Trump is trash, and so is this shit.
Damn DEI Altsteirer chickens taking the jerbs of the more highly qualified Wyandottes
The price of eggs is the go-to example, but the real matter is cost of living in general. People are being squeezed and nothing is being done about it other than token gestures at best. Token gestures are also what's on offer for human rights and dignity.
There's definitely a peace of mind benefit to being vegan right now. Eggs could cost an arm and a leg and it wouldn't dent my quality of life in the slightest. Add to that living far away from US makes it a moot point anyway ...for now.
Also knowing you aren't contributing to needless & brutal animal exploitation & cruelty, fuelling the next pandemic, antibiotic resistance, environmental destruction & climate change, resource depletion, psychologically traumatizing violent work of often vulnerable members of society, and consuming excess cholesterol & saturated fat that puts you at higher risk of cancers & heart disease & diabetes. Plus eating a chicken's periods, cow's breast milk for their baby, and the mutilated corpses of sentient beings is the grossest & most barbaric uncivilized thing I can possibly imagine.
He's already vegan, why are you still preaching...?
The weirdest part to me is eggs haven't gotten that crazy yet. Like the $1.50 packs of eggs are now $6 for a dozen, and I'd buy a dozen every 2-4 weeks so my costs are largely unchanged despite the 4x increase
To me the problem is if we can’t fix something as simple as egg prices, how will we fix something as complicated as housing?
In the grand scheme of things eggs still aren’t that expensive but they’re an indicator that things are much more broken than most people realize
In case you aren't aware, the egg prices are through the roof because bird flu (H5N1) has been spreading rampantly through chicken and cattle herds. If it mutates to where it can spread person to person (some cases have already jumped to humans, and some humans have already died of it) we'll easily have a second "once in a lifetime" pandemic on our hands
Yes, this is incredibly well known.
We knew this about Americans though. It's why Walmart is able to kill every mom and pop store in a town just by moving in. People are very susceptible to economic pressure.
Making economic pressure less of a big deal is extremely important, and why the elites will never do it without a fight.
That's why I'm not really against Canada's PM Justin Trudeau waiving federal sales tax on beer, restaurant food and takeout, kids' clothes and toys for two months. Even if business reports say it was a waste of a billion dollars of missed tax revenue, the psychological effect on Canadians, the feeling that we can afford stuff for a bit, will hopefully help keep us from making stupid American decisions and avoid electing the Conservatives.
That's actually a really smart way for him to do it.
From one of my brother's friend, he said, and I quote: "It's Biden's fault for the egg prices for being high because he told all farms to kill half the chickens so Trump could take the blame once he got in office and prices rised. That's why chicken meat is low."
I wish I could make it up. Anyway I'm going to invent something to clog my ears and eyes for the next 4 years
Pull the wool out of your eyes. Getting complacent now only helps them.
That can't be true
My dad told me the same thing. They're getting it from the media they consume.
BipolarSilence’s brother’s friend definitely said this, trust me.
