I like Kendrick Lamar a lot. I thought that show was good but a bit less over the top than in recent history.
I thought it was one of the if not the worst half time show I have seen. But the Buick was cool

Oh yea, snopes, they repeat whatever the international fact checking network (IFCN) says, and those people are funded by a bunch of NGOs funded by USAID that just got busted for funding a psyop against the country. super reliable. I reported on this in the covid thread nobody reads back in oct-nov, and was all like, 'look out for egg prices due to more virus bullshit' and here we are :tinfoil:

She wasnt technically arrested in the sense she was booked, but had to be removed from her office after being fired by armed security. Close enough.

It's amazing what a little Google-ing can do to debunk BS. But, like all things its much more nuanced than a Snopes article or Twitter post.

Agreed.

To my point when you see an outlandish claim, do some checking.
You aren't dumb people, Never attribute to malice that which can be explained with incompetence.

I still yearn to understand why a dozen is now $10. It has nothing to do with supply IMO. I still think it’s a 2020 toilet paper type fiasco of 2025.

A bit of a shot from the hip. But think of it this way… IF the price increases was to curb the demand … the shelves would have been back to full or back to prior levels.

We’re at a situation now where shelves are still not full and prices are out of whack. So this means there is some sort of demand equation happening (I.e the vids dropping at Costco with people wheeling out 1000s of eggs).

The social aspect of everyone being actively plugged into this market (off eggs) seems to be the real issue.

Other countries haven’t had issues. The egg prices in Mexico and UK (per Reddit brain rot posts) have been stable. This is a uniquely US based problem that shouldn’t exist imo

This wasn't a "gotcha" question. More of a philosophy that even if you recognize that you're not basing your statement solely on data it's fine. Believe what you want, hunches and gut instinct exist for a reason. But, like you did so there, acknowledge that it's unverified.

I saw these too, people going :fullretard:

Meanwhile, Target was fully stocked, with semi-normal prices. I grabbed a dozen of Vital Farms eggs for $7.99. Up from $6.58 a month ago. (I don't use a lot of eggs anymore)

There will never be enough information and :fax: to draw the proper conclusion. So we’re all only left with theories

$7.99 a dozen is :disgust:

I think it's the opposite problem in many cases. We have too much information.

I saw a chicken while jogging, if I stole it would that be a worker seizing the means of production?
(Yes I know it's a rooster.)

And we all know that's a bullshit tag line.
Sure, some farms are more "humane" but these are livestock at the end of the day.

The only free-range humane chickens I see are owned by people with small homesteads, and they're more of pets than food.

It’s actually kinda crazy my buddy has his own chickens. And they cost about $1 an egg when all said and done. Feed is super expensive.

Word. Most people do it for the love of the game. No hate, chickens seem kinda dope if you have the land for it.
