      What do you mean “probably”? I can look up the exact quote if you need but what you said was pretty damn close to precisely what he said!?!

      You know they passed a law dramatically reducing social services and driving up the national debt with tax breaks for the rich.

        Sadly they are still some of the cheapest breakfast options. 3 eggs is about 1.50 for a meal.

      Yeah. While eggs have gone up a lot as a percentage, they’re still pretty cheap as an overall portion I n of the grocery bill.

      Egg prices doubling isn’t as bad as all the items that cost 5x as much as eggs going up 30%.

    Called the White House State Ballroom, the addition will be approximately 90,000 total square feet, which is significantly larger than the 55,000-square-foot White House as it stands now.

    The ballroom will be bigger than the entire White House by ~35,000 square feet.

    Room for infinite number of Big Macs and large fries.

    The supplier that supplies eggs for Aldi was found price manipulating and abusing chickens. Meanwhile local farmers were selling much better tasting eggs where you could see the chickens out in the fields happily foraging and unafraid of humans AND for lower prices.

      The local farmer can’t supply eggs in the quantities Aldi needs, so Aldi prefers a simple supply chain with a couple of contracts with large-scale producers. Same as the other national/regional chains. Government stopped enforcing anti-monopoly laws, all the retailers consolidated to drive out the independents; the six remaining grocery chains forced all their suppliers to consolidate to national-scale production; the food packagers prefer to deal with factory-scale farms… We could really use a little competition in our ‘free’ markets.

        Always support your local production! It’s better than feeding the mega-corporations that have an oligopoly in basically every single industry and market.

        The biggest issue is that these “too big to fail” conglomerates are willing to take a loss to kill off local businesses, and then raise prices when they’re the only option you have left.

          I’m leaving in half an hour to go to the Saturday market to get me some fresh free range (although not completely organic - near impossible if you want healthy birds) eggs. Cheaper than in the States and cheaper than Aldi, AH, Jumbo, all the big chains. I can see the farm on the map, with chickens outside, at least when google took that photo.

          0.5c off if you reuse your old container. It’s possible, just difficult to overcome the big chains. And yes I’m dripping in privilege but I moved continents to get it it.
