YES! Egg prices are soaring again—but don’t blame the birds. While consumers get gouged at the grocery store, Cal-Maine, the nation’s largest egg producer, just announced a plan to do half a billion dollars in stock buybacks! Funny how every “shortage” seems to end with corporations raking it in.

We’re hollowing out NATO and might withdraw entirely from Europe says Secretary (blech) Hegseth. So EU nations are re-arming. Is there anything in our experience that would tell us that a heavily armed and economically challenged Europe with fascist political parties on the rise is a problem?
