It doesn't matter what I bought or how many things I bought, this is Trump's fault.

LOWER FOOD PRICES!!!!


Eggs at $9 in my area. I hold Mr. Trump personally responsible for this.

I wanted to help so I forwarded your complaint to Trump. He formed a committee of Schumer, Pelosi and AOC to solve it for you. Let me know when they get back to you. No thanks required. 

You forgot Harris.  Her McDonald's experience would make a valuable contribution to the team, and she brings an IQ equaled only by AOC and the average tomato plant.  She could be the Egg Czar.

Additionally, "it's just me" hasn't mentioned his dad yet so I don't think it could be Snow Wolf

Another thought.  The Dems brought up price gouging resulting from the Wildfires so I'm wondering if Chick-fil-A is guilty of increasing their prices due to the recent demand from the Wildfires.   Perhaps we we set a price cap of $50 to each family order (regardless of what one buys), it would solve the problem (e.g., if someone orders 5 meals, it's $50 total // If someone orders 10 meals, it's $50 total).   As you noted, it doesn't matter what you bought, the bill should not be $75.  I don't care if you bought 5 meals and 100 nuggets, we should not have to pay $75 on any order !!!

Well, maybe instead of capping the total we could implement some kind of freeze on pricing, a...control if you will, that locks in the price of the food for the next 20 years. That way no matter what else happens people will have the comfort of knowing that their Combo #1 will always be $12.43 except when we raise taxes, that of course falls outside the constraints we put on the franchises. We could also have the media talk about how important it is that rich people like CFA franchise owner pay their fair share to keep the economy strong and how only evil or unpatriotic people aren't willing to joyful participate. Then we could help the franchises by offering tax incentives to offset the cost of the profits they would lose over time. I'm sure we could make that rate flexible based on some type of scoring system that rates how well they comply with our social engineering programs or even how much they contribute to our re-election campaigns! By putting the government in the middle of these transactions we're sure to improve the health of our currency and economy. It's a win win for everyone!

Nixon tried something similar and it failed.

Eggs...... The new "Gold" standard on the black market.......

Police Probe Who Poached 100,000 Eggs

Police are scrambling to identify who poached about 100,000 organic eggs from a Pennsylvania protein producer.

Cops estimated the “current” street value of the eggs at $40,000 (though that figure could increase based on skyrocketing prices).

Investigators say Pete & Gerry’s Organic Eggs was victimized Saturday evening when one of its distribution trailers was burglarized. The eggs were swiped from outside the firm’s headquarters in Greencastle, a borough in the south-central part of the state.

Pennsylvania State Police officials have asked the public to contact them with any information about the theft. Or who might be trying to fence 8333 dozen eggs.

My opinion is price controls are never a good idea. The free market will take care of itself. The government has no place controlling prices.

I agree.  Price controls only ever create shortages and black markets.
Certainly out of character for FSG to suggest such a thing.  But he did seem serious.
I wonder if there are any egg related regulations we should get rid of (similar to how baby formula was over-regulated) but I doubt it.

We will possibly will find out more in the future as they dig through the FDA stuff.  My agricultural friends (farmers) have told me for years they were making rules that were just misguided. In Florida we review these programs every so often. Actually I do not believe they should make any rules the senate doesn't approve.

You realize he's only been in office for 18 days, right?  He doesn't actually get to walk around in the grocery store, changing prices.

Sometimes he forgets things like that, but only if it is convenient.  Eggs will come in line AFTER the the 1 million or so chickens get replaced that were killed the last year or so. The rest of the food will lower as fuel cost declines. It takes a bit to work through the supply chain after fuel lowers. Diesel is about 3.10 now. You'll see cost begin to really reduce at 2.75 or so.

Many more chickens than that.

You got me confused for somebody else. 
We both know the basics of supply and demand. 
We both know that it's way more complicated than something that a President can just promise. We know that's such a President would need very specific plans that will tangibly either increase supply or decrease demand. 

You seem to think Trump has some sort of secret plans increase supply, or, like me you never really cared about egg prices and had a bunch of other concerns. 

Let's not argue about something neither of us really care about.  But let's also not deify one politician while demonizing another, if it's something we don't care about.

149 doesn't appear to be confused at all.  You aren't exactly an enigma. 
Drill, baby, drill!
You've been demonizing Trump for years, while simultaneously supporting a confused old man, who proved to be nothing more than a rubber stamp for the agenda of the far left.

You're confused too.  Just because I supported Biden and Kamala doesn't mean I ever cared either way about egg prices.  You have me confused with someone who tried to attack Trump over egg prices.  You're also confused about the role energy prices play in egg prices.  There is a role, but it's small.  Energy prices were much more stable than egg prices in the second half of Biden's term.  Drill baby drill might bring gas prices down but egg prices wouldn't go down as much.
