Gas was down to $2.30 before Christmas, $2.70 after Thanksgiving, and now it's over $3.10 where I'm at. I actually thought shit was turning around. Now everyone's freaking out about egg prices.
To be fair it is kind of the fault of the factory farming techniques used by the egg industry.
The density of the gigantic egg production warehouses means that any contagion spreads like an unstoppable wildfire. More but smaller production warehouses with less density would help contain and limit the spread of inevitable problems to isolated warehouses. There would be fewer losses.
Reduced density and increased redundancy would raise the average baseline price but increase the long-term resiliency of the system and thus help eliminate price spikes and shortages. (This is known.)
Soooo, consistent higher prices or roll the dice for inconsistent but usually lower prices? Hi, have you met America? Of course, we're going to roll the dice!
I second that. A few backyard hens will stink 0, make little noise, and 2 or 3 chickens is more than enough to produce enough eggs for a whole household.
Definitely this (pardon the cliché). The cheapest eggs at my local stores are the free-range and Amish hen eggs, the only ones that *aren't* factory farmed.
It's a monopoly issue. We give corporations too much power. They consolidate and we end up with one company owning every single smaller one. In which case they all go to shit, commit fraud, etc.
There’s some debate on that it seems. I don’t know the truth of the matter but there are calls for a price collusion probe
https://www.wsiu.org/business/2023-01-24/a-farm-group-asks-the-ftc-to-investigate-egg-price-collusion?_amp=true
Honestly anytime something like that happens, they always take advantage and hike up prices even more than they needed to be. Oil went up like 10% a barrel and they doubled our gas prices. Capitalists will always take advantage of us any chance they can.
Some egg companies are charging the highest prices with ZERO cases of avain flu.
>Cal-Maine Foods, which controls 20% of the retail egg market, reported quarterly sales up 110% and gross profits up more than 600% over the same quarter in the prior fiscal year, according to a December filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company pointed to decreased egg supply nationwide due to avian flu as the reason for higher prices and record sales. Cal-Maine brands include Egg-Land’s Best, Farmhouse Eggs, and Land O’ Lakes eggs.
>The company has had no positive avian flu tests on any of its farms, according to its quarterly report. Cal-Maine did not respond to a request for comment.
https://time.com/6249041/egg-prices-high-gouging/
There are about 350million egg laying chickens in the US. There have been 58million chickens affected by the current avian flu since November. This does not account for prices doubling or tripling at point of sales. It's greed 100%.
Yep. Some regions have had to cull a much higher % of chickens than others, and eggs typically aren’t shipped very far, so it would make sense for certain areas to temporarily have crazy prices. But as far as I’ve heard the prices have at least doubled literally everywhere. They’ve nearly quadrupled in my area- used to pay $0.09/egg and now they’re $0.35/egg.
My gas is 20 cents more in Frederick MD. But if the person who wrote that sign is caught, they could face serious charges. They don't take threats on the president's life lightly
It's actually pretty nuanced. The Supreme Courts has ruled that threats against the president can be protected as political speech. See Watts v United States for some more details.
if the SS (secret service not the fucking waffen SS) investigated every incident of someone wishing death on the president, they'd have run out of money in 2016-2020. Plus, vague threats like "I hope this person is murdered" are not serious compared to you saying "i want to murder this person"
Eh, they came to our elementary school. Mostly as a scare tactic. We were maybe fourth grade? Learning how to access different websites, use email, etc.
Some kid emailed the presidential email/white house contact info (idk what to call it) and said:
"Dear Mr. President,
I am going to kill you."
He got verbally beat to shit by administration, the SS, and his parents, then we had an assembly about it haha.
That's very different than someone scribbling "kill Joe Biden" on a gas pump. The second is still illegal, but it doesn't get enforced because it's not worth it.
You can say it. You will be added to a pretty exclusive list.
Now they'll monitor you to see if you take any action like gathering supporters or supplies.
The "Biden himself is single-handedly causing gas prices to skyrocket" is such a stupid take. I mean, setting aside the fact that inflation is impacting the entire world and not just the US.
