    I know hardy har har such banter, but for real we also have unwashed eggs, and plenty of Americans have chicken’s, I currently have 80 in my backyard and am overflowing with eggs on my countertops.

    Your jokes will hit harder if they come from a place of reality and not only information gained from reddit and social media posts.

      There are Americans who own chickens and Americans who’ve never touched one. It’s a big country. This post applies mostly to city folk.

        The ones subsidizing the rest of the country. You think Cletus has health insurance while he cosplays as a farmer think his 600 dollar a month land tax is paying for his 4 kids in school? 9 out of 50 states pay federal taxes and those states all happen to have the biggest cities.

        But hey I get it. My parents were cosplay farmers as well. Here I am working like a schmuck for a living.

          My man, if people want to own a couple chickens it’s not that serious.

          The rural welfare states are really a separate issue from that.

          I do find it funny that conservative states are so anti-welfare when their existence depends on it though.

            I don’t get upset about people having a hobby, I encourage it. Just you know because you have fun doing something doesn’t mean the rest of us have to subsidize your hobby. I enjoy baking that doesn’t mean I get to quit my job and do it full time and depend on the government to pay me for it.

            Knew a lot of families like mine growing up. Want to get a real job? No? Ok go back to failing at potatoes, and spend all your free time hunting while drunk.

        I live in a major American city maybe 4 miles from downtown and I have a farm with fresh eggs and produce a block from my house.

      I think that’s a fair point. However in this case, as an American I personally know people here who are like this.

      A friend of mine will go to the store and buy more eggs because he refuses to eat the fresh eggs I keep on my counter.

      Edit: He also keeps an ice chest in his trunk to keep them in during the 20 minute drive from the store…

      What, a shitpost didn’t take every singe person who exists in America into consideration??!?!?!?? No way, that’s awful, I can’t believe OP would try and hurt you like that, wild they posted a public meme that didn’t apply to you personally

      Also I believe you by your use of “chicken’s”. I grew up rural and many did not know how to pluralize things.
