The U.S. government is on a global egg hunt, seeking exports from countries in Europe and elsewhere to ease a severe shortage that has caused egg prices at grocery stores to hit record highs.

    It’s econ 101. Demand should go down if prices go up, but people are fucking dumb and just accept higher prices. I’m seeing signs at the grocery store that say “limit 3 cartons.” People are absolutely panic buying more eggs than they need. Just like ps5s there was a “shortage” due to scalping, but people were buying them from scalpers because fomo. The same people elected DT, you reap what you sow.

        I bet you think the president personally calls every gas station to set the prices. There’s literally nothing he can do about egg prices, he lied if you can actually beleive it. Consumers are responsible for the prices they pay. If the store is gouging you and you still buy it, then you have no right to complain.

          He sure boasted like he would.

          Also didn’t mind stating that the high prices (at the time) were caused by Joe Biden.

          What ya got next, DARVO Vader?

              If you want to imagine you’re contributing in a meaningful way, go ahead.

              On the other hand, your Main Character Syndrome will stop you from considering that ya got nothing important to say.
