>"I don't care that working people find things expensive"
Literally no one is saying that.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why does this mostly affect the US? I've been abroad most of the year and eggs don't seem overly expensive.
The bird flu is mostly contained to North America. Birds fly north/south, not east/west, so so far there has been no reports of it moving across either ocean. This is why Europeans and Asians are terrified of bird flu transmitting between humans, because then an infected human could get on a plane and spread it there. So far, however, that threat remains unrealised.

This is why we must freeze USDA funding, halt all public health communications from our federal government, and urgently (TOP PRIORITY!!!) scrub all mentions of the word "women" from every public-facing piece of scientific content we can find.
I hope they stop this cultural war and focus on the real problems that actually affects the population,for example, high prices.

Musk and Trump have both publicly said that people will need to accept higher prices.

Didn't the UK just cull millions of birds for H5N1?
I've not been actively tracking the price of eggs, but I know it's causing a lot of problems for egg producers.

Hacker News is not the place for cheap political shots; especially as by any objective measure, two weeks is insufficient for any specific promise regarding pricing to be immediately felt.
> When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One
These are his own words. What happened?

Yeah, bird flu is really bad.
What is the executive branch of the government doing about H5N1 currently? I have not seen any press releases or statements about it. edit: I'm not being facetious, and don't welcome flippant replies. I'm genuinely interested, since I haven't seen any updates and have well-founded reasons to be skeptical this is getting the necessary attention.

I did think it was funny that they included 'women' and 'female' in that list. Medicine is gonna have a hard time with that one, "this drug has some adverse effects with uhh… ovulating persons?"
