Various excerpts:

(6 pk/22oz each) and it's gone up by $14!

Today in my senior move job I had the clear out the refrigerator in the house of a senior we moved to a senior community. I purposely kept his coffee bag and his left over eggs to take to his new place.

Dems should be out there every day pounding on the historic rise in coffee prices caused by Trump's tariffs. Doesn't matter if there might be other factors, the rising price is 100% Trump's fault.

comes from those damn commie socialist countries that flood us with illegals.

So if they hadn't shipped out all their undesirables to us they'd be there to work the agricultural fiel.....errrrr....

Commies! That's the problem! Librul, commie socialists just like Biden!!!!

Yeah, Biden! That's it. And Kamala!!!

If the coffee was grown here by loyal God fearin' Trump voting American farmers in the Great God Blessed USA, we wouldn't have this problem!!!!

Not.

Look at history. How well did Trump handle Covid-19?

Spread the joy of bird flu around.

If most of the chicken croak it will be more like 200%.

since he backed off on the tariffs on Colombia.

but is a "global commodity" full of all kinds of speculators.

The price was already up the past year due to climate issues (e.g., droughts) and like oil, any "threats" that hang over the production will spark an uptick in the futures prices.

Shut down USDA.

Or claim a miracle will end it like he said would happen with covid?

Or else making it unaffordable to the other 98%
Soylent Green anyone?

Eggs are a good investment. Every time I look the price is up.

"The risk to people remains low." Yeah, sure...

I'm not buying them often. When I do buy eggs, I try to get the half-cartons of 6 rather than the full carton of 12.

The other supermarket is Giant, which charged $6.79 for a dozen cage free eggs, which seem to be the only chickens unaffected by bird flu.

I've never had bird flu among my flocks and they stay outside most days. They just wander around my paddocks and go to their coop at night. I had to put in a heat lamp in the coop when it went to 4 degrees F last week. And now my hens are laying twice as much.

I hope I don't jinx it but my hens have never gotten any diseases, not even mites. It's usually the weather that get my chickens now and then, usually the oldest can't take the heat or cold. My oldest now is about 6 years old and she's still laying. My livestock guardian dogs protect them from most predators.

Though some backyard flocks have gotten bird flu, it's more common on commercial farms.

You will never go hungry. That's what my father use to say. You either eat their eggs or raise them for meat. And those homegrown eggs have yolks like cheese. Very tasty.

My friends are asking if I have extra eggs. No. I’m eating them all. Fresh laid with dark yellow yokes. I have two every day - over easy (supper runny) fried in beef tallow.

to look at the list of ingredients on the packages of various food products in your cupboards and fridge. Many of them will list eggs as an ingredient.

This doesn't just affect the price of eggs. Long term this is going to affect food prices in general.

It's always the evil Democrats' fault!

But egg prices is not one of them. Bird flu predates Trump and he is not responsible for it. But going forward he will be responsible for the federal government's response to the crisis.

He is gutting research.

Not to mention, he said he could fix it, so he already took responsibility.

so every day eggs are not $2 a dozen is TRUMP'S FAULT.

The egg section was fully stocked, but prices up about 25% since last week. Meat prices were also very high.

$20.00 for chicken that was $12 a few months ago.

Also, one two-pound box of oatmeal is breakfast for a month.
Of course, I am not clever enough to be able to do anything else with eggs.

At another store they were 7.99 to 12.99 for a dozen.

the egg bins were almost empty except for a few cartoons of specialty brown/free range eggs, and a sign was hung indicating that they had a shortage from their suppliers.

And to think that about 2 months ago, the same store had "family-size" cartoons of 30 eggs ea., for $4.99 (with a digital coupon).

I bet they will be flying out of the feed stores.

Arabica coffee beans reach record high based on Trump threat of Colombia tariffs.

Trump revoked funding of bird flu vaccine grants to NIH. Egg prices skyrocket.

Milk prices rise due to bird flu contamination, Trump administration demand that all milk not be 'pasteurized'.

Bacon, orange juice prices rise as workers stay home due to Trump deportation threats. 75% of workers abandon fields, slaughter houses.

Trump to end all school breakfast / lunch programs. GOP Congressman tells 9 year-olds to go work at McDonalds.
