#83Eggs store very well when refrigerated and are naturally optimal in terms of physical volume. Buy eggs in bulk and store them in a large mixing bowl or other round container in your refrigerator.
Round mixing bowl does not pack well into refrigerator. Surely the flat pack they come in is better?
Also I store eggs outside the fridge. It works fine.

#84Fresh, local eggs have remained around the same price here. While more expensive than eggs from large producers in normal times, they are now often cheaper. This is a great reminder of how important it is to support local farmers and small operations, which increase the resilience of the system as a whole.
This is also a great defense against something like bird flu. When you centralize operations a disease can spread through a population like wildfire. When it's a number of smaller, separate operations the impact is lessened.

#85Earlier quoted context omitted.
Musk and Trump have both publicly said that people will need to accept higher prices.
I'm not doubtful that happened, but could you provide a source?
I don't have a specific cite but I saw it in quotes from when he was announcing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
He said they could cause price increases and pain in the US but that they would cause more pain in Canada and Mexico.

#86My friends parents live on a nice piece of land in rural Maryland and have chicken coops. The chickens eat just about anything so food scraps go to them making them great recyclers: garbage -> food. Also cuts down on the amount of feed they need to buy. Any time I visit I get a dozen or two of fresh eggs.

#87question: why hasn't this had a side effect of raising food prices in general? a significant percentage of foodstuffs involve eggs.

No, the snark is because it was a huge campaign item which didn't make any sense because: 1) The president doesn't have a magic dial to bring down prices, and 2) Trump loves tariffs which have inflationary effects no matter how you spin it So all the complaints about high prices was just for show since they don't actually care. EDIT: 3) Inflation was a global phenomenon and the U.S. was actually outperforming most co…
Trump's platform was bad, that does not make it reasonable to trivialize cost of living.
Notwithstanding that Biden was punished for inflationary spending, all Trump had to do was lean on the perception that people "had it better" in his term. You don't need to lower prices if your wages go up, and notwithstanding that this lags, the perception has been that wages have not kept up. Obviously the intuition was that electing Trump would lead to better outcomes, not some nefarious hidden motivation behind every voter.

That is not what it shows. All it telegraphs is that expectations are distorted. The polls were clear that inflation was the #1 motivating factor.
Black, hispanic, and Asian voters all shifted right. Harris did ok with whites. Is that because those voters do not care about prices? Is that because you think those people of color are stupid? Be serious.