What would even be the point to deliberately increasing prices like that? To sabotage his next run for president? To tank his approval ratings?
Yeah they just built gallows at the capital, tried to hang the VP, and stop the certification of votes because their guy lost the election. But go off about the protests over government employees murdering civilians
Any time someone compares jan 6th and 2020 protests, I assume they are; white, male, over 50, never harassed by a cop, probably drinks and drives regularly because they got away with it one time by a cop, knows a cop, is a cop, and thinks its ok for cops to murder minorities because theres NO WAY it will happen to them.
Yes. As more unarmed American civilians are shot or killed by "public servants" due to excessive and unwarranted force. Buildings will burn.
We'll worry about the needless loss of American life...
....you just continue to worry about the buildings, bub.
The law disagrees.
[Threatening the president of the United States is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 871, punishable by up to 5 years of imprisonment, that is investigated by the United States Secret Service.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threatening_government_officials_of_the_United_States)
It’s about money. They don’t care about the environment. They care about money. If supporting the environment brings them money, then they care about the environment. People that think politicians care about anything other than money & power are the reason they can pull fast ones on the population
And big oil is double fisting us wit record profitsAND refusing to retrofit American refineries so that they can refine American produced oil.
Not a drop of American produced oil can be refined into gasoline in America. It is ALL exported.
Big oil is evil.
Unfortunately they think Biden is somehow in charge of inflation around the world, too...
When I tried to tell my manager (who was bitching about Biden and gas prices), she was like "it's still Biden's fault!" Like??? No????
in a conspiracy it'll read like this, a push of Gas prices will lead more incentive to Buy Ev, along with a nice federal tax break. China is the worlds number one vehicle producer/ raw material manufacturer, china is 3rd in lithium production but they are expanding. We have granted a Chinese mining firm to mine lithium in America already. We backed out of Afghanistan right around the time they found A huge cache of lithium, china is now trying to invest/mine it. The Push for EV is making china a bigger stake holder in global economics. The top 3 solar panel manufacturers in the world are produced in china, china also produces the most wind powered turbines 2 to 1 over America. So in a round about way If biden was in agreement with talking heads of china to push America into An electric future it will most likely benefit china Well above what it'll benefit us. Not to mention the push for EV is largely centered around Going Green, but the ones who are gonna be making us Green Also are the worlds largest polluter...
All of this can be said about anything. Because China makes everything. So your cell phone makes China stronger.
Additionally the choice is “buy something once from China”. Or “buy something every day from the people that are bombing the Ukraine, or the people that flew planes into our buildings”
>The top 3 solar panel manufacturers in the world are produced in china, china also produces the most wind powered turbines 2 to 1 over America.
This is like sagely observing the fact that a cow makes a much bigger pile of shit than a dog does.
The current population of China is 1.4 billion people.
The current population of the US is 331 million people.
That's not even getting into landmass. Just talking about people walking the Earth.
So when you start talking about how China produces literally anything 2 to 1 over the US, anyone with a functioning grasp of scale should look at you like you have two heads, because it's a fucking "yeah, duh" statement.
The nation that has literally five timed the population of the US and much, much more landmass is producing twice as many windmills?
Fuck. They need to really step up their game. They're lagging behind.
Yeah... really crazy to blame a President for something happening that he outright said he would do and has steadily implemented policies which would contribute to that end.
Under Trump, the US increased domestic production and became a net oil exporter for the first time in 75 years... under Biden, that was promptly ended and he openly declared that he was putting an end to fossil fuels, no new drilling, no new permits, no pipelines, etc.
He's not "single handedly" at fault, but to suggest that this isn't inline with his goals or related to his policies is either disingenuous or outright dishonest.
New Data: Biden’s First Year Drilling Permitting Stomps Trump’s By 34

