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.

At first my brain started assuming you were just memeing a monologue from Deus Ex, then I realized this was an original comment. How sad is that? It just be here.

...just without the neat cyberpunk stuff. Lol

It is a banana! How much could it cost? $10?

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

[comicalmayhem@lemmy.world]

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

[someguy3@lemmy.world]

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.

$4-6/doz in NC.

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."

[sorryquick@lemmy.ca]

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

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

Most groceries here don’t post prices online, but …..

Boston Metro West - Amazon Fresh eggs from “Whole Foods”, not the cheapest grocery, $4.49/doz grade a large brown. My regular grocery is much cheaper than “Whole Paycheck” for most things.

[noxypaws@pawb.social]

I wanna say five or six bucks for a bottle that probably makes about the same as a dozen eggs, might be a little more now tho

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

Nows your chance to return the favour. Complain to her about how expensive eggs are now under Trump.

[manomorphos@lemmy.world]

In my state, prepared foods are generally taxed while produce, canned goods, dairy, and many others are not. The system is confusing enough that hardly anyone knows what's taxable or not, so they rely on the store systems to do it for them.

[shortrounddev@lemmy.world]

Is it truly your belief that corporations were not greedy over the last 15 years, but somehow got really greedy at the same time that there were major supply chain shocks across the planet? Or is it more likely that "corporate greed" is a more enticing answer to a complex economic problem?

[shortrounddev@lemmy.world]

So it's your opinion that corporations were not greedy before 2020?
