Summary

Egg prices are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, according to the USDA, following an already steep increase due to a severe bird flu outbreak that reduced egg-laying hen populations.

The current average price per dozen is nearly $5, with some areas seeing prices as high as $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny’s have added surcharges.

Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.

Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.

      They are enemies of the US, their goal is to weaken it, and we are under attack.

      That said, they care about enriching themselves and their loyal buddies more than anything else.

      Look at how insanely difficult, if not impossible, our job is at educating these morons on how they’re being taken for a ride by conmen. The longer it goes on the more they’d have to admit they’re wrong about, which makes it even less likely they’ll realize it.

      Being a useful idiot is really a sunk-cost fallacy on a life scale.

          Nuclear weapons? Nah I think it should have happened by now if it was going to. The government needs to selectively kill some of us, because if it killed all of us there would be no one left to enslave.
