Eggs

[Thermal]

I'm picturing President Trump in the Rose Garden screaming "Goo goo goo joob!" Presidentially.

 

[Darat]

In all seriousness, I expect that within a year all government price statistics will have been doctored corrected to show eggs were four times as expensive under Biden than Trump, even if the are $2.00 each by then.

FTFY.

You really need to be careful in making such posts, they could be seen as unamerican.

My ear was caught, while listening to an episode of 99% Invisible*, by the mention of eggs as one of the products kept on refrigerated shelves in supermarkets. In UK supermarkets eggs are not refrigerated. One of those things that seems so normal and obvious that you don't consider it might be different elsewhere.

Maybe they'd be infinitessimally cheaper if they weren't constantly being chilled.

*The show was about open-fronted refrigerated shelves and their vast energy consumption which is tolerated for the sake of convenience.

you can save a lot of egg money by making Mousse au Chocolat and Zabaione at the same time - one uses the egg whites, the other the yolk.

Seems to be an expectation among low info Americans that the capitalist Trump will interfere with the free market price of eggs (and a few other things). That would amount to socialism in action. A thing that right wingers claim to despise.

That's the only way eggs are gonna get significantly cheaper in the forseeable future.

That's the only way eggs are gonna get significantly cheaper in the foreseeable future.

Hey who could have known it was complicated to control the prices of groceries?

 

[Olmstead]

I'm vegan, but no one ever talks about the price of chickpeas.

I'll have you know I had the business acumen to get on the ground floor of a pyramid scene.

Sounds like you might need to improve your business acumen. Have you tried sharpening stones? Or walking on coals?

I don't think enough attention is being paid to Big Chicken, who is bargaining in good faith in the free market.

...or are they?

Nope. My time has been occupied trying to help a Nigerian Prince.

Post your own fakebook meme and watch it take off. Hey. it worked for the egg dudes!

 

[Mike!]

Eggs will be made illegal when the bird flu pandemic hits, thus rendering the price of them irrelevant, problem solved.

 

[Tero]

Bird flu.

He's gonna cure it. A dozen eggs in every garage, a car in every pot.

RFK Jr will fix it. All chickens to be free ranged now. Survive or die. They will have evolved to resist any virus after 4 years.

In the USA, eggs are required to be washed (to reduce the risk of salmonella). Washing eggs removes a coating from the shell that prevents bacteria from getting through the shell. Therefore, the eggs need to be refrigerated. In much of the rest of the world, eggs are not washed so they don't need refrigeration.

Once that pesky FDA has been eliminated we won't have to worry about hearing about salmonella outbreaks any more!

Won't have to worry about international markets for agricultural products either, You will get to keep it all for yourselves to feed the starving masses that have not been able to afford groceries for 4 years.
