Funny how that topic disappeared right as soon as Trump was inaugurated.

According to trump, egg prices are down 400%!
Now when you go to the grocery (what a beautiful word btw) store, the store actually pays YOU money to take the eggs apparently.
Prices haven't gone down (prices never go down here, price of oil can be half of what it was 3 months ago, price at the servo will stay the same) but you can actually buy eggs, which you couldn't for a good 6 to 9 months.

Thank goodness for a president that knows what he's doing.

Just a heads up, whenever I see a thread where the last post is by someone I have on ignore I just post whatever I find in like 15 seconds so as to deny them the last word in a thread. No idea what they post but I only have two active posters on ignore so I know they either posted a meme or a tweet because they do not have original thoughts.

I only have one cop of coffee a day. Most days. Always buy only when on sale. The other day I noticed a medium size canister of Folgers at Walgreens was $19.99. Ouch.
There are hundreds of millions of Americans that Trump could have thought of first, before imposing 50% tariffs on goods from Brazil. But he didn’t. He thought of Jair Bolsonaro first. He put Bolsonaro, the authoritarian who wants to burn down the entire Amazon rainforest, ahead of us.
www.msnbc.com
President Donald Trump sent his Brazilian counterpart a stunning letter Wednesday, informing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva that his country would face a new 50% tariff "due in part to...the way Brazil has treated" former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a Trump political ally.
Trump blamed the massive spike in tariffs partly on “Brazil’s insidious attacks on Free Elections, and the fundamental Free Speech Rights of Americans.” The first reference is related to the trial of Bolsonaro, a one-time frequent visitor to Mar-a-Lago, on charges of attempting to illegally overturn his country’s presidential election results in 2022. "This trial should not be taking place," Trump wrote. "It is a Witch Hunt that should end IMMEDIATELY!"
The latter accusation stems from a Brazilian Supreme Court ruling last monththat deemed social media companies are responsible for the content posted on their platforms. (Ironically, this is also a goal of many American conservatives who advocate for revoking Section 230, which shields American platforms from being accountable for their users’ posts.) X was also briefly banned in the country during a standoff with billionaire Elon Musk over a court request to ban accounts that violated local laws. Trump railed against this and other court decisions in his letter as “SECRET and UNLAWFUL Censorship Orders to US. Social Media platforms.”
But Trump also attempted to frame the decision as one grounded in legitimate economic and trade issues. “In addition, we have had years to discuss our Trading Relationship with Brazil, and have concluded that we must move away from the longstanding, and very unfair trade relationship engendered by Brazil’s Tariff, and Non-Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers. Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from Reciprocal,” he wrote. Contrary to Trump’s claims, though, the United States holds a $7 billion trade surplus with Brazil.
