Meanwhile in Trudeau's socialist nightmare, where eggs are under ~~kolkhoz~~ supply management, I pay $5.25 USD... for 18 eggs.
Why does it feel like I'm reading articles about egg prices virtually every day. I don't get why anyone cares this much.
I guess it was because the price of eggs was practically a campaigning slogan shared a lot around trump supporters.
It's because eggs are one of the more universal food items. Their price sort of shows how well the economy is doing so it's a nice gauge on that sort of thing.
I switched everyone to oatmeal breakfasts and leftovers in flour tortilla. Haven't had complaints. I also have done mild( half a jalapeno for flavor) chilaquiles in a torta, or sub sandwich bread, for a savory breakfast.
I use avocado for creamyness and use whatever protein leftovers I have.
Thank goodness the Orange turd is right on this in the front lines of tossing paper towels at people!
Clearly the solution is to ban trans people from existing
And as a bonus for banning trans people, they think they'll go to heaven for being good little bigots for god.
USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers
No. No they didn't.
They fired people to try to free money for more tax breaks for the top 1% with zero concern if these people were needed or useful.
Close: they are enemies of the United States acting out of malice toward the goal of weakening the United States.
We are under attack.
They are enemies of the US, their goal is to weaken it, and we are under attack.
That said, they care about enriching themselves and their loyal buddies more than anything else.

Look at how insanely difficult, if not impossible, our job is at educating these morons on how they're being taken for a ride by conmen. The longer it goes on the more they'd have to admit they're wrong about, which makes it even less likely they'll realize it.
Being a useful idiot is really a sunk-cost fallacy on a life scale.
…even less likely…
Take it back take it back 😭
(An example of a recent morning mood: “Well we weren’t nuked last night!”)
Nuclear weapons? Nah I think it should have happened by now if it was going to. The government needs to selectively kill some of us, because if it killed all of us there would be no one left to enslave.
Tofu scramble is pretty good. Firm or extra firm tofu block, slice and crumble into a bowl. 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder, mix. Cook in a pan on medium stirring occasionally, will turn yellow as it heats up. Then add key ingredient black salt (kala namak, a salt with a strong sulfur flavor) to taste. Mix in with your pan fry mix of choice, I like onion/garlic/serrano/mushroom/smoked paprika/chili powder/spinach/tomato and green pepper/cilantro added at the end. Serve with fruit and toast.
Deep fried tofu with peanut sauce is like crack.
Can you buy egg futures? Because that's one heck of an APR!
Don't worry, shit is already priced in. Even if it goes up, you still won't make money.
We got chickens when facing an egg crisis here in NZ. Lovely little animals. It's been nice being able to look after and care for these creatures, knowing they are living the good life whilst consuming their eggs. Much more useful than my dumb dog.
There going to hit a dollar an egg some places in Seattle at this rate
$0.75 at the Fred Meyers already, it's already getting ridiculous.
If eggs were 6/dozen, and prices rose to 10/dozen... that's already a 40% increase.
so like....
yeah. I'd take that bet.
what even is math
you're right. it's actually a 66% increase. Still. point stands. it's a bet I'd win.
… except it’s not.
$6 * 1.40 = $8.40
So these monsters are screwing us on the price of eggs and the math on the price of eggs!
Uh...I don't think that's right. 40% of 6 is 2.4, so it'd be $8.40/dozen
Granted, I agree that $10 a dozen seems very possible at this point
I'm regularly seeing $12+
For me it's more in the 6-10 range, the cheapest store brand are 5 something. They're saying wholesale is averaging $8 at this point
Damn, and I thought seeing around $10 here was bad.
I remember buying a pack of 18 for $0.30 (pre-covid) and now the same pack cost $9-$10
Now the minimum wage will be measured in eggs
In other news, you can have hens in your back yard!
Look at this rich guy here that can afford a yard.
Guys, I think I figured it out, the Republicans expected the variables that stores the prices to roll over once they got beyond the max allowed value and reset back to minimum.
The devs seems to have patched that exploit however...
We need to switch to farming non-avian eggs.
Mammals ain't gonna stop eating dinosaur ovum any time soon.
I can’t afford that.
tbh at this rate, eggs are going to be more expensive than the substitutions
Sure you can.
You just don't want to because you're addicted and entitled to food you think is tasty.
Eating is entertainment for you, not survival.
Edit: And you'll get mad at anyone who calls it out :(
I don't want to just survive. I want to enjoy my life. If that's asking too much, get fucked.
So you're admitting I'm correct.
It's not about needs, it's about wants and entitlement.
And you’ll get mad at anyone who calls it out :(
The point you’re making is stupid and accomplishes nothing.
What's wrong with wanting to enjoy something?
The murder makes it taste better.
