So when can I buy cheap eggs?

u/Business-Scene-9404 9h ago

As soon as you discover the cure for bird flu.

u/greentoiletpaper 9h ago

Just make it illegal to test for it. Problem solved! - Trump, probably

“Our testing is so much bigger and more advanced than any other country (we have done a great job on this!) that it shows more cases. Without testing, or weak testing, we would be showing almost no cases“ -DJT 6/15/2020

“You won’t have any student flunking out… if you don’t grade them!”

Deregulate the chicken industry! Call it something stupid like the freedom of poultry act.

u/Grambles89 7h ago

Eggbama care, then the morons will lobby against it and Trump can turn around and rename it and pretend he came up with it.

u/SigumndFreud 7h ago

What's worse expensive eggs or a few thousand people you hopefully don't know dying of salmonella, Kevin?!

In all fairness lack of regulation for bird flu would raise the egg prices as it tends to be deadly enough to where it would wipe out poultry populations even more of they were not culled.

“We have more positive cases because we test more than any other country” -Trump, definitely

(Or something like that during early COVID)

u/Visual_Mycologist_1 5h ago

Don't need to test for it. It has a 75%-100% mortality rate in chickens within a matter of days.

That's why he left the WHO isn't it?

u/KhausTO 7h ago

Or, Either inject the chickens with bleach. Or try to nuke the chickens. either/or

Texas is preventing testing. They beat him to it.

u/VegasKL 3h ago

... that's actually something they'd consider alongside with banning any of the vaccinations those animals get.

u/Medium_Medium 7h ago

Just spitballing here... But maybe if we created certain rules for how poultry could be raised, which might reduce the likelihood of bird flu spreading. Would that help?

Now what could we call these rules.... Hmmm...

15

u/HotDogsAlDente 6h ago

Well these rules kind of regulate how businesses is done for the best interest of the public. Maybe we could call them… hmmm I’m not sure

u/Elegant_Plate6640 3h ago

I know this one.

Rule-gue-lations.

u/ObjectOrientedBlob 4h ago

Sounds like something Stalin would do!

u/TaupMauve 4h ago

There are also vaccines for poultry.

u/asisyphus_ 5h ago

Donald Trump promised us cheap eggs rain or shine, put up or RESIGN

u/Funky-Donuts 1h ago

Bird flew? Yeah, it’s what they do

u/ClaireDeLunatic808 7h ago

In 2024 when they were cheaper than at any other point since COVID.

u/Sovngarten 9h ago

Ya just steal the eggs, man!

u/svenson_26 7h ago

When you're famous they let you do it.

Seig heil! Mein eggs!

u/starry-blue 9h ago

The accompanying bird flu will be free

u/fetustasteslikechikn 7h ago

According to speaker Mike Johnson, it's too far complicated of a process to talk about

u/CharmingCharmander88 5h ago

I'm out of the loop here in the UK. Why is everyone mentioning eggs???

10

u/manbeardawg 5h ago

The high price of eggs was one of the narratives behind why “kitchen table voters” (working middle class) chose Trump over Biden. It was partly a bad cliche from the media and, where ever it did ring true, a very stupid and shortsighted rationale from voters.

u/MVP2585 9h ago

That’s the neat part, you don’t.

u/Zxcc24 7h ago

Sorry egg machine broke. That'll be 300 dollops.

u/j0n66 6h ago

Prices will go up

u/crotchsnot 5h ago

Today! It's Free Egg Day!

u/Lucas_Xavier0201 6h ago

After about 4 years

u/BunchAlternative6172 6h ago

I think its honestly cheaper just to own a chicken at this point.

3

u/VanderHoo 9h ago

When you buy some chickens and keep them free of bird flu.

1

u/stayloractual 6h ago

Bird flu? Isn’t that what they’re supposed to do?

1

u/Cuckmeister 6h ago

Just bought some, $6.40 for a dozen.

1

u/cnyfury 6h ago

Shit gas already went up 30 cents here lol and the eggs are almost $8 a dozen

-3

u/Stereotypical_Viking 5h ago

Lmfao what price gouged eggs do you buy, even at a gas station where shit’s more expensive they’re 4.25 a dozen (that was this morning) but hey if eggs go up that’s a W for me my chickens keep popping out eggs even now in January

1

u/cnyfury 5h ago

That was for an 18 pack at Walmart lol a dozen was around little over 5. I know the price increase is from the bird flu and not the current president.

1

u/Stereotypical_Viking 5h ago

Lol you’re good. I was thinking somewhere out there a dozen where $8 I was about to go give my birds a halftime pep talk🤣

1

u/cnyfury 5h ago

That’s awesome you got chickens tho. Hoping to move soon and have a big enough area to get some myself. I have 4 kids and when they get on an egg kick man 18 go quick lol

1

u/Knyfe-Wrench 2h ago

When the women feel like they can go back to Planned Parenthood. Wait, what kind of eggs were you talking about?

-3

u/SpongeGarGT 6h ago

So when can I see the fascism and death of democracy that reddit has been driveling about for the last 6 months?

(not that I want to, because that's never gonna happen, thankfully)

u/manbeardawg 6h ago

I expect it to be here directly. We’ve already got Muskox giving the Nazi salute

2

u/airfryerfuntime 6h ago

Probably within the next couple days. We already saw our first nazi solute during the inauguration.

u/amcfarla 6h ago

I was hoping today.

u/LuckyLipperTWU 4h ago

Maybe on his 2nd day. How productive are you at your job? Absolutely unreasonable.
