Any day now President Musk will straighten out this supply side shortage. It’s what he does best..

And any day Dems will tell all the illegals to start packing eggs across the border

When I was of HS age in Western Wisconsin a broiler operation typically had 44,000 birds and those were the small ones. One time a building with 100,000 nearly mature birds caught fire.

I can afford eggs even at $2 apiece, but I can live without them. For those waiting in line what a shameful waste of gasoline.

He gonna start layin em?

. . . Trump seems to be laying eggs regularly since being inaugurated.

I sum it up
Biden didn’t care about US, just wanted to protect his and hunters pockets

Trump cares about US as you see from his recent actions
Good for him and us
What he is doing now should be supported by all of us

“Hunting is a horror show!”

I wonder who said that??

Hint.

A deranged coward who refused to serve his country!

Let them eat cake (or duck eggs)...

Musk making Trump lay eggs!

Soon they will begin to hatch!


How appropriate!

Cadet Bone Spur!


CHICKEN CHICKEN CHICKEN!

No shortage of eggs for me. In fact I hard boiled several turkey eggs and ran them through when I cold smoked a bunch of cheeses. Boy does than make some great egg salad!

If you want the egg supply and prices to go down you need to get the USDA to stop killing all the chickens. In the mean time, find a local farmer and buy from them. They will have much better quality than battery hens kept confined, tortured in overcrowded cages breathing ammonia fumes day in and day out with the lowest quality feed possible.

Until it affects you in a negative way. I expect that there a lot of folks here who likely won't be affected financially by any of his policies.

Maybe. That's hard to figure.

I might be able to name some examples where we are all affected more or less.

If the Fed Govt isn't spending as much, significantly, that has to have effect on the economy, jobs, govt and civil.

But, I have no doubt that the scheme is centered on the concept of zero-sum. It's a continuation of what's been happening for a long time, only accelerated. It's the migration of (more) wealth upward, rather than shared or available broad scale by/for many.

I can't imagine anyone supporting trump policies that would affect their bottom line negatively. Then again they are probably well off enough so that it may not matter.

Unless you are a billionaire or a fairly large corporation Trump policies will negatively affect your bottom line and standard of living, the lower you are on the economic ladder the more immediately you will feel it and the greater the impact, but like kudzu it will spread everywhere. His tax policy will raise taxes on everybody not well up into millionaire status, he just added 25% to the price of everything made with imported aluminum or steel, just for the hell of it, these cuts to government services across the board will reduce services at National Parks and increase the number of homeless, increase the spread and severity of diseases while cutting health care, place a tax on academic and athletic scholarships while drastically cutting research and his helter-skelter economic "policies" have made the markets very volatile and could crash them.

Counting the one today in Scottsdale how many air crashes have already happened under Trump? You think a hiring freeze and buyout offer for controllers might have an effect?

Do you have a field guide to help us sort out the impacts of the second largest inflation in over 100 years AND 408 weeks of the biden admin

Vs
3 weeks of Trump's admin


Just want to make sure we give credit where credit is due

Just a couple months ago the price of eggs was the only economic indicator MAGAts talked about, so use that.

M2 money supply increased 27% 2020-2021, during a period when GDP decreased.

That was a Trump administration. I do not expect this one to be much different in character.
Not to excuse the Biden spending, but let's be accurate about the sources of inflation.

I hope to stand clear of Trump's worst excesses.

The rich will be just fine.

Trump can't solve a supply shortage for eggs, but you can. Stop eating them. they are bad for you anyway.

You mean Trump lied.

You mean Trump’s tariffs are going to create supply side shortages for necessary, consumer goods like steel and lumber?

Egg prices were not caused by inflation as Jeff implies.

Wonder if this works on bird flu? Save the Chickens. Make Eggs Affordable Again.

“We tested bleach. I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes. A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, so, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.”

Uhm, tariffs create cost constraints, when they go up.. there is PLENTY of supply, that's the point. You don't meaningfully put tariffs on rare low volume products.


So, let's get to brass tacks, something that everyone can relate to.. the cost of a soda/coke/beer can

There 14g (0.03 pounds) of aluminum in a can. The market price for cans is 55cent per pound, or about 1.65 CENTS per can ... 0.41 cents per can increase on a 25% tariff... i am pretty certain no one will notice less than half a cent increase in the cost of a beverage

And, just for fun, no, I won't notice if a can of Lone star goes up half a cent, considering there's already 19cents tax on the beer

Why did I pick beverages? Because it's of the most common people touching product example to bring it home

No, cars won't jump 25% in cost... the scapper MIGHT pay 500 bucks for a whole car, based on metals....

Except that the producers will probably raise the price of beverages 5 cents a can and not .14 cents or whatever. Doesn't matter to me since I don't buy beverages in a can.

Except for being out of Eggland's Best brand there were lots of eggs at a local WalMart last night. $8 for a dozen and a half. Actually way more in the cooler than there would normally be that time of the day.
