Eggs anyone??

[neurosis]

Now that Trump is back in office those same people are whining that the price of eggs didn't come down during the first two weeks of his second term. 

To be fair, he did say on the campaign trail that he was going to "immediately reduce grocery prices".   


Jokes aside, don't any of those people watch the news?  Bird flu?

That was a Joke??

I think we need to understand that "Immediately" in politics has a whole different meaning, but yeah, Trump did use that particular word.

It is a general rule of thumb that a new administration's policies usually don't have a visible effect until at least the end of the first quarter of the first calendar year, so if the price of eggs doesn't come down by the end of March or so, we can start to point fingers at Trump.   

Edit:
Trump did IMMEDIATELY start deporting violent criminal illegal immigrants on literally his second day in office, but let's stay focused on the egg thing...

I'll probably give Trump a pass for a month or two on grocery prices... then call him a LIAR.

I've started growing my own. But I'm worried because I keep seeing choppers flying over the house.

I'm trying also, but it's taking forever for the egg tree to even sprout. Maybe I planted the seed too deep?

Maybe you planted it in the wrong hole??


Flip it over.

That would be a first.

Btw we buy our eggs from a neighbor. Just went up from 4$ a dozen to 4.50$

ANTRIM TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — The heist of 100,000 eggs from the back of a trailer in Pennsylvania has become a whodunit that police have yet to crack.

Don't eat eggs, unless you are ok with an 81% increased risk of prostrate cancer.

"Men who consumed 2.5 or more eggs per week had an 81% increased risk of lethal prostate cancer compared with men who consumed less than 0.5 eggs per week (HR: 1.81; 95% CI: 1.13-2.89; P(trend): 0.01)."

Men who eat 1/2 egg per week are not really men, they are women pretending to be men, thus the 81% increase in the other group.
