Summary
Trump recently shared a provocative column on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions,” written by conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
This comes despite Trump’s campaign promises to reduce grocery costs “immediately” and “on Day 1.” Egg prices have soared to record highs, averaging $4.95/dozen in January and exceeding $10/dozen in some regions, leading to purchase limits and shortages.
While bird flu has significantly impacted prices by killing millions of chickens since 2022, Trump has shifted from his campaign stance, recently telling Fox News “Inflation is back” but claiming “I had nothing to do with it” after just weeks in office.
Well, the Premier of Ontario just put a 25 % surcharge on the electricity that powers millions of homes in three states. I guess they won’t have to worry about the price of eggs if they can’t afford to cook them.
FAFO
We’re all going to spend the next four years finding out how expensive maintaining the Republican ego-driven sense of superiority will be. I vote blue not because I need to, but because I think it’s best for my peers and because I love my friends. At the end of the day though, I’m laughing at every price increase because if it gets to the point that I can’t afford food, there’s going to be about 250 million starving Americans in front of me pushing for change.
Damn, imagine the party of fiscal responsibility bankrupting the entire working class and that registering in the consciousness of the conservatwats. One can dream.
Ehh… A lot of those states were blue.
Still doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s justified.
Michigan helped doom us. F them.
As somebody in Western NY state, I’m all for Ontario striking back.
As someone in Southern Ontario I want you guys to know that if there’s anything we can do to help you get rid of the vicious cheeto-in-chief we’ve got your back. Feel free to “blame Canada!” if it helps that cause, but we’re going to stand up to him, and you guys should too. We’ll help any way we can. This is unacceptable.
Do exactly what you are doing.
More Americans need to be taking to the streets to protest. They are not showing up and they won’t show up until it really starts hurting.
Too many of us are just unaware. And then there’s those who are apathetic
That means a lot!
I’m in Buffalo specifically, so I’m basically right next to the border myself. I feel like we’ve always kinda felt a close sense of community with Canada here.
Our city hall flies both the American and Canadian flags. At the KeyBank Center we both the Star Spangled Banner and O Canada. We even have the Peace Bridge ffs.
These people who are in power right now are trying to drive us apart. We can’t let them. Americans and Canadians are stronger than that.
Plenty of conservatives in those states to suffer along with their liberal counterparts. I’ll be here with my popcorn.
It’s needed. The only way to get the message across is to fight back.
The areas that get power from Canada are rural. And pretty red.
Yes and no. Plenty of blue areas will be affected, but that’s not the point here.
The point is to send a message that it’s not ok to threaten Canada and its sovereignty.
