/spoiler/ He's correct.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/28/business/chickens-avian-flu/index.html
At her first White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made an unusual claim about the inflation that has stung American shoppers for years: Leavitt said egg prices have continued to surge because “the Biden administration and the Department of Agriculture directed the mass killing of more than 100 million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken supply in this country, therefore lack of egg supply, which is leading to the shortage.”

That’s not exactly correct, and it needs some context.

Those “killings” are required by the Department of Agriculture to contain the spread of the highly contagious avian flu that has afflicted 100 million birds since 2022, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. The egg-laying birds either die naturally or are culled to avoid the spread of the deadly virus. It is up to farmers to report an outbreak to state officials and the Department of Agriculture, which will eliminate the impacted flock. Farmers can apply for financial assistance from the USDA if they lose their flocks.
>>
>>1378414 (OP)
Honestly Biden did everything he could to leave trump as much of a flaming garbage dumb as possible.
Doesn't surprise me that his administration killed 100 million chickens right before trump took over
>>
>>1378414 (OP)
Also, why can't they just leave the chickens alive giving the virus the chance to kill them naturally but also giving them the chance to build up a resistance? Idc, round up the 100m chickens and put them in a massive quarantine pen, and keep the survivors to breed. Seems much more effective than just killing them before any of them have a chance to develop immunity
>>
>>1378417
Retard the chickens are useless that whole time. Any eggs they produce have to be considered infected and thus can't be sold anyways. Culling the population is the correct and only move, especially because it's entirely possible that immunity then leaves dormant strains of the virus that can transmit to humans.

You cannot take the risk.
>>
>>1378418
Not talking about using them for eggs, retard. I'm talking about quarantining them and letting disease run it's course and breeding the disease resistant survivors.

Europe probably never would have survived the plague if every time it broke out the rulers decided to just murder everyone in the entire town where it broke out at
>>
>>1378414 (OP)
She's really blaming Biden for this even though Trump has the exact same policy, precisely because this is literally the only way to handle this kind of viral outbreak in livestock.

I wonder how long she lasts before even Trump gets sick of her retardation, assuming he didn't feed her the excuse.
>>
>>1378418
>Culling the population is the correct and only move, especially because it's entirely possible that immunity then leaves dormant strains of the virus that can transmit to humans.
>You cannot take the risk
Dumb. If birds were immune to it they wouldn't have a disease to spread after a single generation.
>>
>>1378414 (OP)
Why doesn’t he just sign an executive order creating massive government egg farms
>>
>>1378419
That's not how this works, retard. One, disease resistant chickens doesn't mean disease resistant humans; you can have the chickens develop an immunity that turns them into asymptomatic carriers, meaning every product they (or their offspring) produce could carry the virus, which can then spread to humans and cause a pandemic.

Two, if one chicken gets infected, it doesn't know. It can't stop itself from spreading to all the other chickens. Once the infection is found, the whole flock has to be culled because individually testing them takes too much time and is too risky if the individual chickens are just in a stage where they have the virus but aren't presenting symptoms. Keeping an infected flock long term can spread the virus to any others on the same farm, and if the whole farm gets it, then we run into the exact same issue of having no eggs.
>>
>>1378425
Fellow MAGA bros, why cant Trump sign an executive order to give me a girlfriend?
>>
>>1378421
>Why yes I do want bird typhoid marys turning every single bit of eggs and poultry in the country into russian roulette of whether or not I'll get avian flu

Ok anon, let's say we do your idea; first, that flock is now useless for eggs, so we're getting a shortage anyway. Secondly, we have no idea how many of them, or their children, are now asymptomatic carries of the virus, meaning they can now show no symptoms but still spread it to humans anyways. After the first few cases, we're going to be recalling literally every single egg and individual chicken product off the shelves because you have no way of knowing which of them could carry the virus.
>>
>>1378414 (OP)
Based shaman Biden, shitting on tRump's desk as a going away present. chhhYnaman Joe got one of his CCP buddies to create a new type of avian flu virus in a Peking Duck , and CCP operatives smuggled said duck into the US,and let it loose on the biggest chicken farm in the country.
>>
>>1378429
>>1378427
If your argument is that bird flu will inevitably transmit to humans, then all we are doing by killing all these chickens is just delaying the inevitable

