Egg prices went up because of the bird flu causing a supply chain disruption.

Egg prices are a great litmus test because there were supply chain disruptions (for different reasons!) under Joe & Orange but depending on which color hat you wear, you gave/are giving one a pass and get/got mad at the other.

  • Nobody is actually mad at orange for egg prices, though. Exasperatedly calling out hypocrisy is not the same thing.

    • It's a common refrain, it's just dishonest discourse.

      Remember when Obama was relentlessly criticized for golfing when he golfed less than and recent presidents, and certainly less than Trump did?

      Remember when Obama was criticized for running up the deficit when Bush added more to the national debt than he did? And then Trump came along and nearly doubled the national debt?

      Remember when Al Franklin resigned over an inappropriate image with a woman, and Trump brags on tape about grabbing women by the genitals?

      Remember when Hillary spent years being investigated for having a private email server, just like Bush had? And today DOGE does too.

      Remember when Trump accused remote workers of "only playing golf" during the workday, while Trump was on the golf course during a workday?

      There's a whole lot more examples but I'm tired of typing them and they make me angry thinking about them.

    • It’s wild to me how much time and money he has spent on doing everything but lowering the price of eggs. He has taken it as far as going to the Super Bowl and NASCAR in AF 1 …on tax payer money. Not sure what he’s thinking…
