I'm seeing regular plain old caged non-organic basic 1 dozen eggs at $6.99 in the DMV. In fact, the cage-free organic eggs by specialty farms is $5.99. Basic egg prices are up past the fancy egg prices. There is a sign in our supermarket that states the bird flu is causing it.
What are egg prices like in your area?
Why hasn't Trump lowered those prices yet?
It has been a week. You never asked that question once in the 4 years that Biden was president as prices continued to rise. Patience little retard.Quote:

Biden saw food prices increase by over 20% in 4 years and did absolutely nothing to lower prices.
Dipshit Back "Trump hasn't even been in office a week! Why didn't he already undo 4 years of Biden's disaster?!"
Never change, Back.

Millions of baby chickens are hatched every day, problem is, they aren't the good egg laying chickens, they are Cornish Cross chickens for making meat in 58 days. While they may lay eggs, they aren't well suited for it and by the time they get to egg laying age, they are likely incapable of walking from a nesting box to a feed trough or dead from a health problem since they grow so fast.Quote:

I'll tell you why... Do you think Elon and Trump and those guys can't get any eggs? Do you think they can't afford those eggs? No of course they can. The price of eggs affects people in middle and lower incomes. That's why they don't give a f***, brother!
Sure they do. Grow more chickens to lay more eggs. But that takes time. Seriously, you ARE a grown ass adult right? Why is it Democrats such as yourself need the very basics of everything explained to you in detail?Quote:

Fewer eggs = higher prices. It takes time to raise chickens to get them to be good egg laying chickens.
Tell you what, Back, if AFTER the bird flu has passed (which might take days, weeks, or even months) and a year afterwards egg prices is still absurdly high, THEN you might have a point. Until then you're just a fucking idiot who sees nothing wrong with food prices skyrocketing under a Democrat, but you expect food prices to magically drop in less than a week after a Republican is sworn in.
It's not global and prices vary from state to state, country to country. If they really wanted to do something about it they would.
But it's not affecting the rich. It's affecting middle to lower class so they won't do s*** about it. Or the price of groceries in general. They lied to get the votes.
Hey how about that. Almost as if in areas where there has been an outbreak of bird flu the farmers have had to cull (you do know "cull" means "kill" right?) their chickens to prevent the spread of bird flu, which would affect the local prices of eggs, and in areas where there hasn't been an outbreak of bird flu they haven't had to cull chickens so egg prices haven't changed much.Quote:

The generic store brands are upwards of $7.50 for a dozen.
The name brands and free ranged egg prices are between $4-5 a dozen, prices they have been for the past 12+ months. Why are the "cheap" eggs now 67% more expensive than what used to be the expensive eggs?
It's due to JIT inventory management, long term contracts and what's called "Loss Leaders." Lots of store brands try to buy only as much as they need and don't keep much stock in the supply line so they can adjust prices and keep profitable on a narrower margin. So, their prices adjust faster. Large store chains contract for ridiculous amounts of goods over years and lock in prices with slower price variation. Also, lots of stores and brands price things as "Loss Leaders". This means, they sell something at below cost in order to keep you buying their brand or coming into their store. Sam's and Costco are champions in this with their rotisserie chickens and hotdog meals. They lose money on each sale of those but those items keep you coming into the store and keep you happy so they make more money over all.Quote:

100,000 eggs stolen from truck as prices surge nationwide, police say
Feb. 5, 2025 at 1:15 pm
By Natalie Demaree
McClatchy News
Thousands of eggs were stolen from a truck in Pennsylvania, police said. The theft comes as egg prices continue to increase to record-high levels.
Pennsylvania State Police responded to the theft report just after 8:30 p.m. Feb. 1 in Chambersburg, according to a report.
Approximately 100,000 eggs — worth about $40,000 in retail value — were taken from the back of a Pete & Gerry’s distribution trailer, police said.