If you argument is that chickens can't develop an immunity like every other organism can, and it will always be killing entire flocks in perpetuity, I disagree with that even more
>>
>>1378432
Anon, there is a solution to preventing bird flu from transferring to humans. It's culling infected flocks. This is like arguing "well, it's inevitable that someone will drown in this pool. Therefore, we should remove all the lifeguards"

Like yeah, chickens probably can develop an immunity. An immunity that'll only apply to them and not us, so the chickens will be fine but anyone eating them or their eggs will get sick.

There's a reason culling herds when they get sick has been a tactic for literally thousands of years.
>>
>>1378442
My solution is to create a gaseous mRNA vaccine to release in the Yuge chicken factories, and then we eat the chicken products, we get mRNA viral shedding into our bodies and get secondary immunal protection.
>>
>>1378447
I like the cut of your JIBblet, siree!
>>
>>1378447
Wouldnt work. We can't eat vaccines, especially not second hand vaccines designed for a bird.
>>
>>1378414 (OP)
Bird flu is a lie, Biden just wanted Americans beholden to foreign egg suppliers because he took bribes from their dictators.
>>
>>1378454
USA barely imports eggs dumbass.
>>
>>1378456
Yea, and prices are going up because supply is going down.
>>
>>1378415
And the cope begins
>It's the last guy's fault unless the last guy was our guy!
Get a new line
>>
>>1378414 (OP)
>That's not correct, but it's completely correct
Thanks for the demoncrap propaganda
>>
>>1378459
Didn't trump say he'd fix it though?
>>
>>1378462
Except that /ourguy/ wouldn't have been a dumpster fire unlike briben
>>
>>1378470
>briben
I would make fun of you for saying exactly what your guy does which is taking shit tons of bribes. But you don't care that he does, and most of America doesnt care that our current president is bought by the ultra rich and our enemies.
>>
>>1378471
>most of America doesnt care that our current president is bought by the ultra rich and our enemies.
Most of America does not have a mental illness rate of 60% either. In fact, the belief you stated and the 60% mental illness rate i mentioned are highly correlated, possibly causally.
>>
>>1378471
>and most of America doesnt care that our current president is bought by the ultra rich and our enemies.
As opposed to our last President, who was bought by the ultra rich and our enemies AND was completely senile
>>
>>1378462
Trump has been in office 9 days. Even if Biden didn't do anything intentionally wrong, we are still dealing with the effects of his work more than anything.
>>
>>1378474
Yeah yeah just accuse the other guy of what your guy is doing. It's getting boring. Hey by the way your guy is in charge now, did you know that?
>>
>>1378485
Such as?
>>
>>1378486
>Hey by the way your guy is in charge now, did you know that?
So what you're saying is, he is your President? :)
>>
>>1378490
Yeah dumbass. And he isn't doing jack shit on grocery prices.
>>
>>1378503
>9 days in office
You're not gonna survive 4 years of getting BTFO by Trump are you? I bet you have 41% chance to not see 2029 lmao
>>
>>1378527
Good post. Accurate. They are literally melting the fuck down.
Everyday since Liberation Day had been the same thing, like an old song stuck on repeat: lefties having melties 24/7
>>
>>1378532
you can stop talking to yourself now faggot
>>
>>1378462
Coming from the same faggots that are still blaming Trump's first term for why Biden couldn't do anything right.
>>
>>1378548
mexico sure paid for that wall eh
>>
>>1378548
Yeah Trump really fucked things up. He's that bad. But Americans are dumb as shit and can't remember what happened last month, let alone 5 years ago.
>>
>>1378550
>>1378551
>it's Trump's fault that the economy is shit, even though Biden made all the decisions that caused inflation and high gas prices
>Also the economy is doing great under Biden!
>... until Trump's first week back in office. Now it's bad again and we're pretending to give a fuck about the price of groceries
>it's also Trump's fault that Biden got people killed in Afghanistan, that immigration practically doubled, that Russia is grabbing more land (always happens when a dem is in office), that Biden's green energy deals failed and that everyone thinks Biden is senile.
>>
>>1378554
you forgot to cry about ukraine, shill
>>
>>1378555
>that Russia is grabbing more land
I know, reading is very hard when you're a democrat.
>>
>>1378556
you're not doing it right though. you're supposed to cry about the aid we're sending
>>
>>1378557
Oh I'm sorry. I forgot giving over 100 billion dollars to another country is simultaneously great for our economy and also Trump's fault. My bad for not thinking in democrat anti-logic.
>>
>>1378558
there you go shill. we love to see those tears
>>
>>1378558
Ha you got owned
>>
>>1378558
>I forgot giving over 100 billion dollars to another country is simultaneously great for our economy and also Trump's fault
But you're fully in on Trump giving money to Israel, and have been the whole time.
Cry harder, little bitch shill
>>
>>1378560
Just as we love seeing you cry as Trump fixes Biden's mistakes one at a time.

