In response to this post@ai6yr Not saying bird flu is good, am saying be suss when they start using actual numbers that sound big instead of percentages that sound big.
There's over 300 million egg-laying hens in the USA. 20 million is about 6.5% of them. But you can bet you're going to see a much bigger than 10% increase in the price of eggs, which is more than what is justified.
Oh, and we already bailed out the chicken farmers with taxpayer money, that's how we convinced them to cull 20 million chickens.

Is it too late to switch the industry to ducks?

In response to this post@ai6yr Every single chicken infected with bird flu is another opportunity for yet another pandemic caused by animal agriculture. Maybe we should just stop eating animal products? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In response to this post@ai6yr To the idiots who voted orange because of the egg prices, they are going to find out that the government can't just wave a wand to make them cheap and the rapist-in-chief is going to learn that he can't wave a wand to lower the price.
@CStamp I can't believe so many people fell for the con artist again.
