Why are egg prices high? A Bird flu epidemic that has run since 2022.

Trump’s DOGE fired several key USDA officials working on containing the bird flu outbreak. So that’s directly going to increase egg prices. It’s also going to reduce the efficiency of the only process that’s going to reduce egg prices - getting the bird flu epidemic under control.

To fill the shortfall, eggs would usually be imported from Canada. Trump started a trade war with Canada. Again that’s going to directly increase prices.

The price of eggs can’t be reduced by economic policy, only by agricultural policies. But we also know from his choice of Health Secretary how much Trump values vaccines.

On the other hand, Trump’s economic policies will increase the price of eggs and prolong the effects.

So Trump wandered into a house fire that was already burning, shot himself in the foot, then opened fire on firemen and paramedics attempting to rescue him. And the American consumer is meanwhile trapped upstairs.

Always has been.

Significantly. The F-35 programme is a 50-year one. Trump won’t even be alive in half that.

They are legally obliged to refuse to carry out illegal orders. “Just following orders” is no defence against war crime charges.

Hinterland is in Welsh not Gallic.

Acting like a grotty, backward, small-minded country again.

The rich don’t tend to want to lose their assets voluntarily.

Your country settles for ridiculously bad politicians on both sides. It’s media fails to rigorously hold any of them to account. If the left media isn’t handing softballs to Harris it’s hurling insults at the other side and vice versa. You lap it up. You buy the products advertised. You donate to the parties. You vote for these morons because they aren’t those other morons. You are part of the problem too. You as a nation settled.

No, it wasn’t.

The difference between the word and the ideology.

According to the in-universe history, the railways on Sodor were first built to facilitate coastal naval batteries in WWI. So not far off.

They don’t function without phoning home to a US-controlled server every 24 hours.

You can run Android on it. Then you have your pick of apps.

Hold up. She was tired of the Nazi association with a Tesla, so she traded in for a Mercedes?

Why would he? He doesn’t pay them.

See: Afghanistan, Iraq.

America are the toddlers who have found father’s gun and decide to blast at anyone withholding sugar.

The idea that the American military are competent enough to go after just the cartels is laughable. Not to mention the violation of Mexican sovereignty.

Then you see what they did in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Any boy over the age of 12 was considered a potential terrorist therefore a “military age male” and was thus fair game for special forces murder squads, air strikes, drone strikes, and was not needed to be included in the official statistics for civilian kills.

In short the American military apparatus uses Terrorism as a green light to go for maximum overkill, regardless of the level of civilian kills and socio-economic impact. This in turn sustains the vast economic forces in defence contracting and makes a lot of political donors a lot of money.

It also rids the US of thousands of low-income patriotic-but-stupid people who sign up to the military because they have few other career options. These would later cost the state money in Medicare but not if they get killed in action.

War is primarily big business. Moral and legal factors take a back seat.
