Should have gotten the small caged eggs.

Can't. Eggs have to be cage free in CO since January 1st. The law passed 2 years ago, so of course egg companies are acting like they couldn't possibly have prepared for it to take effect. The plus side (for me and like 5 other people) is that this makes the vegan egg alternative seem WAY more reasonably priced these days.

Its such a too-little too-late maneuver. If closed coops hadn't been these giant petri dishes for disease over the last thirty years, maybe we wouldn't have mutated a strain of H5N1 that was so virulent. Now we're switching to free range just in time for our sickened flocks to infect the wild migratory fowl that pass through.

Only thing to do is... checks latest EO... defund all public health and safety measures against infection and transmission.

I can buy an 18 pack of those exact same eggs here in Central Wyoming for 8.87. That's right, I get 6 more of the exact same eggs for $2 less.

Denver is stupid.

Yes, but then you have to live in central Wyoming, which is a trade off that's only worth it for some people

And you have to brag about it on the internet because no one else lives in central Wyoming.
