What if I told you that the 3-4 corporations that control our food supply increased prices to punish voters for not voting for a Republican in 2020?

It's actually just corporate greed. The "inflation" is the excuse.

I wonder if writing that up is a full-time job. I'd love to interview chickens.

The bird flu is likely affecting all of North America. Mine is commentary on Canada vs States rxns on the price of eggs.

I can’t imagine the focus on eggs for most of 2024 didn’t impact the price hike as well.

What state doesn't have tax at the checkout?

Not necessarily better. My uni did experiments to see how far a chicken moved after being put in a free range pen, and they hardly move. Such pens are large and contain hundreds if not 1000s of chickens. (We tend to imagine free range as 15 hens in a flock, but that is miles away from the truth) Hypothesis was that since Chicken are flock animals tbey get stressed in these pens and the weaker ones now are on the outside of multiple flocks leading to more stress and feather picking as dominance never really are settles. Roomy cages with proper perches and such paradoxically might be "better" for industrially farmed chicken.

Not on food, they don’t (most places in the US, as far as I know, right?)

In any sane world, would something as specific as eggs drive politics?

Mass media is one hell of a drug. I remember the Swift Boat Veterans making the 2004 election about whether or not John Kerry faked his war wound to win a purple heart. And then there was the 1988 race, where the national news collectively shat itself over Dukakis doing a photo op in a tank (OG Tankie).

Conservative news outlets hammering every outlet with "Eggs! Too expensive! INFLATION! INFLATION! INFLATION!" stories made this a touchstone for a low of traditional media consuming voters.

Huh, i am not that observant i guess. Just pulled out a receipt and you're right. No tax on the groceries.

I was wondering how many of my Denver neighbors were on lemmy. This is not the way I wanted to find them...

Do you have any sources for this? Also the songs that mention it? I'd like to read more about this

It's less about gas and more about cars. They mandated new cars run on unleaded gas in 1975. While it was technically possible to convert a leaded car to run on unleaded gas, it wasn't done in any substantial numbers. So we had to wait for leaded cars to wear out and be replaced with new cars that ran on unleaded.

Backyard chickens depends a lot on local laws, most cities ban them just because. But if a city allows them, afaik you don't need much room.

Hey, in a different egg thread I wrote a long comment about why eggs matter. You can read it here.

It’s hard to get people to grasp the meaning of inflation, and even if a person has partial understanding it’s easy to obfuscate it with other measures, but the meaning of expensive eggs is clear to everyone.

Anecdote: My Trumpster in-laws could not stop yacking about "Biden's high eggs prices" just last month. Haven't heard a peep about the price of eggs since Trump came back. Now it's just "God's will."

That’s still expensive, they’re 4.5$ CAD where I’m at, they were 3.5$ pre-covid.
