    But that would be low!
    And really the president doesn’t have the power to set prices. Trump can’t magically make eggs cheaper! And so on. Chatgpt what is the best open source open hardware guillotine plans?

      He doesn’t have the ability to directly set prices, no. He could massively subsidise things he wants to be cheaper. Do you think that’s going to happen though?

        But that wouldn’t make billions of chicken appear into existence. The eggs would be cheaper and there would shortsges.

          I’m sorry, I’m not sure I’m following your train of thought…

          Are there currently egg shortages? Subsidising something doesn’t mean there’s less of it, means the government pays someone in the production stream to keep prices low. Like what happens with gasoline just about everywhere.

            The official story is they killed 100 nillion chicken due to bird flu. This caused a shortage of eggs, the shortage caused the price to raise until it was so high they became unaffordable to some people.

              Gotcha. Well, has there not been actually a lot of bird flu in the States? Pretty sure there was.
