Remember Kamala said she was going to look into grocery stores who exploit crises' like pandemics and avian flu outbreaks as an opportunity to raise prices beyond what is needed to cover rising costs??? And Republicans laughed at her. Well guess who's doing that now? The DOJ.
DOJ investigating major egg producers amid soaring prices: Sources
The Justice Department is in the early stages of investigating the major egg producers over soaring egg prices, source familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Last month, a group of Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., called on the administration to provide specifics on how it plans to lower food prices for families.
"To make food more affordable, you should look to the dominant food and grocery companies that have made record profits on the backs of working families who have had to pay higher prices," they wrote in the letter to President Donald Trump. "These companies often exploit crises like pandemics and avian flu outbreaks as an opportunity to raise prices beyond what is needed to cover rising costs."
the president and CEO of American Egg Board, which represents egg producers nationwide, said any suggestion that egg price increases are due to price gouging is a "misreading of facts and reality."
So why is the Trump DOJ doing this?
Farm Action, a farm advocacy organization that has publicly called on officials to open an antitrust case, said in a statement on Friday citing sources at DOJ that the agency had started an investigation.
"We applaud the Department of Justice's action to address the skyrocketing price of eggs," it said. "Every American has felt the financial pain caused by the power of the monopolistic egg industry.
Not anymore. USAID got all their money. Because a Georgia Peanut farmer is the one milking the US tax payer. So the fraud waste and abuse here go on.The guy with no money is a laid off USAID lawyer.
From the onset of Covid there were/are disruptions in many ways of what we were not used to. It is amazing of the ripples caused from a biological weapon released by the Chinese with the help of Americans with ulterior motives.Remember Kamala said she was going to look into grocery stores who exploit crises' like pandemics and avian flu outbreaks as an opportunity to raise prices beyond what is needed to cover rising costs???

Trump has egg prices down $1.85. Another Biden mess cleaned up.
Yes, Trump did what Kamala said she would do. She was going to look into grocery stores gouging us. Which they clearly were. You guys argued that she should not interfer.
But today the DOJ says they are going to look into price gouging. So they suddenly agree with Elizabeth Warren? And now egg sellers are suddenly dropping their prices?
Great idea Kamala.

Nuthin' but the truth
Ok, I'll give you that to the extent that she brought it up. Too bad she was such a poor campaigner that she had NO chance...The question would be why the prices went up in the first place? That was Biden era....Thanks to President Trump for coming in and cleaning it up.
Trump's actions are exactly what Kamala said she would have done and you attacked her for it. Piss off stupid.
No, trump didn't go after businesses that sold eggs just at this cost. Geez man....hahaha

Why do you always lie?

Would have done? Hey dumbass, she was in office when she cackled about price gouging. She did nothing……except flap her dick sheaths.
What did you say? trump didn't go after businesses that sold eggs just at this cost
Trump signaled that he was going to go after corporations who are gouging us. I'm glad you guys finally admit corportions were gouging us for the last 4 years. You are such partisan hacks that you defended the gougers for 4 fucking years just so you could play politics with this.
How much has inflation cost you? Self inflicted wound dummy.
You told her they weren't gouging us. Do you see how your opinions shift based on who's in the White House? It's really sad. Pathetic actually.

Where is your proof of price gouging?
Why didn’t she DO something instead of just flapping her dick holsters?
