Add to that trumps tarrifs on goods from mexico and Canada, and the price is about to go up even further.
And will be have Trump Flu this year? Hes going to be busy.

So? The President CANT Control Egg Prices!
-PEOPLE who voted for Trump because Biden was making Egg Prices HIGH!

Funny how much this wasn't mentioned before the election.

Managing diseases is woke, just ignore it and it'll go away!

Anyone else notice how barely any news sites referenced the egg prices being related to bird flu until after Trump took office?

Goddamn woke birds screwing it up for Trump. Gotta outlaw DEI and Woke in the private sectors to get these damn egg prices under control.
Probably need to fire the whole FDA admin and USDA admin too.
- That's right! Get rid of those brown female hens and stock those coops with white male hens!
  "Because I have common sense."
  Makes as much sense as dumping water out of dams that won't get within a hundred miles of the fires that the recent rains put out, and now the MAGA farmers won't be able to irrigate this summer.

Please take down this post. It's mere mention is unpatriotic, and our beautiful, strong President doesn't like it. As we all know sickness, like this Bird Flu, doesn't exist, it's God punishing those who've let the gay and other liberals demons into their minds. And even if it did, it would have been Kamala's fault (Kamala Flu). So again, please remove this post, or else I'll have to report you.
- No no, see i just heard at work that it was bidens last fuck you to our country.

Watch as they blame it on "DEI" and "woke".

quick, put massive tariffs on neighboring countries to bring the price down

Wait until ICE clears out all the workers. It must be so exciting to be American at the minute.

Carnists shocked to pay the actual price for destroying the planet. The sad part is that, instead of compassion, health, sustainability, etc... It will be money, disease, climate collapse, etc. that are the driving factors behind ending the systemic torture and murder of billions of animals.