>>1378569
Oh snap!

>>1378570
>But you're fully in on Trump giving money to Israel, and have been the whole time.
And where did I say that, faggot?
>>
>>1378575
>thinks this eggs costing more is what fixing looks like
No wonder nothing ever gets fixed.
>>
>>1378548
Kinda like how you still blame Bidens (1st) term, while drumpf is floundering on his 2nd? Sounds like a low energy boy to me.
>>
>>1378560
He's so salty :)
>>
>>1378414 (OP)
By not putting all their silicon eggs in one basket - example: their heavy investment in Vietnam recently - US GPU giant & member of the Trillion Dollar Company Club NVidia have made a killing. Four years ago, id Software of Texas gave us the id Tech 7-based DOOM Eternal & two DLCs since. Since then, they haven't been resting on their laurels, no. Just as NVidia have brought out new RTX GPUs in those previous four years, id have built a new games engine id Tech 8 and the first game with such, DOOM: The Dark Ages. One will need at least an RTX 4080 to run the game at it's full graphical best, as there's a LOT of visual data packed in that 100 Gb install file: a far cry from .WAD & .PAK files. But id & NVidia won't be left with egg on their faces, but maybe there'll be a lot of facial omelettes because of one simple fact: 15th May.
Plenty of time for financial fuckups to begin. What'll happen to the economy as a result.
Enjoy your inability to afford upgrade parts to run id's new game due to voting for an orange Mancubus and its retarded need for 'Tariffs'.
Are those RTX 4080/90s made in USA...?!
If not, then the yolk's on you, MAGAtards.
>>
>>1378503
Listen, butt fucker. You're not qualified to have an opinion on this matter.
>>
>>1378585
Because it would hurt your feelings to know you've been played by a grifter(again)?
>>
>>1378417
Letting the chickens live gives the virus time to mutate
>>
>>1378617
Ay look buddy I'm a Trump supporter, I don't care about things I can't see.
>>
>>1378578
>maybe they'll believe me if I keep pretending like I give a fuck about the price of eggs when I clearly didn't two years ago

>>1378580
>Kinda like how you still blame Bidens (1st) term
Except the difference is I can actually point out decisions and policies that Biden made, and how they affected our economy, and your only comeback last thread was DURR RUSSIAN SHILL
>>
>>1378690
Price of eggs wasn't at record highs 2 years ago. We also didn't have every method to address the problem frozen two years ago.
>>
>>1378692
Posting it again:

