    Do you believe this? World wars fought alone haven’t historically played out so good for the individual country.

      Inflation was bad enough under Biden, now everything is worse. The other day at Walmart there were eggs for $8 a dozen, I’m told I was lucky to get that. Coffee was way up too, is this even before the tarrifs come into effect?

        Are the egg prices being high caused by inflation? I thought it was the bird flu outbreak that the USA has been struggling to control over the last 3 or 4 years.

          Well whatever the cause, things have gotten worse for average Americans in the last two weeks.

            Oh Absolutely, it’s going to be a rough few years I worry.

            I only brought it up because the economy is complicated, and most consumers don’t understand what causes prices to increase, when then leads them to vote against their own interests.

            I figure he best I can do is try to educate people where I can.

        I got 60 (5 dozen) white eggs from Sam’s club, for 19.56$ after tax.

        I don’t obow what kinda gourmet eggs y’all are buying, but clearly they’re not the right kind.
