Inflation remained stubbornly high in January, as grocery, gasoline and shelter costs all rose. Egg prices saw their biggest price hike in almost a decade.

Wait- wasn't the old Cheeto supposed to bring prices down? We will have to wait and see what effects building hotels in Gaza and renaming the Gulf of Mexico will have on the cost of living in the US. Be patient my fellow Americans 🤔
But look on the bright side! Inflation in February - and in every subsequent full month of the Musk/Trump régime - will be 0.0%, according to the Musk/Trump Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“Unexpectedly” ?
Really ?
By whom ?
Bird flu, tariff threats, and a guy who doesn’t understand basic Economics nor has ever been in a supermarket in the entire 78 years of his vile life.
And so-called Fox "News" is unable to admit the current dirth of healthy hens has anything to do with eggs. It's all Biden's fault. And probably Hillary too, since she's a woman.
Wrong, nothing is/was unexpected
Bird flu raged and a felon stole the presidency and put criminal interlocutors in place to rape and pillage our government. If you’re surprised, then you aren’t/weren’t paying attention.
Do you any plan to deal with inflation. Remember when people can't buy products that will affect you and your billionaire friends bottom line better get with it.
"Unexcpectedly" my old white ass. Anybody with 2 functioning brain cells knew this was gonna happen when the orange gasbag took over with his destructive tendencies, hate, and ignorance.
I don’t feel like it is unexpected. Trump brings chaos, which means everyone is nervous - buyers, sellers, etc. In such a chaotic landscape you can’t plan foe the future.
NPR, if you think tariffs, talking the govt's eyes off bird flu, and just general chaos & uncertainty have nothing to do w/ the "unexpected" rise in prices, then you basically think economics is magic, w/ no relationship to reality.
Oh look trump can't even fo his job to help the spread of bird flu. Shuts down the one thing that could actually help. Also stops snap that helps kids eat when greedy billionaires shut down social services. Fu president elon.
Fox News, through its many mouthpieces, have made paying higher prices "patrotic." Now, if you complain about high prices- you aren't a "real" patriot.
Of course they did... we all knew he was just a lying pos... Why don't you print THAT as your headline? "As a reminder that Trump lied in his campaign promise to lower grocery bills for Americans on day one, egg prices saw their biggest price hike in almost a decade in January."
But we got a new director of the Kennedy Center, a new name for one of our gulfs, some more white dudes from South Africa, government pages free of LGBT-related stuff, and passports without trans designations. Yay us!
How was it “unexpected”? With captain bone spurs in command, what else did you expect? Last time he was in power he did the same thing, caused inflation that Biden caught slack for.
The price of eggs cannot recover until the H5N1 epidemic is dealt with. Considering T's incapacity and cruelty, that seems unlikely until all the chickens are dead and we have to source eggs from Mexico and Canada... ooops.
These are the final numbers from before he took office. Moving forward, if it continues, you can blame him. But you can't blame him yet. You libs are jumping the shark. But you know that. You all live in a blue bubble.
Still making up for covid losses is what they will say. Keep pushing rich up higher and they will continue to step all over anyone else and steal our $.
"Unexpectedly, tariffs, ideologically-driven administrative witch-hunts, mass public sector layoffs, international belligerence and generalized angst and political instability appear to be acting as inflationary levers"
- a "journalist" who should never ever ever write about economics.
He also promised to end the war in Ukraine on day 1, and to be an "anti-war president," but they've already admitted a) they have no intention or even idea of how and b) they never actually cared about those things anyway.
Com on npr, Unexpectedly??? - Not! The tariffs, cost of deportations and the massive decrease in the work forces production due to constant news cycle attention Pres Musk(trump) requires to boost tiny ego has yet to be added into Trumpflation
Haha. Even NPR. The authoritarian regime has already altered news sources that might hold them accountable. Seriously. "Unexpected"? Did you expect inflation after January 20th?
I hate how media still paints this picture that current inflation is this mysterious force that no one understands. It doesn’t take a phd to see a large portion of it is coming from corporate greed
Congratulations to the more than 1/3 of the American electorate that didn't vote and the purists that didn't think the former Vice President wasn't perfect enough for them.
Whilst we are mourning the loss of the morning egg, please keep in mind, bird flu is a critical problem. Without the hen, there will be no eggs, thus no chicks.
They voted red to make eggs cheap,
Now shelves are bare, the price hikes steep.
Bird flu questions are left unaddressed
Since agencies’ voices are now suppressed.
Conservatives on reddit no longer care about inflation and the economy. They are willing to suffer as long as the government is dismantled. Mind you these are not billionaires but wage slaves like 90% of us. The brain rot is real.
As one person on here said, nobody jams 30 flags and banners up their ass and plasters someone else's name all over their home, vehicle and body because they care about egg prices. They wanted to "own the libs" and if that means lettuce is nonexistent and eggs are $50 a carton, well worth it.
The same people I know that cried about prices under Biden are suddenly silent about them now. They never cared about any of that, it was just an excuse. When prices were down they complained about interest rates. Ones with no house complained about mortgage rates. They don't gaf about any of that.
The world was 1 day away from Armageddon and pure fascism under Biden, but a literal dyed-in-the-wool fascist writing illegal executive order after illegal executive order doesn't worry them a bit. (They bitched about Obama writing executive orders, too.)

No war but class war.
Never trust a psychopath this is what you look like:

Trump only recently discovered “groceries”

Everything that happens now is President MuskraTrump's fault. 100%, just like everything that happened under Biden was *his* fault (per MAGA).

Everything Trump did will result in higher prices, hence more inflation.
Please do better.
This is NOT an issue.
They make substitute such as "Simply Eggless"
😄😄😄😄😄
- a "journalist" who should never ever ever write about economics.
Nazis should kill themselves.
And they began screwing up, big time...that's another.
And...Trump can't organize a two-car parade...that must be the largest part.
You've truly outdone yourselves...
Really NPR?
