Here's a picture of egg prices on Saturday March eighth, twenty twenty-five (03/08/2025).
This is in SoCal at Aldi which typically has the lowest prices in the area.
Image transcription: picture of the cost of a dozen eggs on a fridge door in an Aldi grocery store, reading eight dollars and twelve cents.
Limit two eggs per customer
$4 per egg. :(
I see they're treating eggs like they're toilet paper with the limit customer sign. Did they think these are flying off the shelf? Who's buying these, egg scalpers?
Tbh, I don't think they really care or enforce the limit.
SoCal at Aldi
California in particular has higher prices than most of the US because California has minimum cage size mandates, so can't just sell eggs pulled from the broader pool of US eggs. There's still a shortage in the broader US, but it's not as bad as in California.
There's a limited amount that any one retailer can do about that.
That also apparently passed as a constitutional amendment to California's constitution, via a referendum from voters, so I don't think that even California's legislature could do much about it
they'd have to send another proposition to amend the state constitution to the voter, or get a two-thirds supermajority in both houses.
I'd add that I'm not a huge fan of California's heavy use of the initiative and referendum, which has led to a lot of the laws that I don't think are a fantastic idea in California
I think that legislators typically do a better job of evaluating laws than voters giving a quick skim of a law's title.
It looks like the restrictions only apply to retailers. So in theory, if you wanted to take a trip across state lines to Nevada or Arizona with some coolers and ice, you could legally pick up all the eggs you can use and bring them back to Southern California. Maybe do one bulk trip for friends and family too, doubt that that violates the law either.
Arizona consumers have seen the price of eggs increase over the past weeks as the bird flu outbreak continues.
However, Arizonans are actually paying less for a dozen eggs than consumers in states like California, Florida and Texas.
Arizona:
Fry's/Kroger
Eggland's Best Cage Free Large White Eggs: $4.39
Eggland's Best Cage Free Extra Large White Eggs: $4.79
Santa Clara, California
Walmart
Egglands Best Grade A Cage Free Large Brown Eggs: $9.26
Egglands Best Grade A Cage Free Large White Eggs: $9.20
Where's the Trump "I did this" stickers like I saw at gas pumps with Biden, anyway? At least this one would have some semblance of truth to it, with the bird flu mismanagement.
Im gonna need you to get all the way off my back on this /s (pitch meeting reference)
Keep hammering him on everything. Whiny ass Trump can't take being hated.
Gullable idiots.
We as a species need to learn that there are things a president doesn't, can't, and often shouldn't be able to control. It's so much easier to point out that shit is bad than it is to fix it given the opportunity.
Egg prices being high was the stupidest thing to base a vote on.
And yet exit polls showed that was one of the things that people said was a reason they voted for him.....
See, things like this really make want me to require some kind of test to vote. Before you all dogpile me, yes, I know it's bad.
"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the average American."
He is triggered, so talk more about egg, wear a t-shirt about eggs, and talk about egg recipes, everything about eggs, search everyday on Google about eggs.
Egg him on, so to speak? Ensure everyone is aware of the egg on his face? Can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs, by the way.
well deserved upvote... well deserved.
This is what his supporters want, to be told to shut up. That's Trump "telling it like it is". They hate it when leaders feign sympathy.
Everybody hates it when people feign sympathy.
The thing I'm still trying to figure out about MAGAs is, do they hate it when leaders show genuine sympathy or disbelieve that it's possible at all?
It's a bit of both, for sure.
I think they'd be attracted to genuine sympathy, which is why there's crossover between Trump and Bernie supporters.
First: tax Musk and then give us all millions, then we can talk about the millions you are saving us.
Might want to adjust your wording; it sounds like you think muskrat's billions could be divided among all 300+ million people in the US and result in millions of dollars each, which obviously is not how that works. If that is in fact what you think and not just ambiguous wording, then definitely go run through the math again real quick
Maybe not, but we would each get about 700k in assets if we taxes the billionaires out of existence.
This would crash the economy though, as normies sell. I prefer the way China does it, where the government just puts party members on the company board to make the company align with country interests
Ha ha ha the Orange Turd can’t even get egg prices down.
Next on TV: "There is no discussion about egg prizes. Eggs don't even exist!"
