This is it? This the big meme of 2025? "Remember when eggs were expensive"?

Ukraine is at war, minorities are being oppressed at home, an economic tidal wave is about to hit us vis-a-vis Chinese imports, the economy is on the ropes, and big brother is literally banning the government from saying words like "sex" and "gender" - but, oh boy, can you believe the price of these eggs???

Is every person in this country eating thousands of eggs a week and I had no idea?

I submitted this. Egg prices became a political trope during the election, and were summarily forgotten afterward. Eggs are skyrocketing now and it is not a front page story. The reason they are skyrocketing, out of control H5N1 contagion in cattle and poultry operations, is not a front page story. There seems to be very little being done about food cost or yet another widely-predicted-by-epidemiologists emergent global pandemic. Apparently those are less interesting for the person in charge than punishing federal employees for perceived slights while doing their jobs.

I have posted previously about the Russian genocide on the Ukraine people and I agree with you about the rest. Some people can't see past the tip of their nose, though, and care about eggs.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
