Would that be the geniuses who started this all with the idiotic comment about culling chickens?

Meanwhile, Trump continues to wage his war against EVs. You can't win with this jackass.Car prices spiked considerably more a few years ago and have been mostly stable ever since. They could temporarily spike, but a more effective solution for automakers is domestic production rather than imports with price spikes.
But that's besides the point that even with price spikes of traditional cars, the average price of EVs has been decreasing during the past few years, resulting in EVs starting to reach a point where their cost is comparable to gas vehicles. This will result in more EV sales for all car manufacturers, including EV specialists like Tesla, which is what Democrats have claimed to want for a long time now.
Trump always talks out of both sides of his mouth. The problem now is implementing the policy. The Hyundai investment touted by Trump includes a steel plant dedicated to EV production at its US EV plant, another investment touted by Trump.Meanwhile, Trump continues to wage his war against EVs.

Trump wants to halt the buildout of EV charging stations. Experts say it's not so simple

Egg prices are suddenly plunging as the bird flu begins to wane and imports surge to fill the gap. Why it matters: A massive outbreak of avian influenza has wiped out more than 166 million chickens since 2022, leading to sporadic egg shortages and price hikes. It's also turned into a political issue with Republicans and Democrats arguing about who's to blame — and President Trump taking credit for the decline in prices in recent weeks. By the numbers: The average wholesale price of a dozen eggs was $3 Friday, down 8% from $3.27 on March 21, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data released Friday. It's down 63% from a record $8.15 in the Feb. 21 report.

Eggs now cost less than they did when Trump took office. The idea that Biden or Trump was to blame for egg costs was always absurd as it was clearly due to the supply being decimated by the avian influenza outbreak. It has always been a distraction from discussing and addressing real issues. Instead of talking about silly blame games for asinine things, Democrats will hopefully start to shift their focus to proposals of intelligent solutions for legitimate problems. After all, any hope they have of becoming a competitive party again is dependent upon their ability to persuade voters with their ideas (not their emotions) over the next few years. Disingenuously complaining about egg prices is one of those things that has gotten them a 27-29% approval rating.
Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on eggs dropping this fast because bird flu is "waning". I think "Big Egg" knew the gig was up when the DOJ announced they'd be looking into the dramatic price increases.

The Justice Department is in the early stages of investigating the major egg producers over soaring egg prices, source familiar with the matter told ABC News.abcnews.go.com
On a similar note, hatcheries are going like gang busters as people try their hand at backyard chicken keeping. Tractor Supply and other companies that carry chicks can't keep inventory for more than an hour of the most popular egg laying breeds. It's nuts.
$3.99 a dozen, which is what they are here in Iowa right now, still isn’t a decent bargain. It’s not like I’m going out to stock up or go back to eating eggs regularly by buying a couple dozen at that price. Yet another “Mission Accomplished” moment.
Oh, ffs....if you're going to make completely dishonest posts, at least weigh into consideration the fact that the internet exists and all this just happened like 5 minutes ago... A quick Google search would've saved you from making this completely foolish post.
A group of over 30 House Democrats has urged President Donald Trump to take action on skyrocketing egg prices, which have left American households struggling to take hold of this traditionally beloved, protein-rich staple. "Over the last several weeks, you have done nothing to address these rising costs. Moreover, your flurry of executive actions has hampered the government's response to effectively address the underlying causes of this crisis," 33 House Democrats wrote in a letter addressed to Trump and sent on Thursday. "...Eggs are a basic necessity for families in our districts, and the financial burden caused by these surging prices must be resolved."
Why should America worry about Trump? Try the price of eggs, say some Democrats

While regular egg prices have fluctuated, a dozen brown omega-3 eggs from Oakdell Egg Farms in Utah haven't wavered from $3.19 at Smith's. Excellent eggs. I'll probably keep buying them when regular eggs dip below $3. The mystery is why are they so cheap?
I haven't found any answers. The producer suffered a fire last year, and bird flu a couple years earlier.
Fire destroys chicken barn at Oakdell Egg Farms in Cache County
A barn at a large egg farm in Cache County burned down Tuesday evening.www.ksl.com
Eggs from Oakdell Farms are sold in 11 states, including Utah, at stores such as Smith's, Costco and Harmons.
I'm impressed that the farm and the retailers haven't taken advantage of the price increases. Supply of these eggs must be greater than demand, and I've had no problem taking advantage of that.
Temporary spike? How long do you think it takes to raise capital, build plants? Throw in the fact that you're not just talking about cars, you're talking about steel and other components that are imported. So how long to build a completely self sustaining supply chain in the US to meet auto demand?Car prices spiked considerably more a few years ago and have been mostly stable ever since. They could temporarily spike, but a more effective solution for automakers is domestic production rather than imports with price spikes.

That's how I found the Oakdell's.I'm amazed at all the thought we - as a society - now put into eggs & egg prices.
I swear, as I'm passing by the egg aisle I quickly grab the cheapest Large - and keep moving without a second's thought.

"$7.50...$6.99...$3.19...wait, what?"
Never looked back.
My wife also loves having eggs to eat, both cooked and hard boiled for salads. So our supply of eggs in the refrigerator remains. However, we don’t eat nearly as many of them as we did when they were $1.29 or $0.99 per dozen.Despite my messing with MAGA in the forum, I honestly can say egg-pricing has been a non-issue for me and effected me not one bit.
My wife eats eggs, not I. And once or twice a month when she asks me to do an "emergency" quick short-order grocery run, I grab a dozen of the cheapest Large - without a moment's thought. \
Four bucks or six, it doesn't really matter. Whatever the cheapest Large are, I grab 'em and fly by!

It’s turned out to be something else, like gasoline, that’s plenty more expensive now under Trump. More money for products, less money staying in my pocket. It’s like Trump has given businesses a license to raise prices across the board. For example, I just got back from Costco. A two-pack of jars of Rao’s marinara sauce was $11.99 a couple of weeks ago. Today, it’s $13.99. Every dollar counts.
Well, since eggs are used in many baking and cooking recipes, it makes what was $1.67 a dozen just 3 short years ago, to now over $5, harder for people.I'm amazed at all the thought we - as a society - now put into eggs & egg prices.

The holidays usually meant lots of cooking and baking. Not so much this year for those on a budget.
It's nice to be able to buy commonly used items without a thought to the cost. That's not reality to many with kids to feed.
You are very blessed to have the income to ignore food prices fluctuations.Everyone has different lifestyles. Baking in my house is a rarity. But I couldn't imagine the price of an egg or two precluding me from making something for the Holidays I may otherwise desire. An egg is the least of my expenses.

The electoral food metrics in the UK tend to be the price of a loaf of bread and a pint of milk rather than eggs.Everyone has different lifestyles. Baking in my house is a rarity.

Lol, you guys are hilarious. The Democrats have been pointing to the price of eggs as being proof of Trump's failure, even though the Biden administration killed the birds. Now that egg prices are coming down, it's supposedly the Republicans who have exploited the issue.Now that the Republicans have unfairly exploited the issue for political gain, we turn to the Democrats to be the adults in the room.
Depends on the area.Wholesale prices are down,. we'll see how long it takes for consumer prices to follow. Unsurprisingly, consumer prices never go down as quickly or as much as wholesale prices when they drop. But consumer prices sure as hell will rise right along side wholesale prices.
By definition, people shouldn't take obvious hyperbole literally.So no one should take what he says seriously, yes?
