Wow he’s really bringing down the cost of living. Donald Trump made insulin go from $35 to $600. We told you so.

I don't think yet - the Insulin Prices were built into the Inflation Reduction Act which came from congress. This executive action doesn't touch that yet.

Hopefully, it never does. But his executive action sure threatens it.

The good news is executive actions are easier to challenge in court. He cant run the gov by executive order the whole time.

Just an update - bird flu just hit Pittsburgh. Ten days ago I posted that eggs were under $3 here. Went to same store last night, $4.59 for medium, $6.59 for large. Same farm I bought from last time.

I haven’t heard anything about a flu here in Florida but this was the price of eggs in the Publix yesterday. The shelves were empty last week and after they were restocked, the price shot up

Felon47 has halted external communication on the Bird Flu pretty much anything negative that may affect public health.

Which will magically result in this affecting public health lmfao. You really couldnt write this stuff if you tried.

Gateway eggs. Two weeks ago, folks were hoarding eggs at Costco. Last week, it was one pack per customer if they had them. Give it another week—egg dealers.

I paid $2.12 at Aldi for a dozen eggs in November. They cost nearly 150% higher ($5.03) last week.

I think you know why egg prices are high…BIden and DEI…duh.

How many eggs do people eat anyway? Going from $3 to $7 is quite a jump but it's still only $4 dollars. Unless your eating 6 dozen eggs a week, I fail to see the hardship here?

Well, apparently trump voters did.

His supporters are already justifying it by saying they dealt with 4 years of Biden inflation so the price increase "is just temporary"

I don't know how you hire anyone that aggressively divorced from reality.

Spoken like a 1%er who doesn't do baked goods.

The price of eggs affects every place that serves breakfast, every bakery, most restaurants, and sales of egg-complimentary foods like bacon and sausage.

For people who work in these places, and for those who live paycheck to paycheck, it's kind of a big deal.

The meme was humorous at first, but if the price of eggs doesn't come down soon, we're all gonna feel it.

Eggs are only a microcosm. You are failing to see the hardship when any commodity increases in cost by 133%, yet John Q. Public on a budget takes in the same amount of income...and that's only if they are able to keep their job in the first place.

A UConn Football ticket costs $25 to sit at the top of the lower bowl on the 35 yard line. Good deal right? Two hours later, that same ticket for the same view and same experience cost $58.25, with little notice and for no other reason than the school is greedy.

Of course it doesn't end there. The beer that cost $12 last game is now $22 and the $9 chicken strip and French fry bowl is now $25. Some in the fanbase may personally may have the disposable income to absorb the extra cost. Most either do not or will reduce the priority of the experience.

But hey your bigoted neighbors got what they want. Small price to pay to ensure schools aren’t doing bottom surgeries on kids without consent.

Then why aren't people talking about the price of bread? That's a much more common consumer purchase than eggs?

The one thing we need to lose from the public discourse is this myth that working people can't afford anything. It was dumb when the left harped on it and it's even dumber now that the right is harping on it, especially since they want nothing to do with the actual solutions.

Anyone with time to post on the internet shouldn't be whining about eggs. Whine about wage stagnation, while about income inequality, whine about access to education and Healthcare, while about working your entire life and not having retirement security, while about the oligarchs now removing the few social safety nets simply because it makes them feel powerful. Whine about useless tariffs.

Stop whining about freaking eggs. Same goes for gas under $4/gallon. It's not going to get you anything. Eggs cost more because there have been fewer eggs to go around for a few years now mostly because they spent decades gutting the FDA.

I can't imagine a worse economic statement than the price of eggs being tied to the price of bacon. They are two individually traded commodities. It's no different that saying the price of eggs is tied to the price of bitcoin.

Go rewatch Trading Places. Even Trump has given up on lowering eggs prices. To bad the one thing he could do is remove tariffs on imported eggs, except we can't import eggs because our eggs are different than everyone else's eggs. They wouldn't pass USDA inspection and if they did, American probably wouldn't eat them.

Where have you been for the past 8+ months? Democrat Voters and Independents with a brain (i.e. Never-T___pers are NOT the ones whining. We are MOCKING conservatives who have been harping on eggs throughout the campaign. It's not about the eggs. Don't lose the forest for the trees.

Felon47 has given up on had no intention to even look into lowering egg prices because the issue has run its course in their favor. Conservatives are now saying that paying extra for groceries is Patriotic.

If you're not selling eggs, you're selling a lot less bacon. Demand drops. And what happens when demand drops?
