Summary

Egg prices are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, according to the USDA, following an already steep increase due to a severe bird flu outbreak that reduced egg-laying hen populations.

The current average price per dozen is nearly $5, with some areas seeing prices as high as $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny’s have added surcharges.

Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.

Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.

    He’s the one who tried to conflate his needs with his wants, not me.

    The same argument also can’t be made for “any of life’s enjoyments or comforts that you otherwise partake in.”

    It’s sad watching you people refuse to acknowledge when you’re part of the problem, but I never expect more at this point.

        It’s nothing personal.

        Facts are just facts. If you’re upset over them, maybe you should look at yourself instead of trying to shoot the messenger.

        Keep in mind, he’s the one who tried to conflate needs with wants. If he didn’t do this, then I wouldn’t have had an opportunity to correct him.

        Funny watching you guys get mad at me though; really shows your entitlement, insecurity, and cognitive dissonance.
