*Dozen Eggs: $4.50 Dollar General*

[scruffy]

Walmart eggs are $3.42 a dozen.

That's a 400% increase since Trump

For those not interested in playing around in the sandbox, here is the serious national retail egg price data from BLS:

How much more are you making today?

Or does that not enter into your affordability equation?

Real wages are down since Joey and Harris took office:

Real Wages Have Declined Under Joe Biden’s Presidency

Though inflation-adjusted wage growth resumed earlier this year, real wages are still down overall since Joe Biden took office. It’s not crazy to suppose that this could be affecting people’s attitudes toward the economy.

Trump didn't keep inflation down.

really what was the rate during his time in office?

 

[Zincwarrior]

You buy eggs at Dollar General. Eeek.
$3.24 here or $2.29 at Aldi.

 

[struth]

That seems high, the avg cost is $3, up 100 percent from when Joe took office, when it was $1.50ish

 

[boilermaker55]

Do you have something against the "free market", what the hell!

Sorry bout that,

1. Well I've never seen eggs cost that much, I had to start a thread.
2. On the way to the auto repair shop I stopped at the store, grabbed a cart did some shopping.
3. And as I did I came up to the eggs, which were $4.50 cents a dozen.
4. Its highway robbery.
5. I want to say that the store is charging too much.
6. Its criminal.
7. How does this grab you?

Imports Helped Ease Egg Prices, But Here Come Tariffs - NerdWallet

Egg prices were recently at an all-time high because a three-year-long bird flu battle has devastated flocks of egg-laying hens.

Its not inflation. Its an outbreak of bird flu.

um the headline in your link states:

While bird flu is generally the main culprit for the price of eggs going up, there are other factors, such as the cost of labor and the high price of chicken feed.

in other words, Harris and Xidenflation

Your own post said main culprit. Is English your second language?

um, i quoted your link, which refutes your claims, other factors are a ta play, Xiden and Harris inflation.

We have had bird flu outbreaks through out the years, and never prices like this

No, you literally said it was the major cause, and can't accept that.

 

[boilermaker55]

Deny! Really! Is that what it is all about because it does not fit the agenda of "P01135809".
Once again, you seem to be against the "free market."!
LOL!!

No, you literally said it was the major cause, and can't accept that.

 

[boilermaker55]

Do you have a problem with the "free market"?

Lets see, the price of food skyrocketed and is still going up, just not as fast, and you think by comparing that to somewhere else makes it great?

Morons trying to defend democrats.

And on top of this stupidity of yours you told us Biden was mentally fit to finish his term and be president another four years.

Delusional stupid dishonest, you are all

 

[struth]

No, you literally said it was the major cause, and can't accept that.

i never used the words major cause, stop lying
