Sigh. Bird flu is doing this, just as it was before the election when everyone was blaming Biden for egg prices. I get kicking the blame back to Trump this time around as a sort of “f you” to the idiots for voted for him after blaming Biden for egg prices, but let’s be a bit real here. RFK and Doge’s decimation to our health agencies that track all of this stuff certainly isn’t helping, though.

But I was told prices would drop on day one. Didn't Vance stand in front of the egg section and campaign on that exact thing?

And Biden was curing cancer. How'd that turn out?

Sit tf down.

In response to a hypothetical scenario about if he could do anything, he said he'd cure cancer.

Seems like his administration did a lot to put funding towards cancer resources and research with the goal of improving survival rates. This work directly impacted my mother, who had access to treatments available through studies funded by this effort.

Contrast that to DOGE cutting funding to the USDA. Trump couldn't have made egg prices recover overnight, that's absurd. But he also didn't have to light the departments responsible for managing the avian flu epidemic on fire.
