Guys solution would be something like an executive order saying, 'Eggs cannot be sold for more than $2 a dozen.'
Then nobody would sell eggs any more because they would be losing money, or there would be some bullshit loophole where you could sell single eggs at any price, but they would have to be packaged separately, which would land us back at $12 a dozen, having to waste plastic wrap every time we crack an egg.
Honestly, government intervention in food supply pricing and shortages is not new and we have ways (subsidies/tax/health mandates) to change the price. Not saying we should intervene, but if we wanted to do it, there are ways.
What do you mean? DEI is making everything cost more and he is currently working on removing all the DEI! I hear he needs to remove DEI from Greenland, then prices will decrease!
I hear Greenland has WMDs.
Panama too must learn our peaceful ways, by force(again).
Fun fact: in spite of being so far from any place producing them on an industrial scale that they have to be flown in at great expense, eggs in Greenland are $3.93 for a dozen, which is cheaper than in any part of the US.
if enough planes fall, eventually so will egg prices.
so says Trump.
His time as the USA president has barely started. He didnt have time to lower egg prices
He will lower them in about 4 years so people will be happy and they will vote for him again
As a Godzilla fan, I'm offended.
Scary to think how many will be content once egg prices get lowered.
I don't think it'll be just the eggs. The eggs are the most prominent thing that he campaigned over. If eggs ever do drop in price, we just move to another thing, like fuel or literally anything that requires another country's export. We've got options.
There's already rushes in Maple syrup. The store by me was nearly picked clean of everything but the most expensive stuff.