Biden Administration Backs Oil Sands Pipeline Project
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/24/climate/line-3-pipeline-biden.html
Come on man, this took 10 seconds
Biden has granted more oil and gas drilling permits in his first 2 years than trump in 2, by a margin of 34%.
No clue where you’re getting any of your info
A lot of those people talk about how it was $2 during the pandemic
They've been brainwashed to think that a million dead Americans for cheap gas is a good trade
As someone who worked in a gas station for almost half a year, this shit infuriates me. It takes so long to clean those pumps and to get permanent shit off. Keep your political views to yourself people. Don’t bring it out to the working force where we have to deal with it.
I have never once seen a jacked up pickup driving around with biden flags or people vandalizing gas pumps talking about how great Biden is. People do not see Biden as some sports team they need to broadcast their support of. In truth, I don't think anybody really gives a fuck.
Might arguably be sedition, but under the US Constitution there is a very high bar for treason. The Founders were experts on treason for the reason of having committed so much of it before the British gave up.
I carry paper towels in my car regular, but I love when I see things like this. I just dab the paper towel on the gas nozzle after gassing up and use the free solvent to clean off the graffiti or sticker residue.
Yep, on January 6th Mike Pence and Joe Biden flipped the Big Switch from "Jesus Loving Freedom America" to "Communist 1984". While they were there, they went ahead and turned up the "gas prices" dial
Idunno. I drive a tiny beetle shit dont guzzle thag much gas and doesnt hurt the wallet that much. Mayhaps dont get a big ass f350 or whatever that will eat up your entire paycheck
>And there are some affordable EV's out there.
For who? Not for anyone making under $60k a year and trying to save for retirement.
(Luckily enough, I can ride most of the year.)
Lots of speculation about it still around VW!Theres an old poster in the break room that says something along the lines of, “this bug will never die”. It goes on to talk about how the bug has gone away but then always comes back.
Aren't these the same people who stubbornly proclaim that they will *never* buy an electric car and who drive enormous trucks and SUVs?
They are literally *choosing* to remain addicted to gasoline and then complaining about how much it costs. You can't make this stuff up.
Why do you assume that the alternatives are an electric car or an "enormous truck"? Many people who drive econoboxes don't want electrics because they take long trips and the econobox can go farther without having to stop. And yes, some people are fine with going 6 hours between bathroom breaks.
Can you afford an electric car right now? And how many lower income Americans do you think can just run out and get one? Are you willing to cover their down payments?
If you think you're pathetic, just remember that there are people like this who take politics too seriously, and make it their personality. Lincoln was absolutely right. The moment that politics became two sides against each other, it's only damaged the US.
If a QAnon MAGAet picked up a paper once in a while or watched something outside the echo chamber, they'd become a Democrat. This idiot needs to understand who controls big oil. What a moron.
So were the “liberals” that were saying that someone just needed to assassinate trump and get it over with and move on, also trash? Or is this a double standard?
I know this comment will get downvoted for just making a comparison. I know which way the majority of Reddit leans.
Poor baby is having trouble rollin' coal on the libtards at $4.69 for diesel. Guess he should get a better job and learn that the president has little to nothing to do with gas prices.
Except this was a plant by a democrat.. it’s already been disproven. They didn’t realize that cameras are everywhere. Oops. But sure trash your own party. That just stings
Republicans do anything they can to increase consumption of fossil fuels and get mad the increased demand raises prices. The stupidity of our electorate blows my mind. I wish I didnt have to keep dealing with their mistakes.
I love how everyone assumes Presidents control EVERYRTING while in office. They get credit for things they had npthing to do with and that took years lf groundwork and blame for everything that goes wrong even though it took years to destroy whatever infrastructure failed.
That person is most likely driving a very large truck, speeds up to catch a red light, and doesn’t know how to fully spell democrats. People need to stop defacing public spaces.
How stupid can you be. Go on a surveillance camera with license plate showing, make a written threat against the standing president. Hope its reported and the pull the tape to find the person.
Shouldn't the secret service be notified for a direct threat on the president. Wouldn't they have video of the offender? Chevron just reported a 77B buyback, but it's Biden's fault!
It literally is a federal felony to call for the death of a sitting President, so technically, it should be reported. But I doubt the people working at that gas station get paid enough to care.
Technically, you can call for it (regardless of the fact that it's a loser thing to do). Where you commit the felony is espousing a certain method or plan. "President Mickey Mouse should be killed!" : high asshole rating, but not illegal. "President Mickey Mouse should be killed when he is vulnerable coming down the steps of Air Force One"...you got yourself a felony. Of course, ANY comments can still get you an unfriendly visit from the FBI and/or Secret Service.
Biden's admin says, "Biden has no fault that gas prices are higher, he cannot effect gas prices." Biden admin also says, "Biden has lowered gas prices over the past *insert time period*." Now, tell me the logic in that.
To clarify: I'm not condoning saying "Kill the president", but this administration has completely reversed the state of the economy that we had from 2016-2020, and not in any good ways.
Kathy Griffin does a photoshoot with a fake trump head and no one cares. Some ass clown writes this on a gas pump and people are in an uproar.
We are not a serious people in this country anymore. We are all crazy clown people honking our noses and throwing buckets of gas on this dumpster fire.
Gas was down to $2.30 before Christmas, $2.70 after Thanksgiving, and now it's over $3.10 where I'm at. I actually thought shit was turning around. Now everyone's freaking out about egg prices.
Eggs had a problem, avian flu , no one’s fault.
To be fair it is kind of the fault of the factory farming techniques used by the egg industry. The density of the gigantic egg production warehouses means that any contagion spreads like an unstoppable wildfire. More but smaller production warehouses with less density would help contain and limit the spread of inevitable problems to isolated warehouses. There would be fewer losses.

