And then there is promises about egg prices.
This is going to get much worse long before it gets better.
Just absolute fucking garbage values
They can go fuck themselves
What this administration is doing is squeezing all the toothpaste out of the tube (saving it for themselves), refilling the empty tube with a mix of glue and old paint, and then selling it to the public as "new and improved."

I need six eggs.
That's too expensive.
Trump take egg
"so i'm getting an omlette?"
"no"
"so, my eggs will be unbroken?"
"no"
"what's happeing to my eggs?"
"you're not getting any"

Should we be asking which came first? The chickens or the eggs? (a.k.a. scared politicians in lockstep with Trump in hopes of sparing their own necks or the general populace persuaded that voting for lower egg prices was what was needed?)
