Didn’t he already say that he can’t lower prices because it’s too hard?
Technically Biden brought down egg prices more than anyone in history.
I’m guessing the first spike was when they killed billions of chickens to contain those outbreaks.
The funny thing is even without trying they will come down the first year of his presidency
He’s not bringing down the price. Prices are high because of the ongoing bird flu epidemic hitting chicken farms hard. This reduces egg availability. The same thing happened in 2022.
Typical flu vaccine manufacture also involves growing the virus in eggs for six months. So when we want to make more flu vaccine than normal because we want to account for an unusual type that might be spread, like bird flu, we need more eggs. This puts stress on the already limited supply.
I cant help commenting since you made a political statement. The goal is not to lower prices but to increase your earning power. The race to the bottom only help multinational corporations.
How about [adding inflation](https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/) to your graph, its appalling that eggs are not higher and shows how the industry is been abused.
Sorry bud, eggs were expensive so now we have to invade Canada
If you think egg prices will go down with the new administration I will believe a tropical resort is being planned for Greenland.
Bay Area California here: those are some cheap eggs
Seems from the graph that egg prices reduced substantially during his first term, so all he needs to do is repeat that, no?
That will be a cold day in hell before that happens
Where are there eggs for 3.65?? They’re 6.99 just outside of Chicago at the jewels.
For anyone else that’s interested, l looked up whether or not tariffs on goods are considered in CPI data. They are.
Avian flu is still a thing. Those prices will still go up regardless of who is in office because there is a virus brutalizing our farmed birds.
I’m not supporting Trump whatsoever. And I understand that this was one of his stupid platforms. But I think we all should really be aware that chicken product prices are not going anywhere due to another serious problem aside from our dear incoming leader.
Encouraging monopolies will surely do it.
H5N1 is still out there, too
I have 40 hens and don’t give a rat’s ass about the price of eggs.
Just went to Kroger to night only needed one egg! Had to buy 12 for they did not have 4 packs anymore.
Tariffs are taxes and lead to inflation. The next president is threatening heavy tariffs (taxation).
Things you should know about tariffs.- they are paid for by the U.S. company bringing in goods (ex Costco) and passed on to US consumers. The money from Tariffs go to the government and are paid by US taxpayers and not the country who the tariff is placed on.
Normally a country will do tariffs on specific categories of goods when a U.S. company is already competitive and get want to make the U.S. company goods look more competitive by raising the cost of the import by adding an extra tax on it.
Countries try not to do blanket tariffs as it only increases the cost of the goods and raises inflation. If no U.S. company makes the product being imported then the good just raises inflation price. Though more tax revenue is generated.
So a 10-25% tax increase (tariff) on our 3 biggest importers (Canada,Mexico and China) will end up costing consumers greatly. And that is not counting retaliation from those countries as well.
So kind of early to count your chickens before they hatch.