Even as egg production recovered in 2023, prices did not come down. Between April and December 2023, national retail inventories of eggs each month exceeded the five-year average by as much as almost 13%. Yet the average egg price for consumers was higher than the five-year average each month.
In one case, the country’s largest egg producer, Cal-Maine, boasted a sevenfold increase in gross profits in fiscal year 2023 compared with 2021, after increasing prices above rising costs – and despite its flocks not being affected by avian flu during that period.
Cal-Maine, which produces one in every five eggs eaten in the US, issued shareholder dividends totaling $250m in fiscal year 2023 – 40 times more than the previous fiscal year. The Mississippi-based company sold 7% more eggs in 2024 compared with 2021 and tripled its profits over the same period, according to company filings.
So you're saying Biden did nothing about this obvious price gouging while he was president? What a failure!Quote:
Originally Posted by Back
Also whoever wrote that obviously doesn't understand even the very basics of economics: supply and demand. Just because Cal-Maine wasn't affected by the avian flu doesn't mean anything, they are going to sell their eggs for more money because the demand is there and the supply is lower because OTHER farms had to kill hundreds of millions of chickens because the government made them. Companies don't sell their products for less money just because they themselves don't have a supply issue, they sell their product for more because the market as a whole has a supply issue.
And lastly, talk about spinning a narrative based on selective facts. National retail inventories in 2023 exceeded the five-year average by 13%? Why the hell is he talking about the five year average instead of comparing egg inventories in 2023 to egg inventories before the government made farms kill hundreds of millions of chickens?
Look how easy this bit of information can mislead you.
2019: 100 million eggs in inventory
2020: 100 million
2021: 30 million
2022: 20 million
2023: 70 million
5 year average: 64 million
ZOMG! Egg inventories in 2023 were almost 10% higher than the five-year average, despite the fact that egg inventories in 2023 are still lower than they were in 2020.
Those aren't the real numbers, I just made them up to prove a point. Fake news articles are fake news. Maybe egg companies are ripping off consumers because they see no reason to lower prices since people are willing to pay these higher prices, but bullshit articles like this don't help the situation.
Thank God it’s not soy because you would be fucked.Quote:

DOJ investigating major egg producers amid soaring prices: Sources
Quote:
WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department is in the early stages of investigating the major egg producers over soaring egg prices, source familiar with the matter told ABC News
Quote:
Department investigators are looking into whether the major egg companies are sharing information about supply and pricing, possibly contributing to price increases, the sources said. Egg producers, including the industry's trade association, have said the soaring prices are due to the avian flu.
The investigation is being run out of the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department and won't necessarily lead to any legal action.
Quote:
Farm Action, a farm advocacy organization that has publicly called on officials to open an antitrust case, said in a statement on Friday citing sources at DOJ that the agency had started an investigation.
Quote:
"We applaud the Department of Justice's action to address the skyrocketing price of eggs," it said. "Every American has felt the financial pain caused by the power of the monopolistic egg industry.
"While avian flu is real, it is no excuse for the price being charged at the grocery store for one of the country's staples," it added. "While Farm Action's analysis demonstrates likely antitrust abuses by the dominant egg-producing corporations, the DOJ has the legal authority to take the deep dive into the industry that is required to get to the bottom of this abuse, and they have the power to bring justice on behalf of the American people."
Good on them. Hopefully something comes of it.

Abstract
We investigate the possible laboratory origins of the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b genotype B3.13, currently affecting various animal species and causing sporadic human infections. The proximal origins may be the USDA Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory (SEPRL) in Athens, Georgia, and the Erasmus medical center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Almost like if you create something and then force people to cull their entire stock of chickens the prices of eggs will go up. Instead of doing what farmers have done throughout history and letting the disease run its course and then breed the survivors who have stronger natural immunity.
This must just be a blue state thing. I have not had a single issue getting my usual organic free-range 2 dozen eggs at Costco. Always there, every time. Sure, the price spiked to $9.99 in January, but paid $8.49 last week. It was $6.99 before all this drama.
Just another symptom of blue state fear-mongering. Remember the toilet paper thing?
Yeah there has been no shortage of eggs in my local area too. The price has for sure gone up, it was $4.50/dozen a week ago, but there were plenty of eggs for everyone to buy.Quote:

