Of all the things Musk could be doing, why isn't he stopping the killing of the hens?#MAGA told me that the high egg prices were first the result of inflation caused by Biden policy. That I was wrong to point out that inflation was inevitable post COVID, and lower here than most anywhere else. Then they said it was the killing of the chickens which was unnecessary because the bird flu was fake or not that bad, just like they said about COVID.I need to stop asking so many questions...

@wjmaggos This gets me wondering how many eggs per week do these people eat for this to matter. I say that and I eat a lot of eggs but surely variations on the price of energy would affect me more .

@santiago it was an easy talking point. normally it's gas prices but it wasn't that high this election cycle.my question is how much does pointing out something like this matter? there's no election coming up but I want to believe some people are able to be shaken out of their partisan info/opinion tunnels by these kinds of arguments. I just want people thinking more than they seem to be, on all sides.

@wjmaggos Yeah I see this from all sides indeed. In Brazil it’s the price of olive oil for example (which is imported so it mostly reflects the value of foreign currencies). It’s easier to point out the economical difficulties of the working class with common groceries pricing rather than the underlying causes of economic uncertainty.
