yeah…
I’m so fucking sick of hearing about egg prices. It’s the least important thing happening in this dumpster fire of a country right now. I still eat eggs everyday by the way. It costs like $2 more each week. Oh no.
If you really think about it a ton of things are way too cheap so in a lot of scenarios it’s way cheaper to buy something new compared to repairing something old.
Think of a nail for example, from digging up some rocks that contain a bit more iron than other rocks, process them through many stages many of us (including me) have no idea, just to ship them around the planet. But if you have a bent or really messed up nail, everybody would just throw that refined material away because it’s cheaper than a cent.
One could argue that Capitalism doesn’t have this problem and that the current USA is much closer to how the USSR and China opetate.
Canada has eggs. EU countries have eggs.
10 eggs in my EU country is from 2,5 to 3,5€, depending of the way they keep the chickens.
You can get 15 at ~2,55€ where I live
Well in the USA they were about over $2/dozen in previous years and rose to an all time high of over $8/dozen a little while ago, so the 2.5 to 3.5 seems a bit inconsequential.
We had so many eggs this week the dogs got one as a treat lol.
One could also argue that the USDA killed like 12 million chickens under Biden.
Clearly not enough. Bird Flu kills 90% of infected birds, if culls and management had been more efficient then it wouldn’t have spread as much as it has.
I believe even as far as January over 134 Million poultry in the USA had perished and another 111 Million birds between February and March.
Canada, despite sharing borders and markets, has seen much lower casualty rates because their farms are smaller, about 25k birds average compared to US farms as large as 1 Million birds.
Whatevers going on in the USA is because of lack of government intervention, and it absolutely will continue to get worse under Trump.
Luckily there have been no new major outbreaks in March, leading to a decline in price, for now.
“I didn’t even want those eggs in the first place and besides, they’re probably sour.”
Yeah war on eggs!! You’re a traitor if you eat eggs!!!
The amount of manufactured consent is too damn high!
Yep eggs are cheap because chickens shit them out profusely. It only takes a small flock of 4+ birds to make more than a family needs. I know several people with backyard coops and pens who have more eggs than they need, giving them away.
Protein replacement for poor people who could not afford meat. I don’t know what to recommend now. No one wants to live on beans, that’s misery personified.
What’s wrong with beans and lentils?
They’re disgusting, not a source of all amino acids and give you diarrhea. Fuck em!
Lentils are the way: it’s cheap and pretty tasty as a stew or a curry !
Im sorry but lentils taste like dirt.
I just posted this link on another comment but the content validates me being considered a spammer imho