KRISTEN WELKER:
All right. You take me right to my next question. I want to play you something that President Trump said to me back in December. Take a listen.
[BEGIN TAPE]
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP:
I won on groceries. It's a very simple word: groceries. Like, almost, you know, who uses the word? I started using the word, “the groceries.” When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they were double and triple the price over a short period of time. And I won an election based on that. We're going to bring those prices way down.
[END TAPE]
KRISTEN WELKER:
Mr. Secretary, can you be specific? When exactly can Americans expect to see those prices come “way down?”
SEC. HOWARD LUTNICK:
Egg prices up 200% under Biden. Biden just killing chickens, trying to worry about things. It's crazy the way eggs have gone up 200%. Donald Trump's going to bring the price of eggs down now. Donald Trump's tariffs are – here's the idea. All these other countries, like India for instance, when Modi was in town, right? 1.4 billion people and they won't buy a bushel of our corn.
KRISTEN WELKER:
But–
SEC. HOWARD LUTNICK:
Europe, always blocking our farmers. As our farmers can sell more and more overseas–
KRISTEN WELKER:
But–
SEC. HOWARD LUTNICK:
– you're going to see the price of food in America–
KRISTEN WELKER:
When?
SEC. HOWARD LUTNICK:
– come down. It's a volume thing.
KRISTEN WELKER:
When, Mr. Secretary?
SEC. HOWARD LUTNICK:
Well, I think the deal starts –
KRISTEN WELKER:
Months?
SEC. HOWARD LUTNICK:
–the deal starts April 2nd. The deal starts April 2nd of reciprocal tariffs. The president is going to negotiate country-by-country. He's going to drive down other countries' barriers, unleashing our farmers, our ranchers and our fishermen. They're going to explode in value and the prices of American produce, road crops, produce and fish are going to come down because our American industries are going to win around the world because finally, finally Donald Trump is behind them, protecting them. He's got their back and he's going to make them winners. And then all of America's going to be winners because these prices are coming down. And the process–
KRISTEN WELKER:
Alright.
SEC. HOWARD LUTNICK:
–starts April 2nd.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Alright, Mr. Secretary, consumer sentiment is dropping, inflation has ticked up, major banks like J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs now say a recession in the next 12-months is becoming more likely. Should Americans brace for a recession?
SEC. HOWARD LUTNICK:
Absolutely not. Anybody who bets against Donald Trump. It's like the same people who thought Donald Trump wasn't a winner a year ago. Donald Trump is a winner. He's going to win for the American people. That's just the way it's going to be. There's going to be no recession in America. What there's going to be is global tariffs are going to come down because President Trump has said, “You want to charge us 100%? We're going to charge you 100%.” You know what they say? They say, “No, no, no, no, no, don't charge us 100%. We'll bring ours down.” We'll unleash America out to the world. Grow our economy in a way we've never grown before. You are going to see over the next two years the greatest set of growth coming from America as Americans. You saw it, 1.3 trillion of new investment coming into America that – think of all those jobs, and remember, each trillion of investment in America is 1% of growth GDP. So, Donald Trump is bringing growth to America. I would never bet on recession. No chance.