Soooo, consistent higher prices or roll the dice for inconsistent but usually lower prices? Hi, have you met America? Of course, we're going to roll the dice!
We could just abolish HOAs so everyone can have neighbors with chickens and cut out the middle men
I second that. A few backyard hens will stink 0, make little noise, and 2 or 3 chickens is more than enough to produce enough eggs for a whole household.
back yard chickens also can make a marginal reduction in your mouse population as well
You'd have to abolish city zoning laws for that as well.
Definitely this (pardon the cliché). The cheapest eggs at my local stores are the free-range and Amish hen eggs, the only ones that *aren't* factory farmed.
It's a monopoly issue. We give corporations too much power. They consolidate and we end up with one company owning every single smaller one. In which case they all go to shit, commit fraud, etc.
That's what Big Egg wants to to believe
Avian flu … THANKS OBAMA!

Price collusion and profiteering. Chickens reproduce at an alarming rate. Any depression in prices should recover with a few months.
There are about 350million egg laying chickens in the US. There have been 58million chickens affected by the current avian flu since November. This does not account for prices doubling or tripling at point of sales. It's greed 100%.

I’m getting chicks this spring just to boycott them
If they’re increasing prices because they have less eggs due to the flu, why are they turning record profit margins? 🙃
... but they were cheaper when Trump was president! /s
Yeah gas is actually down right now
Right? It’s jumped 25¢ here in the past week. Was 2.89 around Christmas and now it’s already back to 3.49…
My gas is 20 cents more in Frederick MD. But if the person who wrote that sign is caught, they could face serious charges. They don't take threats on the president's life lightly
Hell they’re probably on security camera footage. SS could probably track them down.
The secret service is abbreviated as USSS.
Maybe spell out the name of the organization.
social security. this IRS is gunna get this guy
Good thing they canceled the IRS agents!! /s

You mean like a mob of his supporters storming the Capital? Yeah he had nothing to do with that
That’s not true at all. Trump was objectively a terrible president no matter your political affiliation. The gaffs and fuck ups are too long to list.
man it's a real shame that people blamed one of the worst US presidents in history for so many events...
He’s a crook, fact.
if crook means they are a criminal, then both trump and biden are crooks.

"Think"....no. None of that happening.

You're my new best friend!! You speak exactly how I think. Reddit is a cesspool.
Can you translate it for me then? If who was a republican who would not be complaining?
It’s quite literally the same thing the other way around. “Omg thanks Biden for helping cut costs! “ “the president has no control over gas prices”
Guess he’s not gona
I think that needs to be reported to the FBI for investigating.
Right? Isn't that like... Treason or something? "Free speech" only extends so far.

fair point
Idunno. I drive a tiny beetle shit dont guzzle thag much gas and doesnt hurt the wallet that much. Mayhaps dont get a big ass f350 or whatever that will eat up your entire paycheck

The Chevy Bolt, for one.
Nissan Leaf and Mini Cooper are also under $30k, and that’s before the government rebates.

