      Goddamn this Biden economy! Poor little d was handed such a TERRIBLE economy.

      Every Republican says so and they would never lie. So do the maximalist leftists and the enlightened centrists, so it must be true. I’m sure the economy would have been even worse under Kamala. Thank Athena that little d and fElon are working to fix the terrible economy that Biden left them…

    Hm. Maybe I should buy Trump and Musk “We did that.” stickers, and add them to price tags while shopping? After all, they shut down the agencies meant to control bird flu, meat inspection, and so many other things…

    It’s so incredible that everything was bidens fault day one of his presidency, but with Trump it’s the fault of the previous administration, and no body brings up this double standard at all. What a double standard.

    Also, we all know that Trump can’t lower the price of eggs himself, just like biden couldn’t lower gas prices by himself. The fact that Trump and his ilk RAN on lowering grocery prices, especially eggs, is why we’re still talking about it and why a lot of Americans are upset. Now the right are calling us idiots and whiners for still talking about eggs while they are still going up, while the last 4 years nobody on that side could shut up about gas prices.

    They put those ‘biden did this’ stickers on pumps until the final moments of his administration, I say we do the same to eggs.

    “I will immediately bring prices down starting on Day 1,” he said on Aug. 15, for example. “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down,” he promised later that same month.

    He backed away from that last month.

    This is what Murca needs. More lies and long cons. Murca was lied to, and Krasnov only needed 1/3 of them to fall for it.

    The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault

    To be fair - that is true. It’s not like he infected all the birds.

    However, if you’re the president that just slapped a bunch of tariffs on neighboring countries … optics looking kinda bad ngl.

      He did fire a bunch of the people in public health who were trying to make policies to prevent the birds being infected.

      Just like how we have routine food recalls because he shuttered lots of food regulation during his first term. Wonder how much Boar’s Head has donated to the Republican Party….

      Not entirely true, as H5N1 isnt working to do this on its own. He’s made nondocumented workes feel unsafe so it’s hard for them to work. Specifically in the low wage work one finds on a farm, especially if the work is in a red state. Look at Kentucky, for example.

      I’m actually smart enough to understand this. But they blamed Biden for shit that he had no control over so I’m going to be spiteful and blame everything bad on Trump.

      This blame game goes two ways Republicans. See you at the midterms.

        “Gas is too high! Why doesn’t the President just pull the lever to make them not high?!”

        Biden releases strategic reserves to lower prices.

        “Ye-- Ye-- Well, the price of eggs is too fucking high. Pull that lever! I dare you!”

        Hm, we don’t have a strategic egg supply to make simple people happy. This will be a challenge…

        Trump claims he’ll lower it by getting elected. How? Who the fuck knows and no one cares.

        “Why aren’t the prices lower yet?!”

        Well, gosh, it couldn’t have to do with a complex system where there aren’t magic levers one just pulls to make things happen… Guess it’s Trump’s fault. What’s good for the goose (Biden) is good for the gander (Trump), after all.

      Eggs are 4x regular price. Chicken (meat) has barely moved. There’s no lack of stock, on a perishable product and the prices are incredibly high.

      Greed made that price.

      This is also going to start some knees to jerking, but he’s also technically correct that inflation specifically hasn’t been that bad, if you actually look at inflation rates it’s not particularly worse than what we’ve had in other decades, the 90’s which we associate with a bountiful economy had higher inflation rates for a longer period of time.

      What’s making all of this untenable is companies doing everything they can to avoid paying livable wages and most of all price gouging. Which they’re doing with eggs for good reason, but we also have to understand that anything that uses poultry is also going to take a hit, and then, like magic, a variety of other companies and services use these specific gouges as a justification to raise their own prices beyond inflation levels, even if they sell things that have never touched a chicken, like fucking mortgages and medical care.

      We used to have bureaus and departments to keep this kind of thing in check. You can argue their effectiveness but at least we had them.

        Just saw the Keebler Elf Mike Johnson say almost exactly that a short time ago. I mean, really, WTAF.

        Little d messes around with tariffs, the market reacts, and Mike Johnson the weird Keebler porn elf, is out there saying “we are seeing the effect of the last administration’s horrible economy” or some such nonsense…as if we cannot all see with our fucking eyes, the games that little d is playing and the effect it is having. I’m horrified that people actually fall for such obvious bullshit, especially after such a great economy was handed off to little d.

          People are falling for the lie because, the average Joe is being squeezed dry. The economy is only doing well for the already wealthy.

          Of course, the current economy was the result of the Biden Administration attempting to fix Trump’s first term. Along with the Trump administration’s complete mismanagement of COVID-19.

      The Democrats were not exactly wrong. But a lot of people twist it and act like they said it’s perfect, and perfect for everyone, which they did not say.

      We are about to find out how much worse it can actually get, and I guess the people that were saying “Bidenomics” was the worst thing ever and total tyranny, etc., are likely going to have to eat their words…

      I don’t often go to Fox News, but man under Fox Business and the stock market going down, people are actually upvoting very negative reactions to all of this. It was surprising to read. I thought somehow they were going to sugarcoat it, but they aren’t, and in most cases upvotes are far outnumbering the downvotes.

      All of the Facebook groups I’m in for keeping backyard chickens are infested with conspiracy loons. They think the bird flu isn’t real, and that the culls are a ploy to get us to eat fake meat.

      So we probably are going to have an outbreak - the same fuckers who refused to wear masks sure as hell aren’t going to safely handle sick chickens. Time to invest in ivermectin stock I guess.

      Sounds like a good way to spread avian flu, though I guess Fox News probably doesn’t care about that.

      Also there was an article I saw that ran the numbers, and it would take way too many chickens plus selling some of the eggs for that to break even for most families.

      High egg prices are doubleplusgood.

      In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.

    Imagine campaigning on ‘immediate relief’ and then reposting an article that screams ‘suck it up.’ Iconic failure. Missed opportunities to explore potential solutions or broader economic implications.
