Yeah, bird flu is really bad.
Why does this mostly affect the US? I've been abroad most of the year and eggs don't seem overly expensive.

16% in 2024 for the uk, but thats probably due to heating costs/the odd cull
I've personally not seen a massive spike this year

#213Eggs 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.
Oblate spheroid packing is anything but optimal! Eggs that perfectly tile 3-space when?

Eggs have famously short shelf life, even in the refrigerator. They’re not going to last more than a month if you’re lucky. The egg cartons they’re sold in are already the most optimized way to store them. Moving them into something else doesn’t make any sense.
>famously short shelf life, even in the refrigerator.
15 weeks!

#215I've been fiddling around with the Albertsons API for fun. It's kind of neat to see a whole year's worth of purchases in nicely formatted JSON. I have half an idea to create something like a personal inflation tracker, but I'm still thinking about it. It's entirely possible that these goons will start fiddling with official statistics around things like unemployment and inflation to tell us that inflation is not actu…
Changing data doesn't seem like their style, I suspect the pattern for this administration (based on past history):
1. Simply drop the topic and ignore it / drop the topic (arresting Hillary, china tariffs, etc).
2. Declare the problem fixed and again ignore it.
3. Blame the boogieman of the moment.
And as usual just behave like children in order to fill the airways / distract.

How does cage free make this worse? The supply shortages are coming from avian flu in every report I have heard.
Well, that'd depend on the law's definition of a cage but it's a hell of a lot easier to protect chickens that are fully enclosed vs those that are free range.
That's true when you're talking about foxes and wolves, but not if you're talking about an airborne flu.
Rows of adjacent cages keeping groups of chickens in close proximity with each other with shared air.

It's the kind of thing that today's right-wingers would accuse today's transgenderists of wanting to do. I think you'd have a hard time expressing traditional values if you couldn't say "woman".
The internal incoherence is a feature of a cult, not a bug! The more deliberately twisted shit they can make you believe, the more dependent your entire cognitive architecture is on them.
It's a mirror of the thoughtless language engineering of their opponents, it's like calling people "latinX" without asking them first.

Voters getting rid of the incumbent because of a perceived wrong does not discredit any of what I said. This happened internationally as well: incumbents lost. The rate of inflation and economy were doing quite well, with wages being higher than ever before[0]. No one is saying these people can't complain about high prices, but that we can't lie to ourselves about the solution. It was obvious to many that Trump would…
> Voters getting rid of the incumbent because of a perceived wrong does not discredit any of what I said. Most of it had no bearing on my point in the first place, but your claim that voters "didn't actually care" was refuted and you haven't offered a credible reason to believe it. > It was obvious to many Not to Trump's voters.
The "didn't actually care" was because, in light of all the memeing and facts, not to mention Trump's history with tariffs, they still voted for him. That would indicate to me that people don't invest much time in their voting choices and don't actually care. I personally think it was a nice talking point that converted some on the fence, but overall was just a vessel to further right wing/Christian fascism.

I built a chicken coop, mostly as a hobby, and the eggs were a bonus. the 1,000 in materials for the structure and 25 bucks a month in food and bedding make that amortization table go out a couple of decades before you see ROI. I joke that they are the most expensive organic eggs you can buy. ;)
Health does not have a price.
Owners of coops know how different are those organic eggs. Totally diffrent color of yolks, also they have totally different smell when they are cooked.

Yes. Vital Farm eggs. Been $8 a dozen for a long time. No change in price. What we're seeing are the consequences of factory farming and not treating animals like the living beings they are.
I've been paying almost $11 for them.
Big city "tax"? Whole Foods and the local co-op out in WNY are both $8 a dozen.
