    I didn't care then and I don't care now. Unlike the typical MAGA, I know why egg prices are high. But Trump promised his MAGA cult he'd bring down prices. We all know that's not going to happen.

    In that case, you can probably provide a link to a "typical MAGA" post about egg prices when they hit new highs in the past.

    Sam I am down with the program
    Green eggs and ham Yosemite Sam
    Come Halloween you know I come strapped
    I throw it at a sucker K-pap
    You made the mistake and judge a man by his race
    You go through life with egg on your face
    Woke up in the morning peculiar feeling
    Looked up and saw egg dripping from the ceiling
    Families punk rocks the businessman
    I'll dog anybody with an egg in my hand
    Not like the crack that you put in a pipe
    But crack on your forehead here's a towel now wipe

    He's golfed 3 of his 8 days in office so far.

    Now reason to go back… You can see the posts in this thread… MAGA is still lying about Biden “burning down barns”…

    You seem pretty typical MAGA. Do you know why eggs are so expensive?

    Well let me help you out. I'm a libertarian. Always have been.

    So now that you know that.... of course I know why eggs are expensive.

    The artificial scarcity inherent in a capitalist system?

    The libs are now trying to blame Trump for the Mess continuing that Biden Started. but it's not like he has on been in office 8 days. The hysteria is off the charts.

    You seem more MAGA than libertarian to me. A 'libertarian' who supports Trump doesn't know what libertarianism is.

    A libertarian that spends much of his effort trying to defend why the US needs an extensive bureaucracy and massive expenditure to manage the movement of people and where they can work?

    A libertarian supports anyone who wants to take a wrecking ball to government.

    A libertarian that believes in borders - as many libertarians do - as the basis of property rights.

    I refer you to Rothbard.

    in their defense, they may have been looking at the charts from 2022

    Rothbard was generally not a fan of immigration restrictions. A direct quote from him:

    Cato is more "open borders" than just about any entity in the US.

    https://mises.org/immigration-roundtable/immigration-roundtable-murray-rothbard

    It seems like you are misappropriating nationalist views on immigration (in which land belongs to the nation-state, not the individual, and the state, therefore, has the right to exclude) by labeling them libertarian ones. Rothbard definitely moved into a "paleoconservative" and away from libertarianism late in his career. That brought him more in line with nationalists and away from traditional libertarian thought, which would find the notion of the country owning the property highly ridiculous and even offensive.

    2022 as in some cherry picked date under Biden but not necessarily a reflection of the cost when the trash was thrown out.
