Egg prices are up where I am. I don't give a fuck. Anyone who thought electing Tariff Don would lower prices in the short term is a dumbass. The point of tariffs is to encourage resiting industry to American shores. I pay more for eggs now, my grandchildren don't buy all their steel from China. Fine by me.

The postwar neoliberal consensus has always justified itself with low prices on consumer goods. The Federal Antitrust Commission has always and only considered one thing when evaluating a merger - will it raise prices for consumers? If so, they block it. If not, go right ahead. That's how all the media and all the drugs are owned by three corporations that hate you.

That's why the Democrats are screeching about Shein and eggs, they still think that the cattle will follow them if they can provide low prices. But we've seen what that leads to - mass importation of cheap garbage that doesn't last, from people who hate us. Trump is the only president in thirty years who's even considered making economic decisions with a different goal.

I'm not happy that white women are comparatively less retarded than Hispanic or black women; I'm annoyed that women in general act as this political millstone around our necks.

Beggars can be choosers got it . You can go shit on white women all you want they are the reason why donnie over here is sitting on the throne . Meanwhile every single male group is either on parity or way behind in votes besides white men. I am sure banning abortion and shitting on white women will help.
No worries whichever party sends you to die for isreal is a go for me and probably lots of other women too.

Egg prices are being inflated because the Biden admin killed a ton of chickens in the last months of its tenure due to bird flu. They were trying to blame Trump for it, 2 days after he entered office.

Anyone even equating eggs and steel is off-base. Eggs are a very local commodity. Prices are highly variable depending on local demand and supply. Different grocery stores in the same area can have wildly different prices depending on their individual suppliers.

Why is such a common anti Blumpf talking point? I haven't seen any hard evidence whatsoever that flooding America with jeets is one of Trump's priorities.

Ngl seems like an astro turfed talking point.

Didn't you get the memo? Having a seething hatred of white women to the point of sperging about it in public at the drop of a hat is extremely sexy and attractive.

I agree with all this, though the egg prices are up because of an outbreak of bird flu and the mass slaughter of egg laying hens.

Tariffs and prospective tariffs have nothing to do with egg prices. The egg prices are up do to massive culling of egg laying birds by the federal government due to the bird flu. If tariffs had an effect, it would be a net positive to egg prices as we export 4x the eggs than we import.
