I personally find it hilarious that they would rather beg than enact the regulations necessary to prevent the problem from happening in the first place

    No, that's what some of them want to do. Start over, unregulated and without the rule of law or protections of society, as it now stands. We shouldn't burn it down. They should face consequences for their attempts to regreas.

    Dismantling safety nets, regulation and government involvement in general, while encouraging rampant capitalism appears to be their main goal here. Are these politicians trying to make Cyberpunk a reality? It seems to be working.

    Seems like the only thing they're trying to make happen is to end America's status as a superpower and line their own pockets for as long as possible

    They don't seem to know or care what the consequences are

    The egg prices where I'm at in the US aren't even that bad. I was just at the store and saw a dozen of the fanciest extra-large pasture-raised, organic-fed eggs were $7.99, and the cheap eggs were $4.35. Is it worse other places?

    Same here, initially anyways.

    Ours were the usual price while people were saying theirs we 7 or 8 dollars

    Today ours were over $6

    I know trump doesn't know world history.

    But helping Russia and asking Lithuania for help are mutually exclusive options.

    The "find out" part of fuck around is already right there, yet most US citizens seem unaware that this is the "find out" stage of how they handled poultry for decades now.

    RFK now wants all chickens to get bird flu, because his worm told him so and what could possibly go wrong?

    Takes a every entitled, narcissistic mind set to shit all over your neighbor's car and porch, threaten them with violence and then ask them for a few eggs to help then through their trying times.
