#Price of Eggs

Eggs are now scarce and expensive, and he's placing tariffs and sanctions on Colombia, the largest trading partner with the US for coffee. So coffee prices will skyrocket.

Did he forget he's president of a country that started a revolution over taxes on our breakfast beverage.

He's not sharp. ☕ 🍳

Did everyone just forget about this 😳? Just keep it mind that it takes years to recover from this type of destruction.

$711,586,678 divided by US population of 346,568,532 equals $2.05

Cost of eggs in the US is 0.63 each means that elon musk wants to give everyone in the US three and a quarter eggs.

This is Karma. Lesson will have to be learned.

Fox Business says the average price of a dozen eggs could be nearly $5 by the end of the year, which would be the highest-ever recorded average price. Turns out surrendering our human rights does not lower the price of breakfast after all.

« I think the stock market’s going to be great. »

— Donald Trump quoted in Miami by the New York Times on February 19th.

Donald doesn't talk about the markets much these days. His policies are undermining the American economy and confidence in the United States. And our reputation around the world (except in Russia and North Korea) is turning to shit.

Here are charts for the past month of the three major US market indices prior to opening on Tuesday March 4th.

Yep, lots of RED there.

The economy may be going down Trump's gold toilet, but we have the consolation of knowing that Apartheid Elon's flagship company is not doing well either.

Here's the Tesla (TSLA) chart for 2025 up to this morning.

Tesla has lost 29.51% of its value (so far) this year. Maybe Big Balls will have to take a cut in pay at DOGE.

With Donald Trump, everything he does has to be Number One. He wants to surpass George W. Bush's Great Recession and his own COVID Recession and make sure it's much harder for people to dig their way out of his avoidable new mess.

Stock markets fall after US tariffs spark trade war fears

Just one last chart. The price of eggs is now at an all time high. Up 40.58% this year alone. And any additional eggs from Canada will cost 25% more because of Trump's tariff tax.

An odd thought on eggs today. So, I went to work (mildly sick, but masked) and did my shopping after work (I work in a grocery store). I took a look at the eggs (and snapped photos for my price-record sideblog). So, they really are just through the roof now on pricing. $8.29 for a dozen of the Jumbo White we usually get. My partner prefers the jumbo eggs because he likes big eggs. However, this is the second week in a row I've replenished our egg-supply with those "healthy" cage-free little brown eggs ("Large" but they aren't very) from pasture-raised chickens. They were about $5-something a dozen, just under $6. Not cheap, but not as WTF as regular eggs. (Large regular eggs were over $7). Those used to be the expensive eggs. I was struck with the thought that the current egg crisis is making me (seems to be making a lot of others, too, as the speciality eggs were almost out of stock) just a touch more humane. People are getting those "nice hippie eggs" because they've suddenly become cheaper than the standard eggs. I do not know why they are affected less by the price-issues. I have a few theories. Maybe the pasture-flocks are less affected by bird flu because they aren't cramped in. Maybe it is a greater commitment by the farms that raise them to not price-gouge their customers. You see, I think that H1N1 is only part of the problem. I think that most of it is actually a "let's see what we can get away with" thing in Capitalism, like, "We'll use H1N1 as an excuse to charge extra, like what we did with the Covid-pandemic with supply and demand: We actually DO have enough supply, but we'll do some artificial scarcity to drive up profits." And I think some of the organic farms are just not doing that. It's like they've played the long game and are winning. They always had a locked-in customer base of people who wanted a cleaner conscience about where their food comes from, but now they're getting the rest of us just based on the market. I wonder if the world will take notice. (BTW... Not to sound cruel or anything, but I've always been more interested in being able to eat as a poor person than in the comfort of animals barely smarter than a turnip. My family raised chickens when I was a kid. They ain't smart. Cute, but not smart. I'm also a person who has killed her own food before, so, yeah, there's that). Point is, you're gonna win over people like me on cost-effectiveness more than bleeding heart stuff, but it is happening.