USDA Invests Up To $1 Billion to Combat Avian Flu and Reduce Egg Prices
Found this last night when I was looking at the issue again. Good for USDA under this administration. Looks like they are going to implement some ideas I had early in this thread.Quote:
USDA’s Five-Pronged Approach to Address Avian FluInvest in Gold-Standard Biosecurity Measures for all U.S. Poultry Producers
- USDA will expand its highly successful Wildlife Biosecurity Assessments to producers across the nation, beginning with egg-layer facilities, to safeguard farms from the cause of 83% of HPAI cases: transmission from wild birds. These additional safety measures have proven to minimize flu cases; the approximately 150 facilities that follow these protocols have had only one outbreak.
- Biosecurity audits will be expanded. Free biosecurity audits will continue for all HPAI-affected farms. Shortcomings for HPAI-affected farms must be addressed to remain eligible for indemnification for future infections within this outbreak. Biosecurity audits will be encouraged and made available to surrounding, non-affected farms.
- USDA will deploy 20 trained epidemiologists as part of its increased biosecurity audits and Wildlife Biosecurity Assessments to provide actionable and timely advice to producers on how to reduce HPAI risk at their facilities. These experts will help improve current biosecurity measures to focus on protecting against spread through wild birds in addition to lateral spread.
- USDA will share up to 75% of the costs to fix the highest risk biosecurity concerns identified by the assessments and audits, with a total available investment of up to $500 million.
Increase Relief to Aid Farmers and Accelerate Repopulation
- APHIS will continue to indemnify producers whose flocks must be depopulated to control the further spread of HPAI.
- New programs are being explored to aid farmers to accelerate the rate of repopulation, including ways to simplify the approval process to speed recovery.
- Up to $400 million will be available to support these costs for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Remove Unnecessary Regulatory Burdens on the Chicken and Egg Industry to Further Innovation and Reduce Consumer Prices
- USDA is working alongside our partners at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to examine strategies to safely expand supply in the commercial market for eggs.
- USDA will minimize burdens on individual farmers and consumers who harvest homegrown eggs.
- USDA will work with farmers and scientists to develop innovative strategies to limit the extent of depopulations in HPAI outbreaks.
- USDA will educate consumers and Congress on the need to fix the problem of geographical price differences for eggs, such as in California, where recent regulatory burdens, in addition to avian flu, have resulted in the price of eggs being 60% higher than other regions of the country.
Explore Pathways toward Vaccines, Therapeutics, and Other Strategies for Protecting Egg Laying Chickens to Reduce Instances of Depopulation
- USDA will be hyper-focused on a targeted and thoughtful strategy for potential new generation vaccines, therapeutics, and other innovative solutions to minimize depopulation of egg laying chickens along with increased bio-surveillance and other innovative solutions targeted at egg laying chickens in and around outbreaks. Up to a $100 million investment will be available for innovation in this area.
- Importantly, USDA will work with trading partners to limit impacts to export trade markets from potential vaccination. Additionally, USDA will work alongside the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to ensure the public health and safety of any such approaches include considerations of tradeoffs between public health and infectious disease strategy.
- USDA will solicit public input on solutions, and will involve Governors, State Departments of Agriculture, state veterinarians, and poultry and dairy farmers on vaccine and therapeutics strategy, logistics, and surveillance. USDA will immediately begin holding biweekly discussions on this and will also brief the public on its progress biweekly until further notice.
Consider Temporary Import-Export Options to Reduce Costs on Consumers and Evaluate International Best Practices
- USDA will explore options for temporarily increasing egg imports and decreasing exports, if applicable, to supplement the domestic supply, subject to safety reviews.
- USDA will evaluate international best practices in egg production and safety to determine any opportunities to increase domestic supply.
Ultimately the American taxpayer pays for it. Taking money out of taxes that we already paid does not hurt as much as taking more money at the point of sale but someone better watch the egg producers to avoid any fraud going on.
Given recent history you will have to forgive me for having a healthy dose of skepticism on their "science".Quote:

You literally asked why someone would be skeptical of the "expert" community. I pointed out the very real fact (very recent history at that, we're not talking 50+ years ago) that the so called "experts" told everyone they had to stay home and lose their jobs and education and home, but then turned around and said ignore all of that you can go out and do whatever you want as long as you're rioting or protesting for racial justice.
There is no defense to this. None. Don't give me this dumb shit of "Well they didn't know any better! It was a scary time!" Blah blah fucking blah blah blah! You don't create two sets of rules for people. You don't tell one group of people they have to stay 6 feet away from everyone or else they are going to kill someone's grandma then turn around and tell another group of people it's perfectly okay for them to congregate by the thousands.
There were not two sets of rules. That is a political construct.Quote:

How about the business owners that defied the rules and opened up their business because they had no income with it closed and they got arrested?Quote:

Then you had all those people out protesting in giant groups and no one got arrested for being part of that group that defied social distancing, entering businesses without following social mandates, not wearing masks....there were no mass arrests for these people breaking the same rules. Don't confuse the arrests that were made against those that were breaking laws while rioting - these were arrests for arson, bodily harm (fighting and such), theft, damage to property, felony weapon possession and so on.
You really are that fucking stupid to think that nothing happened to those that didn't follow the "rules". Fucking twat.
The fuck there weren't. They were literally arresting people for attending church OUTSIDE. People had police sent to their homes to warn the parents not to let their children outside to play with other children with threat of arrest if it happened again. Meanwhile rioters and protesters were given a free pass. The fuck you talking about? Again this isn't ancient history, we're talking less than 5 years ago.Quote:

I actually liked it better when you were just a big clown saying "Sure this happened! So what?" Now you're just like the Serans and Clyders of the world. Make me laugh again, clown.

