Does anybody actually hear anyone complaining about egg prices? I hear complaints about groceries in general but not eggs in particular. A quick Google search yielded more complaints about egg complainers than actual egg price complaints, along with a lot of bird flu articles. I complain more about beef prices personally and end up eating more pork and chicken.

There were a shitload of people complaining about egg prices when Biden was President but it seems to have died down now even though egg prices are substantially higher now than the peak when Biden was in office. I wonder why?

Before the election egg prices were a constant complaint. Every right wing influencer in the world was posting receipts showing eggs (and other groceries) being supposedly insane prices. Shockingly, those complaints largely disappeared the second Trump won.

I’ve realized I’m kind of doing this myself by abstaining from meat for 90% of my meals. Especially red meat. Dollars go a lot further on tofu, beans, and lentils

You can usually get chicken livers for less than $2/lb. at Piggly Wiggly or Food Lion. Highly nutritious and, to me anyway, delicious. That last is obviously a minority opinion, which is fine by me. Less demand keeps the price down. I love me a good pâté...
 
See, this is where I feel the right wing media machine is absolutely essential to the continued selling of the MAGA agenda. I don't think there is going to be the reckoning on Earth 2.0 that the rest of us who live on Earth Prime are hoping will happen over the next 4 years. And I sincerely hope I am wrong.

OK well it was also a major talking point of the Trump campaign, and specifically JD Vance:

www.thetimes.com

Why Team Trump is talking about eggs (and Democrats cry foul)

The last Republican presidency was many things but a lot of voters remember it for lower prices. It’s a subject the Harris campaign would rather avoid
www.thetimes.com www.thetimes.com

www.independent.co.uk

Trump says eggs are $5 under Kamala and claims salmon was $4.99 when he was president

Trump’s Truth Social post comes after JD Vance claimed eggs are $4 in front of display selling them for $2.99

I mean if you want to pretend like the Trump campaign and its surrogates didn't make grocery prices a major issue in the campaign, then I guess be my guest. Perhaps you also have forgotten that at one point most Republicans were of the opinion that the age of the presidential candidate mattered? You seem to have a short memory.

I fully agree that the same standard should be applied to Trump. Whether it actually will be is a whole separate question.

Why not take the high road since your party is the self proclaimed more moral party instead of the stupid blame game that gets zero accomplished?

Well apparently the blame game is what wins you elections, regardless of whether it accomplishes anything. So I guess until the American electorate gains any sort of functional understanding of how our government works and what presidents can and can't control, "taking the high road" is a losing bet.

Also calling the Dems the "self proclaimed more moral party" is pretty hilarious stuff. As if we don't get it shouted into our faces every 10 seconds that Dems are the party of godless commie cross-dressing, child-grooming baby killers.
