Egg prices at my local store have gone down recently. So from my point of view it's time to find another stupid thing to attack.
I mean they are outright saying they want to raise prices for people to pay more on shit. Trump also said he isn't ruling out a recession. And Musk said explicitly he wants to crash the economy.

Imagine if a Democrat said this??? Republicans are the pro-business party btw. People in this very thread a few months ago were hoping Trump would reduce prices, so it's just perplexing seeing them dismiss those concerns now.
 
Trump said he would fix things day 1. Now he is saying a recession is necessary and to quit bitching about the cost of goods.

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One,”
I thought the leftist argument was that policies to bring down inflation, and fix the economy takes years to even decades to take action, which is why they argued 8 years after Obama and Trump becoming president was when Obama's policies finally kicked in. Now you're arguing that Trump could have fixed the economy by one day? Which is it?
 
Egg prices are high because the Biden admin slaughtered most of the nation's chicken flock. Were you expecting Trump to open a portal to the Poultry Dimension and summon millions of chickens?
And for what it is worth, Biden made the right call. The problem is that they were not honest about the price increases, literally telling people that up was down. But now it is a huge deal because Trump.

So much dishonestly and cynicism.

I had to mark down my eggs 50% because they were not selling at 8.95 and are about to go out of date(i don't set the price points corporate does, the only time i'm allowed to change prices is due to damage or close to shelf life exp.) If people don't buy at these high prices they will come down.

if all the bird flu went away right now it would still take at least 18 weeks to return to normal chicken flock numbers.

We should be grateful that chickens have such a short gestation period.

If more politicians just said "hey, we have to do this thing or else the other thing will happen and it's 10 times worse, sorry, it's gonna suck for a little bit," they might get more respect. I don't think any politician has actually tried this. The closest we ever got was Jimmy Carter's malaise speech where he told Americans they can't expect to blast their AC, put 100k miles on their cars every year, and also have low energy prices amidst an oil supply crisis. His error was making it a sermon rather than just going "hey guys, this is what's going on," and giving a shrug.

The Biden admin's attempts at "no child"-ing at people in the hope that they wouldn't believe their lying eyes is what got Trump re-elected, more so than the issues themselves.

Libs have learned the hard way that the Nick Rekieta magic words approach doesn't alter reality.

I've got insider, my dad works at Nintendo, trust me, info.
The suppliers who supply chicks had to raise prices due to the culls and bird flu, but their costs are back down. Their prices are still up and will stay up, though, with an explicit statement that they'll drop the prices when farmers stop paying so much.
No I can't give a source.

Is it really a recession if the stock market was in a huge speculative bubble? Or is it a return to reality?

The economy is a mess. I can't speak for others but I have expected things to get worse before they can get better and appreciate that Trump and his administration are at least attempting to right the ship instead of sailing into oblivion as quickly as possible. Eggs are up because of inflation and murder. No one else would fix that sooner than Trump.

You can say whatever you want but Kamala would not have done a better job so I'll count my blessings we avoided that catastrophe.

I've had a (conspiracy) theory for a while that Biden and his ilk want to crash this plane with no survivors because they think the whole thing is fucked after 2008. They think the only way to fix it is a reset, but of course they want to make themselves as comfortable as possible before the button gets pressed. Between 2016 and 2020, Trump was actually fixing things and proving that the crash course was a liberal self-fulfilling prophecy. Rather than accept this and lose their chance at being neo-feudal lords, they ousted Trump and continued the damage.
 
This is the source material I was able to find. I would have liked to find the original Nuremberg transcript and use a translator tool to verify it, but I don't have the proper level of autism. Enjoy.View attachment 7077189

Yes, wignats have shown me this exact excerpt from this exact book many times, which is generally regarded by historians as a compilation of unreliable hearsay at best. Nobody other than wignats has ever directed my attention to this excerpt, and if ten more white nationalists ctrl-c ctrl-v this text at me, it doesn't change the fact that nobody other than white nationalists has ever told me about this story.
