    ^ Trump's about to reduce that price by increasing energy production though, right?

    I've always thought eggs were under priced for what you get. They're no where near my *too much* threshold.

    "The incredible, edible egg!"

    :D

    Or Kroger has a contract with the producer to sell at a set price for a period of time.

    I bought a couple dozen eggs before the price shot up. I call them my strategic reserve.

    the chickens were trying to put the fix in for Biden..see that big drop right before the election, damn hens had doubled production and now they're holding out. that's what happens when you have all hens and no roosters, they all went to the other team and are now determined to interrupt our family breakfasts. either they start putting out or we're putting tariffs on their feedstock and they will pay us for their eggs.

    did I do that right?

    Egg prices are shattering records and right wing drones are finding more deals now than they did when prices were half under Biden. What a bizarre group of drones.

    I have a vague memory of a depression era town where no one could afford to pay the doctor. So the man charged two eggs a visit. I think that became the name of the town. I think it was near the muck farms in the Everglades.

    Are you sure it wasn't Jameis? After his stent with the Browns, he's probably homeless.

    Wrong swamp. It’s the one by the Georgia border. Also the story about the doctor is wrong. So much for memories

    Killing off/quarantining chickens? So when does the price of chicken escalate? There are 5-10 different chicken fast food places near me (not that I go to any of them).

    The life cycle of a chicken that is processed for sale to fast food or grocery stores is 35-42 days. It takes a year and a half to get a hen mature enough to lay eggs.
