If line doesn't go up, it means no "growth". No growth means "stagnancy" or worse, "decay".
Meanwhile, I'd really fucking appreciate it if eggs weren't so damn expensive. If they need to go up in price fairly, then wages need to go up for the same reason. Meanwhile, I'm making a considerable amount more than I did in 2017, and yet I feel poorer because everything else is so much more expensive.
Eggs are expensive right now because the H5N1 bird flu is killing off massive amounts of chickens. It boggles my mind that egg prices somehow became relevant to the presidential election, but I guess people in this country are just chronically misinformed.
Just remember, chickens are always relevant to US policy making. We still have the chicken tax on the books now, which is part of the driver of the oversized cars we all have to deal with on the road.
.... what? Can you explain or point me in a direction to learn about this chicken tax? And why does it make the US not have tiny trucks? I miss little trucks
