The craziest thing about egg prices is that Donald J. Trump is in the Epstein files.
Don’t look over here (Epstein files), look over there (eggs)!
How much were eggs on Epstein’s island?
I’m fairly sure that California having cage-size mandates does the opposite of driving up egg prices outside California.
They’ll drive up California egg prices, sure. But California egg prices have been higher than egg prices outside California. That’s because it’s not legal to sell eggs produced in other states if the producer there doesn’t produce to California’s requirements, which eliminates California consumers as competition for those eggs. If you have a shortage in California production — as happened earlier — what happens is that prices in California go much more expensive, but prices outside California don’t rise as much as they otherwise would, because California consumers aren’t competing for the available supply.
California’s cage-size mandates may be a bad idea for California egg consumers, but they shouldn’t be driving up prices outside of California a la the Trump administration’s claims.
I suppose maybe it’s a media strategy, the aim being to fix the idea that it is California’s fault in the minds of people elsewhere.
How dare you use math and statistics the way they’re mean to be used. I’m going to anagram the word used and retroactively sue you. You’re sued!

It’s a media strategy, all right. Only the aim is simply trying to distract you from the Epstein files.
Lots of people outside of California are actually deeply jealous, don’t want to admit it, and there is an entire industry around bashing California and Californians as a result.
I think Bill Maher is right - a whole lot of Americans want to be Californians.
I’m pretty sure the avian flu outbreaks have had a much more significant impact on the price of eggs than any state regulations. I suppose they’ll try to blame California for that, too.
It’s probably driving up the average national price, purely from a statistical standpoint, even if it doesn’t actually affect the price outside of California, it just makes the numbers look bad, which The Dipshit finds personally offensive
For anyone who doesn’t know, a factory farm is not a farm, it’s a factory. The industry calls them, “Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations” or CAFOs. They house the animals in the smallest possible space, the highest “concentration”, to increase yield per square meter and reduce exercise to maximize growth. They are not designed or regulated to treat the animals humanely, they are designed to get the most profit for the least amount of investment.
Newsom has become Donald’s replacement for Trudeau. He feels deeply insecure around handsome men. He desperately doesnt want to chance it again that another man standing beside Melania making him look like the live-in dawdling grandpa in diapers they are trying to convince to go into a home.

Nobody tell him that egg prices dropped dramatically in March and have stayed down, I guess

Anything to distract from Epstein, eh?
Well his previous strategy of continually whining about how everyone keeps talking about Epstein, while saying really damning offhanded comments about the subject wasn’t working very well…
He really is getting desperate. He already admitted that he actually is on the Epstein list by claiming that any entry mentioning him must be forged…
Also, inflation is creeping up and blaming California gets the base excited
Trump should focus on Ohio instead:
But that would mean the severely gerrymandered Republican supermajority did something wrong. Can’t blame libruls for shit Ohio did.
Nobody wants to talk about Ohio
“It is one thing if California passes laws that affects its own State, it is another when those laws affect other States in violation of the U.S. Constitution,” Rollins said.
The absolute hypocrisy. From the party that happily allows one state sue a doctor in another state for violating their anti-choice doctrine.
Because you can only raise chickens in California. 🙄
I will never understand the economics of MAGA and how they interpret data. Its always totally illogical.
It helps to start with the answer you want and work backwards from there.
That’s the point. Stop trying to understand it
Unconstitutional? WTAF.
Dear California,
The artillery goes here.
That’s not mar a lago
I looked it up just for the heck of it and learned he has a fucking street named after him near it. 🤮 Hope I live to see all these places named after neo Hitler changed back.
Huh i always thought the neoliberal Republican party was in favor of the free market. Why don’t other states simply support their local egg producers and sell cheaper eggs from unhealthy chickens
It’s fine if they’re hiking prices for profit and to screw the average consumer. It’s an issue if they raise prices to support a “woke agenda”. The problem is the prices are being raised to better the lives of the chickens and Republicans hate that.
What they claim and what they actually support has always been different. They hate the free market. They want to pick the winners, and fill their own pockets.