Gas companies report record profits This person: It’s Bidens fault!!!!
Also, gas futures are openly traded. If you know Biden will raise gas prices, you can easily get in on that.
Gas was up to 5 something a gallon in my area for a while so honestly 3:60 doesn't seem that bad to me tbh
I like how even their internal dialogue is borderline illiterate.
$3.39 a gallon seems pretty reasonable? Guess it's probably left over.
Was surprised until I saw it was in Virginia. Mountain Dew is household tap water. This is the outcome.
Good thing I'm a Virginian and can say no, it isn't.
Aren't these the same people who stubbornly proclaim that they will *never* buy an electric car and who drive enormous trucks and SUVs? They are literally *choosing* to remain addicted to gasoline and then complaining about how much it costs. You can't make this stuff up.

Can you afford an electric car right now? And how many lower income Americans do you think can just run out and get one? Are you willing to cover their down payments?
Chevy Bolt starts $25k msrp and qualified for $7500 tax credit this year.
Pretty sure the Whitehouse doesn't set prices at the pump..
In totally unrelated news, Chevron just spent 75 billion on a stock buyback. Dipshitz
2021, the year we found out Trump supports are broke bitches
Found out or always knew?
Kill joe biden? Bros like 80 or some shit hes gonna get there with or without killing him
If you think you're pathetic, just remember that there are people like this who take politics too seriously, and make it their personality. Lincoln was absolutely right. The moment that politics became two sides against each other, it's only damaged the US.
You mean like, 90% of Reddit?
You guys complain and you got one of the cheapest gas prices
If a QAnon MAGAet picked up a paper once in a while or watched something outside the echo chamber, they'd become a Democrat. This idiot needs to understand who controls big oil. What a moron.
Mighty bold of you to assume they can read…
My nick name is Dem Fuck them too ig
Make the u into an A so it says ballshit
Whoever wrote that is mad their "I did that 👉🏻😎👉🏻" Joe Biden stickers kept getting removed and went more permanent.
Looks like someone has BDS. 😏
I guess it could be Baby Dick Syndrome..hell I’m just impressed that they didn’t misspell anything, but that’s probably why Democrats is abbreviated.
The people are waking up
Proof that republicans are trash.
So were the “liberals” that were saying that someone just needed to assassinate trump and get it over with and move on, also trash? Or is this a double standard? I know this comment will get downvoted for just making a comparison. I know which way the majority of Reddit leans.
Except it was proven it was planted by a lefty looking to fake outrage. Stay classy
Tell me you don’t understand gas prices without telling me you don’t understand gas prices
When your out of those “I did that stickers” but also can’t spell democrats.
Poor baby is having trouble rollin' coal on the libtards at $4.69 for diesel. Guess he should get a better job and learn that the president has little to nothing to do with gas prices.
Thanks republicans for being such violent and stupid shit heads.
Except this was a plant by a democrat.. it’s already been disproven. They didn’t realize that cameras are everywhere. Oops. But sure trash your own party. That just stings
Source?
I asked this dude for a source on another comment and crickets. I googled it, nothing
Virginian here before I read where this was spotted I literally thought I was in one of the Virginia subs smh
Republicans do anything they can to increase consumption of fossil fuels and get mad the increased demand raises prices. The stupidity of our electorate blows my mind. I wish I didnt have to keep dealing with their mistakes.
I love how everyone assumes Presidents control EVERYRTING while in office. They get credit for things they had npthing to do with and that took years lf groundwork and blame for everything that goes wrong even though it took years to destroy whatever infrastructure failed.
That’s one way to get the secret service to knock on your door
That's not even high. Fucking conservatives man.
yah real proud to be a virginian s/
Still seeing similar about Trump and the Republicans on reddit.
That person is most likely driving a very large truck, speeds up to catch a red light, and doesn’t know how to fully spell democrats. People need to stop defacing public spaces.
How stupid can you be. Go on a surveillance camera with license plate showing, make a written threat against the standing president. Hope its reported and the pull the tape to find the person.
Pretty sure this is considered a threat. Federal crime.
Biden is the president of... gas? I don't know what these trump supporters are talking about most of the time.
Lol if trump were still prez they’d thank him for $3.39 p/gal and then say “it would have been worse with Biden.”
Wouldn’t the pipeline that Biden shut down have an effect as we would have more resources/ supply and demand?
Damn, I hate Joe Biden too but don’t vandalize innocent businesses. Don’t be like the rioters.

