And, the below is certainly not robust data, but also the Google Trends support my observations. “Trump Greenland” beats everything but bird flu by more than 3x right now.
The average cost of a dozen large grade-A eggsrose to $3.65 in November — a whopping 40% increase from January 2024, according to the latest available data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
$3.65? Is this that outrageous or unusual? They had to go all the way back 11 months to find the most egregious differential to report on it? And mention November prices while it’s January? How about we dig back to 2016 when eggs (doz grade A) were, guess what, $3.65? They were $3.65 in 2020, also for a dozen grade A. 2019, apparently as well. So it seems egg prices vary a lot, $3.65 average for a dozen grade A eggs is not unusual.
E: the last .gov financial data for average dozen grade A eggs is only available for November. I’d expect egg prices to go up with avian flu issues, but reporting on egg prices IMO really smacks of the social media propaganda glut leading up to the election that complained about egg prices being $7 or something while they were (average) $3.65 or less.
i think it’s less that “this is unusual” and more that “this is another in a long line of things that is making it hard for people right now also trump literally promised to deal with this but he’s out here yapping about the panama canal right now”
Criticizing Biden is basically giving Trump the presidency for life. Don’t you know he’s the greatest living president ever to exist between a president whose been elected for non-consecutive terms? /s
You almost got me there

Noted.
No one cares about Palestinians anymore because everyone knows they are already cooked. Their best shot was Kamala. Trump/Musk doesn’t give a crap and will happily send more money/weapons to Israel.
I dunno guys. Trump is talking about starting WW3 pretty openly. Its probably a distraction but we don’t get the benefit of ignoring an incoming president literally threatening war with our allies.
Deep in the sea: intensified attacks on LGBTQ+ people.
As an LGBTQ person I don’t really care. The tolerance was always fake and performative. As someone who grew up in the hate filled 90s I was always suspicious of our “acceptance”. Apparently for good reason. It was never real.
Can I hate it all?
no you have to be pro biden weapons sale otherwise you are antisemitic (deep sarcasm)
