2020 was toilet paper; now it’s the same again but with eggs.
Right before the prices shot up, I bought a dozen free range organic eggs for $8 on sale, I think at H-Mart in Little Ferry, NJ. A week ago, I went to the commissary on Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn and all they had left was the generic store brand, not organic, not free range, for $6.94 a dozen. Three days ago, I went to the commissary, and they had no eggs at all, just a sign telling customers that by order of the base commander they could only buy two dozen per person.
I get that lots of chickens have been killed because of bird flu, but given how much the government lied to us over the last four years, I wonder if the bird flu is even real and the chickens were killed in some weird push to get people to eat vegetarian. More Green New Scam nonsense. The beef prices have shot up to double what they were before 2020. Now they’re going for the chickens and eggs. Next they’ll be after our pork. Then we’ll just be eating beans and bugs, I guess. Isn’t that the conspiracy theory that’s been floating around for a few years? Instead of croutons, we’ll have toasted roaches.
Anyway, it’s Valentine’s Day, and Moet & Chandon champagne is a lot stronger than I expected.
