    likely to line up for federal aid if his get hit. human nature but if you are capitalizing on it you shouldn't also get relief from it if it hits you

    According to Q he has never left. He was supposed to return like 4 times on certain dates but now that he has theyre happy. I dont get now he left and wasnt secretly in control the last 4 years...I guess Ill need to go to the one story the pizza parlor basement where theyre draining blood from infants to find out.

    Kind of a weird take.
    Certainly wouldn't be his first thought if it hit but if he did id be fine with it. The guy is small potatoes, has lived in the same house for 70 years and scrapes by.

    In your scenario it would seem no different than every other occupation/biz that benefits from increased demand then suffers a disaster and gets aid.

    it feels more like price gouging due to artificial shortage brought on by natural disaster. hopefully his hard work pays off for him and he can stay free of the flu

    Kill how many millions of egg laying hens and this is what you get, to that hard. Same thing with egg prices going up under Biden.

    How can we be sure that Trump is not injecting the hens with bleach and making them take horse pills?

    Yea. I use a roasting pan rub lightly with avocado oil throw on some salt pepper and put chopped veggies in the pan. 20 mins a pound at 375 they say but I just use a thermometer to know when it’s done. Never fails.

    Just paid $5.99 for eggs. I was paying $3.50 under Biden. This is going great.

    Glad to see Trump is making progress already. In the OP prices were $6.55 so that is a decrease of $0,56, so they are already down 8.5%. Thanks Trump.

    Did I do that right? :):):)

    I went grocery shopping this morning and discovered an unusual inversion in the price of eggs. The price of Eggland's Best is usually significantly higher than the store brand. I purchased a box of 2-dozen Eggland's Best for $7.99 ($4.00 a dozen). The store brand is $7.39 a box for a dozen and $10.99 for a box of 18. This is from the store's website.

    A link to my post from October showing the $5.29 eggs you linked were $3.99 and store brand was $2.99.

    AOC says inflation is propaganda

    We will remember prices under Biden as the good ole days.

    Wild guess: premium egg brands have a supply chain (smaller farms / free range hens) less susceptible to avian bird flu?
