Donald J. MuskTrump Administration Investigates Rising Egg Prices: Report
OrloNorppalol what is there to investigate this is pretty thoroughly documented situation. Maybe next they will start investigating ET
Not supporting trump, but much like inflation under biden, there is suspicion that egg sellers are using the news of avian flu as an excuse to raise prices far in excess of the proportional increase caused by the actual supply reduction.
Note that frozen potatoes were found to be an illegal cartel just last year. Its quite possible that the egg suppliers are doing similar.
The issue is that I don’t trust Trump on this issue.
You shouldn’t.
Maybe. I never would have believed it but John Oliver gave stats on the number of birds killed to prevent the spread of the disease and it was far lower than I expected. Maybe there’s something else to it. And yes, the world is a strange place when statistics from the comedy Channel are more trustworthy than from government sources
CharlesDarwinI seem to remember hearing/reading that John Oliver has more researchers on his team than many news outlets?
For example, if this is to be believed, he has a staff of 83. I love his show and he’s great, but it’s so fucking bizarre that a comedian is doing this better than supposed “news” outlets.
Can Comedy Fix the News? John Oliver vs. Traditional Journalism - Tricklings
John Oliver has proven that humor can be a tool for truth-telling. And as trust in traditional media continues to decline, comedians may just be the last journalists standing.
It was a thoroughly documented situation before Trump campaigned about fixing it. I’m sure they paid attention to the reports, knew what to do when they promised cheap eggs, and will follow through to fulfill their promise, right? Right?
