"Needing 8 Democrats to pass the budget" is what you call "a position of power". Democrats piss every bit of power away for nothing, then we're still swamped with idiots online going "what do you expect them to do?"
When Republicans need Democratic votes to pass something, that means Democrats should get something in return. When Dems are in power, they water down legislation and say they need to do that to court Republicans who still don't vote for the bill. When Dems are in the minority, they vote with Republicans and complain about not being able to do anything.
This is a big world, people's customs vary, and I'm not one who expects everyone to follow my moral judgements, but "COUSINS ARRESTED AFTER REFUSING TO STOP HAVING SEX DURING FUNERAL CEREMONY" doesn't throw up any red flags for you?
Not trying to dunk, more wondering whether I'm missing dry humor or a language barrier.
Yup. Egg production is down ~2% from last year. Prices have doubled.
Egg monopolists are just saying "Fuck you, Pay me" and price gouging. Most of this country's problems stem from not breaking up big business.
Lol, "your inkling" aside, the fact is that there is no actual egg shortage. Your theory requires that eggs somehow became twice as expensive to produce in the US this past year. However, the price of eggs paid to producers has not gone up.
Sure, "corporate greed" is my assumption, but only because it's behind nearly every problem facing this country.