There is no third option. You're either just too stupid to live (figuratively, before you get all butthurt and emotional), or you're just the bottom of the barrel lowest form of absolute scumbag.
The best part is how you so arrogantly pat yourself on the back after gaslighting yourself into thinking that you're a good person.
Fun fact: You're not. Whether it's due to malice or extreme stupidity, I'm not sure which. But it's 100% one of those two things.
Eat a dick.
Loser.
From what I can find there were few cases of arrests involving not masking or not social distancing but they were tied to other violations such as trespassing, disturbing the peace, and resisting arrest. Those are the exceptions and not the rule.
None of the January 6th insurrectionists were arrested for not wearing a mask or not social distancing. Remember the pandemic was in full swing during the early winter months of 2021.
I think all the media sources that spread bullshit have seriously distorted some people's views on what actually happened.
Seriously, how hard did you look? I found this article from CNN (your favorite "news" outlet) with less than 20 seconds of looking.Quote:

Good people were making decisions during a very stressful time doing what they thought was best for public safety. Thats all it was. Unfortunately there are people on the internet who want to stir up shit by flooding social media with lies and misinformation for nefarious purposes because it sure ain't helping anyone who's not running for office. Its a shame too because good people have been and still are being hurt by all the anonymous BS.
My point being that it was not some big Democratic Party conspiracy.
Trump left that all up to the states and local governments. There were no federal mandates.Quote:

We can talk about their effectiveness when people did not want to wear them. We can talk about if the government can compel people to wear a masks in that situation or not. But the bottom line is is that a face covering will help prevent the airborne spread of any virus. Social distancing also will prevent people contracting a virus.
Again at the time no one knew what we were dealing with so everyone was overly cautious. I remember wearing gloves in the first few weeks of that whatever I went outside in case it was transmitted that way. Better to be safe than sorry.
That “better safe than sorry” attitude is how we the public allowed all the most damaging & ineffective mandates to happen. When we forced young kindergarten aged children to wear masks all day in the classroom, many didn’t consider the negative effects that has on early childhood education because public safety was the only paramount concern. We didn’t weigh the damage of distance learning and shutting down schools. We didn’t consider the damage social distancing had on people’s mental health. Everyone knew masks were ineffective at preventing the spread of this disease, but it became a tool of virtue signaling for idiots such as yourself.Quote:

You got to do what you are most comfortable doing, sheltering in place & avoiding human contact.
For most people though, the pandemic was a miserable experience that taught us to never again allow those so called “experts” to have ultimate power over our daily lives. Fuck your “better safe than sorry” attitude. I choose dangerous freedom over safe tyranny.

In reality, I don't give a fuck about sparrows, I just don't like baseball because I'm a football fan.
Masks and social distancing reduce the spread of airborne illness. Its a fact. Washing hands helps too. You will never disprove that. You might find a crazy person with credentials to say it does not but I'm sorry to say it but they are ignorant. Without a doubt there will be someone out there who will misinterpret some data to say masks don't help but I hate to say they are either trying to stir the pot to sow division, are just doing it to watch the world burn, or are also completely ignorant.
Everything we did saved lives. We can't quantify how many exactly but we have some data that supports it. Research suggests that counties with higher Republican voter share experienced higher excess mortality rates compared to Democratic-leaning counties, especially after vaccines became widely available.
Knowing all this suggests to me that while you say you care you really don't give a fuck and all the anti mask/vax bullshit killed more of your own party members than you want to admit. So how about you learn what words mean, stop listening to bullshit, and shove your virtue signaling up your ass. I'm not your enemy bro. The people spreading misinformation meant to divide us are.
I did not vote for him but he did win the election so in that sense he is all of our president. I've never said otherwise.Quote:

The pandemic is over. Believe what you want. Tell yourself that public mask mandates, the shutdown of schools and businesses, the social distancing, and all the rest saved lives & was worth the harm that it caused. Ignore the science that we have a generation with an educational gap, that people couldn’t see their elderly loved ones who died alone during that time, that many small successful businesses permanently closed their doors, that we mandated health decisions on people under threat of losing their jobs, that mental health diagnosis skyrocketed because human beings were not meant to be isolated in that way.
