    I personally find it hilarious that they would rather beg than enact the regulations necessary to prevent the problem from happening in the first place

      I suspect that’s the point, this admin is being told to do things that will further humiliate the US on the world stage and further erode the respect the US (no longer) gets.

      Dismantling safety nets, regulation and government involvement in general, while encouraging rampant capitalism appears to be their main goal here. Are these politicians trying to make Cyberpunk a reality? It seems to be working.

        Seems like the only thing they’re trying to make happen is to end America’s status as a superpower and line their own pockets for as long as possible

        They don’t seem to know or care what the consequences are

      The egg prices where I’m at in the US aren’t even that bad. I was just at the store and saw a dozen of the fanciest extra-large pasture-raised, organic-fed eggs were $7.99, and the cheap eggs were $4.35. Is it worse other places?
