Egg prices increase to record high despite Trump's predictions and bird flu outbreak slowing
Egg prices increase to record high despite Trump's predictions and bird flu outbreak slowing
Why would prices decrease when Americans time and time again show that we will just bend over and take whatever our corporate overlords dish out.
Literally have had little old people spending tons of gas money driving all over town looking for eggs when you couldn't find them. It was bonkers. Nobody needs eggs that badly, but they were willing to waste half the day just to get some at all, not even cheap.
Indeed, just bending over and taking it. Even lubing themselves up first, with this kind of behavior. Like the entire economy is a fucking Findom and all the consumers are Finsubs throwing their money at the Findom.
That's not unique to any one generation. Herd behavior is, like, part of the human condition.
You serious? Your own examples aren't even isolated to Boomers. Beanie babies was primarily a Millennial and Gen X phenomenon (which made sense because it was a toy trend amplified through the rise of the internet as mainstream, and took off among those early adopters of dial-up), and was one of many consumerist toy trends of the 80's and 90's, like pogs or Cabbage Patch Kids or Magic: The Gathering cards.
Satanic panic was driven as much by Silent Generation as it was the boomers, and is unfortunately part of a long line of religious othering that traces back to the dawn of human history. Mike Warnke's The Satan Seller hit bestseller lists in 1972, and Silent Generation authors like Lauren Stratford and Lawrence Pazder ran away with their made up stories (and made a killing on book sales). By the time that panic hit its peak in the early 80's, most parents of young children were boomers, but the collective messaging was still driven by older people in publishing and news.
Meanwhile, the basic idea of fads or trends are universal. The people mimicking TikTok dances or YouTube pranks transcend any one generation. More seriously, people are falling for conspiracy theories en masse, of all generations. Is anti-vax, or anti-seed-oil, or 9/11 truthers, or QAnon believers confined to a specific generation? This shit is everywhere, and believing that these things will die off with the boomers is going to result in a lot of surprise and disappointment that these things will always be with us.
As someone who doesn't like eggs, I'm baffled. I've never purchased an egg in my life. There are many delicious things to eat without them. If they're so unreasonably expensive, it shouldn't be hard for the average person to just do without them.
I just need a handful to make some brownies. You can't really bake without eggs, so lots of business use them as a core ingredient. im sure you consume them somewhere.
Yes, I eat cakes and stuff containing eggs but I'd do without them if they became really expensive. I can understand bakeries requiring eggs but normal everyday people don't need them. You don't need to bake, you want to bake
Lol we just started the 2nd great depression. I need brownies.
Look up vegan baking. Theres like a dozen different egg replacers all with different flavors.
Oh i've had many a delicious vegan treats. But i'm not a vegan. I've raised chickens before for eggs and meat. It's looking like I will have to do it again this year! Like I told the other guy. The need for brownies is real. Poor people deserve fair access to brownies.
Real quick aside if ya can get a turkey hen and have the land for one or two they produce slightly bigger eggs than an americana hen. Also they may be easier to get since dumb yuppies in my area are going after chickens but not the quail or turkeys, only problem is it takes a bit longer for a turkey hen to start producing.
I do not. I would just check online, there are plenty of companies that will ship fertilized eggs.Incubators are easy to use. I wish you luck on your hunt and hope you get a nice chicken friend.
We usually also get fertilized eggs when we can, just a bit easier to get the chicks when I'm at the feed store. Anyways our hens and turkey are doing rather well, their pen turning into a mud pit from recent rain aside. They have a sheltered area that's dry it's just that about 30 percent of the open area is mud.
They're tempering the mud for the dust season. Dust baths incoming! I miss my pecky little friends.
There are a few vegan bakeries around me that make all sorts of delicious stuff but I do agree that its hard for most people to go from perfectly mixed boxed cake mix to having to bake from scratch to make it egg free.
Personally I dont see why people wouldnt at least consider both if they aren't vegan. I much prefer waffles made with apple sauce for example. Sort of unrelated but mashed potatoes with olive oil instead of milk and butter is also better in my opinion.
