily, yeah it is basically the cheapest way. Chickens are omnivores and can eat basically everything.
it's weird that Garth Brooks is super into #eggs. I'm weird, though, but that's only according to me. read your post in a funny voice with lots of nasal and home alone 2 tim curry (basmati rice on the side)
The Party says that eggs were never cheap. The Party would like you to know that eggs have always cost this much. The Party would like you to check The Party's official sources of information on the history of egg prices. The Party would like you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
Right. That's why in early 20th C. American hobo jargon "Eggtown" was how they referred to a community where begging prospects were poor, i.e., people were so cheap or poor, all they'd give you was an egg.

Zoomed in on the cold months of a single year.
Read it.
I'm good. 🤙
They’re giving big “we’re always at war with EurAsia 1984” vibes.
Then the article lays out the realities of the factory farming industrial complex, and I understood why the headline was laid out that way.
It's not saying eggs shouldn't be cheap! Media literacy is dead

and with "some" I mean a whole ass case of 20
This is a pathetic cope.
That was eggsellent-
>I am also sorry
I wonder what the difference is?
PS. Answer: There are more intelligent people than idiots in charge.
It's mostly about how horrible the egg industry is.
