Attacks on civil servants/rule of law, food shortages, random acts of political violence, massive corruption by the ruling class, a weak civil society, frequent distractions (good and bad) to keep the public distracted and pacified, brain drain so that the best and brightest get the hell out— yeah, we’re going that route, unfortunately. I don’t understand why people would choose these things but I also think they don’t know how good we had it. For a time.

This. Sad. Shame on the GOP who think they’ll benefit. They won’t.

Same store, size, 1/2 of your post.

Cherry picking the most expensive and getting outraged is comical.

Please, let’s not encourage Trump to try to fix this problem. Culling flocks is our only real defense. Let him import eggs. Just stfu about eggs. The last thing we need is Trump deciding that we don’t need to kill infected flocks.

Why not quarantine rather than cull? Will surviving chickens have immunity?

Two very important reasons: bird flu in chickens has up to 100% mortality rate, and humans can get sick from infected birds. It has a greater than 50% mortality rate in humans.

Oh stop. That's from confirmed cases. How many cases go unreported because people don't even know they have it and subsequently clear it?

Tell the whole story.

41% of democrats thought if you got covid, then there was over a 50% chance you ended up in the hospital.

It's absolutely ridiculous how you look at life.

Velcom to Trump Amerika, where you stand in line six hour for single egg, loaf bread and potato.

I'm not young and there has never been a shortage of eggs in my lifetime.

This president is a loser who can't seem to fix anything besides his bronzer and even that is applied poorly.

What on earth are you talking about? I've been grocery shopping several times over the past two weeks, to different stores and they ALL have eggs. Stop the constant fear-mongering.

Why does this matter? If I name a store, you'll come up with some MAGA talking point.

Liar. All Giant stores have eggs.

Yep. Giant, Safeway, Harris Teeter, and Lidl all have eggs. Brown, cage-free for $5-6, depending on store.

First timer here (laid off fed). What survival skills do I need to get through fascism. I have young kids and no real escape plan.

What’s ridiculous is your inability to look at a decade of data on this virus.

There are no eggs under $8.99/dozen at our Giant.