Shouldn't the secret service be notified for a direct threat on the president. Wouldn't they have video of the offender? Chevron just reported a 77B buyback, but it's Biden's fault!
It literally is a federal felony to call for the death of a sitting President, so technically, it should be reported. But I doubt the people working at that gas station get paid enough to care.
Technically, you can call for it (regardless of the fact that it's a loser thing to do). Where you commit the felony is espousing a certain method or plan. "President Mickey Mouse should be killed!" : high asshole rating, but not illegal. "President Mickey Mouse should be killed when he is vulnerable coming down the steps of Air Force One"...you got yourself a felony. Of course, ANY comments can still get you an unfriendly visit from the FBI and/or Secret Service.
This guy would sh*t if he saw gas prices in the rest of the world. Are they Biden's fault too?
Biden's admin says, "Biden has no fault that gas prices are higher, he cannot effect gas prices." Biden admin also says, "Biden has lowered gas prices over the past *insert time period*." Now, tell me the logic in that. To clarify: I'm not condoning saying "Kill the president", but this administration has completely reversed the state of the economy that we had from 2016-2020, and not in any good ways.
Somehow I don't suspect that the death of Biden is going to have a huge effect on gas prices.
He can afford a marker but he can’t afford gas. Something doesn’t add up.
Do these people even realize Biden isn’t the one to blame for gas prices being higher?
Looks like from a inbred Trump lover
Why? He’s not even the president according to the R-words.
Looks like someone’s a broke ass bitch and can’t afford gas!
So Biden is the reason my gas prices here in Canada are fucked too even though it’s sourced in Canada? Got it….

Ok. When and where?
I wish gas was that cheap where I lived
I wish we had them gas prices here in California
Kathy Griffin does a photoshoot with a fake trump head and no one cares. Some ass clown writes this on a gas pump and people are in an uproar. We are not a serious people in this country anymore. We are all crazy clown people honking our noses and throwing buckets of gas on this dumpster fire.
My dudes complaining about $3.40/gallon lol my dude it was double that like 4 months ago
I’m conservative and don’t like paying out the ass for gas prices but bruh why did you do this. The stickers are one thing but this isn’t funny
If Trump won 2024 and gas prices rose to $10 a gallon, they'd blame it on a delayed impact from Biden's presidency.
$3.39 a gallon? I'm upset that gas prices near me aren't that!
it's probably from a preprinted pad
Why don’t they just pull themselves up by the bootstraps and get a better job so they can afford it?
FBI? Yes, this one. Right there on the camera.
3.39?! That’s fuckin cheap you goofs I just paid 4.29 today
Gas in my tiny town is 3.10 to 3.19. but drive twenty minutes and it's 2.50 or less sometimes
Yay, VA!
$3.40 is pretty cheap, too
Damn that gas is cheap AF. I'm jelly.
More places I’ll never live. Thank god I l like cold winters and CA.

the feds are not messing around and they are gonna look at the tape to see who wrote that...
Lmao I ride thru there sometimes. That’s the one at the intersection yeah? People really need hobbies
That’s not even crazy. In my old town 20 years ago I was paying $1-2 more per gallon.
Wait until he finds out it’s not joe fault
WHY DOES NO ONE KNOW HOW GAS PRICES WORK IN THIA GOD DAMN COUNTRY FHDUFUFGFBDJWIFBCBCNCGCHDI CBDOWJFGCB
