Price increases in eggs have largely been due to the outbreaks of avian flu and producers having to cull their stock, anyway. Not something Harris or Biden caused or could wave away with a wand.
That’s the justification, and maybe the catalyst, but prices have stayed higher than they were due to price gouging. It’s not Biden/Harris fault, but rather capitalism. They saw they could still make more profit while selling less at a higher price, so they kept doing so.
On top of that, the FTC under Biden/Harris has been investigating price gouging at the grocery store level and Kroger just came right out and admitted it. While vying for a merger with another conglomerate chain grocery.
Yeah and a bunch of other shit the FTC has done under Biden to protect consumers. But Biden will never get credit for any of that.
That would account for about 6 weeks of price increase. Chickens don’t live that long.
Dude what?

A chicken may live for 5–10 years, depending on the breed.[24]
You are finding out about the disparity between commercial farm chickens and wild chickens (or rescued chickens).

Quick Summary Commercial meat chickens typically live for about 5 to 7 weeks before they are processed for meat production. These chickens are raised in a controlled environment with optimal conditions for fast growth, resulting in a short lifespan compared to chickens raised for egg production or as pets. The rapid growth rate and early processing are designed to maximize meat production efficiency in the commercial poultry industry.

Chickens live eight years on average, but hens only productively lay eggs in the first two, maybe three years of their lives. And on the commercial level, it’s closer to two years, and sometimes less.
he’s so incompetent. Its amazing how often he just walks into the rakes.

Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning
Motherfucker trying to raise an army of Gastons over there.
They’ll probably be this take on Gaston.
I know this is one of the dumbest things to latch onto, but why do they keep talking about “Kamala Harris’s policies” like she’s the current president? If that were true, then Vance is a dementia addled lying sack of…
Huh, I guess I answered my own question.
They want to try and pin some things that currently go on on her, because they assume, as the vice president, she could have some say in what the president does. The Orange Menace brought it up in the debate as well btw. 🙄
However, there is not much to pin on. Everything the republicans care for is going relatively well, given the circumstances. So they’re making things up.
Thank you! I think it’s sad how they are so desperate to paint their election opponent in a negative light to score political points that they are pretending she’s the president and is responsible for everything going on. Even in normal circumstances, the president can’t push a magic button and control the price of eggs or gasoline or whatever, but the hypocrisy of blaming Harris for it now is just doubling down on the lie. It was all “Biden did this, Biden did that” right up until he bowed out of the race and suddenly Harris is actually responsible for all that shit and it’s infuriating to see them trying it and even more infuriating to see it somehow actually working on people.
