OK can we officially flip the script on eggs?

Trump boasted he would "immediately bring prices down" on his first day in office (referring to groceries). He's had almost three weeks, to say nothing of the time he had as president-elect to make his phone calls. So, what gives? A dozen extra-large white eggs are over $6 in SC.

he would stop the war in Ukraine, bring down inflation and create jobs.
Inflation, grocery prices and unemployment are going higher so far.

Except, the vast majority were not sick at all...A sick bird half found a mile away and the knee jerk reaction was entire henhouses of 250,000 healthy laying hens were culled .

A dozen eggs at $6.00 = $.50 ea. Pound of bacon, $6.00 = $.50 a slice. Two eggs and bacon, $2.00, add a slice of toast and a cup of coffee….two and a half bucks. Anybody been to McDonalds lately for breakfast? Nothin under $10 bucks. I know price of eggs has gone up, but it’s still a hell of a bargain!