>>1378690
I wasn't even in the last thread. That was my 1st post on news in a week. You're literally a schitzo. Go take your meds, and beat your meat.
>>
>>1378697
>Grocery prices increased by 11.8 percent in 2022, far ahead of the overall rate of inflation, which was 6.5 percent.
>Current price of eggs: Up 60% compared to last year
Thanks for proving that Trump has already proven to be worse than Biden at his worst.
>>
>>1378701
>2022: The economy is doing great under Biden! Inflation (that he caused) is going down, gas prices (that he caused) are going down, unemployment is going down, etc. I don't get why everyone is upset about the price of eggs.
>2025: OH MY GOD TRUMP HAS BEEN IN OFFICE A FULL WEEK WHY HASN'T HE LOWERED THE COST OF EGGS YET!
>>
>>1378710
Why has Trump decided to cripple any way to address a serious issue with our egg industry?
>>
>>1378730
Why are you pretending to give a fuck about the cost of eggs when you clearly didn't two years ago? Do you think nobody noticed how your economic gaslighting stopped the second Trump took office?
>>
>>1378747
Because the price of eggs wasn't SIXTY PERCENT HIGHER two years ago..
>>
>>1378701
>Current price of eggs: Up 60% compared to last year
"Last year" started 395 days ago and Biden was president for 385 of those days.
Lmao. So it literally 98% of this time period was Biden
Lmao. Your so dumb hahahaha.
>>
>>1378747
why did you suddenly stop giving a fuck about egg prices as soon as your guy was in office?
>>
>>1378750
Most of that increase legitimately happened in the last few weeks.

Again, I'm not blaming Trump for the flu outbreak. I'm blaming him for freezing every single way we have to address it.
>>
so how long into his term before we're allowed to concretely say that egg prices are, in fact, Trump's fault? because i'm willing to bet that they will not for even one single day be lower than they were on January 19th, 2025
>>
>>1378780
depends who you ask. if trump's cock is in their mouth, never
>>
>>1378780
The longer he keeps the CDC, FDA, or NIH from doing their jobs, the more of it is on him.
>>
>>1378777
Because a temporary (it's what day 9?) increase in egg costs isn't as important to me as fixing all of the other many, many, MANY fuck ups that Biden caused, such as the border. If the cost is still high a year from now then I'll eat crow, but I'm not going to let you gaslight me into pretending that you give a fuck about the economy when last year you were saying the economy was great under Biden.
>>
>>1378796
>If the cost is still high a year from now then I'll eat crow
How is it supposed to get lower if Trump has frozen all means of actually addressing the problem? He's already extended this by weeks if not months, because instead of coming up with solutions CDC, FDA, and NIH have been sitting around with no communications allowed and no research grants. The problem is only going to get worse since we can't fucking do anything about it as long as Trump is freezing them.
>>
>>1378780
Considering trump was still being blamed for stuff late 2024 before the elections, four years.
>>
>>1378750
Accurate
>>
>>1378798
>How is it supposed to get lower if Trump has frozen all means of actually addressing the problem?
You're assuming.
>>
>>1378802
Downvoted
>>
>>1378815
CDC and FDA can't do any communications; no recalls, no new regulation, no new guidance. NIH has all their research frozen too, so now ways of prevention, vaccination, or treatment can be researched right now either.

What are we supposed to do? Wait for it to go away? It's not like this type of thing has never happened before, but usually the whole point of those agencies is to isolate and treat these kind of outbreaks. Now they can't do that, so now what are we supposed to do?
>>
>>1378780
>because i'm willing to bet that they will not for even one single day be lower than they were on January 19th, 2025
Why would you think this? I'm not defending Trump or anything, but epidemics are temporary and it is likely that this bird flu will pass and egg prices will go down somewhat.
>>
>>1378485
thats a very interesting way to imply that trump can take credit of whatever good happens, and whatever bad he does can be excused as biden's fault
>>
>>1378489
Insanely high prices.
>>
>>1379224
If demonstrably proven, yes. Biden killed the chickens, which had these delayed pricing effects. Simple economics. it's a case by case thing.
>>
>>1379226
the alternative to not killing the chickens are to leave the chickens infected and spreading disease, laying contaminated eggs that'll be discarded and let the whole herd slowly die out just waiting for the epidemic to be over
If it's simple economics I'm sure you'd understand the consequences of that?
>>
>>1379225
How did Biden cause that?
>>
>>1379240
Biden caused everything bad. Only Trump can fix it because.... reasons.
>>
>>1378462
Trump needs more power, and democrats shouldn't be allowed to eat our food and breath our air. If only those traitors could just fall to hell where they belong.
