What would be fair is if the surcharge only applied to you stupid, stupid, stupid MAGA.
No, I'll never grow tired of calling you stupid. There isn't enough time in the world to call you out as being as ignorant as you are.

Rich people won't even notice the added cost, poor people will notice, are noticing. It is like charging people to drive into midtown NYCity, rich people love the opportunity to not have to rub shoulders with the poor.

"On day one I will continue to blame Biden for anything negative and take credit for anything positive. The same as I did last time. "
A real campaign promise.

Obviously the libbies here are totally ignorant as to why the price of eggs are up, so let me educate you children....
Due to the Avian Flu over 20 million egg producing chickens have died ,so egg production is way down. Due to the law of supply and demand, the prices rise and those who are willing to pay the price get the eggs.
It's' not rocket science children, just your basic ECON 101, but then again, very few on the left ever take those particular courses, let alone keep up on the news [Avian Flu has been in the news for many months] as then then you would not be making such ignorant comments as posted above....
Next you'll probably want to cry about the price of beef. also without paying any attention to business news. Here, I'll also help you on that subject. Due to a variety of circumstances the US herds of cattle U.S. cattle continue to dwindle following a period of drought and high input costs that pressured ranchers to sell off their herds, shrinking the national headcount to lows not seen in decades. The latest numbers show the domestic inventory at 87.2 million head as of Jan. 1, according to the U.S.

Oh gee MSGT, we didn't know that because you're the only person who can read. We just listened to Orange Hitler claim it was all Biden's fault.

More interested in why Lewzer has not brought prices down like he said he would. Did he not know why they were up?
Was he lying, or is he just stupid? Kind of a coin toss there.

It makes me wonder about the fate of the transhens... not sure if I'm allowed to call them capons anymore... picking up the slack? Giving them gender-affirming surgery so young and all... feeding them hormones to bulk their breasts...who knows... maybe they can squeeze out some eggs.

MAGAts in 2024: "We need to elect Trump to bring down the price of eggs!!!"
MAGAts today: "So, the price of eggs was considerably lower on January 19 than it is today?"
Thanks BullBringer.
You're a constant reminder than no matter what Trump does, MAGA will continue to support him.

You're a Trump supporter.
The destruction of the American federal government, the end of the United States, is what you voted for.

Won't bother me, I haven't eaten in ab IHOP for years but just for fun I checked the price of eggs at Publix on their web site this motning. One dozen brown, cage free large eggs was a littke over $5,00 so IHOP isn't paying anything for the eggs they serve at 50 cents per egg the surcharge pays more than 100% of the cost of the eggs, This kind of scam is encouraghe price of eggs buted by tariffs, etc, which don't even effect the cost of eggs but that won't stop businesses from cashing in on the fear that threateened, but now on hold, tariffs inspire in unsuspecting consumers. So, we'll see prices rising on many things not even subject to tariffs.

The bird flu has resulted in many birds dying or having to be euthanized. What has that got to do with Trump? It's the same with gas prices, they are affected by the weather, refinery maintenance and several other factors. It's easy to blame Trump, even though he cannot control what the prices are. Does anyone think he wouldn't do it if he could?

Millions of folks (including then VP Kamala Harris) understood the root causes of high egg prices, so they were not fooled by then former President Trump's claims to immediately lower the egg prices on Day One. What you're observing now is not honest questioning of why the egg prices are not lower. Rather, it is the mocking of those who were fooled by such claims. I suspect there'll be more well-deserved mocking in the future. Before you give President Trump a "pass" due to his ignorance and if you believe the current egg price situation is a result of the bird flu virus, please explain President Trump's promotion of Robert Kennedy for Health Secretary. At some point, one should realize this situation is due to (at best) willful ignorance.
BTW, a President is not completely powerless to affect the world market price of petroleum. For example, then President Biden released some of the SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) to help offset the higher world market petroleum prices. Subsequently, when prices were lower, he replaced some of the SPR for a net benefit to the USA: www.energy.gov
OTOH, then President Trump directly/intentionally used his position to raise the world market price of petroleum: climatepower.us

Biden caused the high egg prices and Democrats lost pretending there wasn't any problem.
They just killed off chickens in December because of "bird flu" and now the prices are going up. This has nothing to do with Trump.
Keep grasping fucktards
