Have they tried substituting smaller cakes for the eggs?

That was the “joke” from the first time around. The French version uses brioche which is just even more fancy bread.

Maybe a parallel would be “the peasants have no eggs!” -> “let them eat omelettes!”

Someone needs to update this for eggs…

“Hey, I need you all to calm down. I’m laying these as fast as I can.”

I mean, price of eggs is way down …. Humor can’t match reality

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go.

If it was truly her that said it, she would have been even younger than that. The book in which it’s written (which is known to not be fully factual and in which the quote is attributed to “a great princess”) was written when Antoinette was 9 years old. But it wasn’t published until she was 26, eight years after she became queen.

“If they have no bread, let them eat cake.” sounds like something I would expect a 6-7yo who had never gone without luxury food to say.

Ah, but online high schools/credit recovery. The French Revolution is often covered in a fifteen minute video with four multiple choice questions and a short response (which is almost always turned in with an obviously AI generated answer, and marked with 100% because there’s no longer an expectation that a teacher be qualified to teach their subject - a high school diploma is enough in Oklahoma)

I’d met with a high schooler over zoom (thirty minutes once a week was the requirement) - “hey, tell me what you thought about that American Civil War unit you just completed?” - and they wouldn’t be able to name the century the war happened, had no idea who Abraham Lincoln was, couldn’t name the Confederacy - hell, didn’t recognize that the American Civil War happened in the United States.

My current role as a tutor (because most high schools would rather have an unqualified high school grad that a transsexual union member with a masters degree - and tbh, getting a school bomb threats on the off chance that LibsOfTikTok targets me is not a risk I feel I can expose others too) shocks me. You have long term subs that don’t understand the pre algebra concepts teaching Algebra 2 and Pre Calc. (Every time I hear the term “cross multiply” I cringe in preparation for the horror I’m about to see)

But yes - education is 100% that bad in southern states.

She had a fake rural village built so she could cosplay as a peasant, though, so it’s not far off.

Well, he made the cost of eggs one of his main campaign topics. He had absolute control over that.

They did fire a bunch of people working on bird flu…

There are people who will argue about bird flu influencing the price. However, when it comes to the Trump Administration, they will only blame the previous administration. They won’t try to take any responsibility for failing to meet the expectations of lowering the price that they promised.

I think bird flu is a convenient excuse for price gouging, just like we saw during pandemic. He could easily address that if he wanted to. He just doesn’t care.

When he ran on that specific thing he better figure it out. And why is America seeing increases when other places are not?

Egg supplies in the US are down like 5%. The price bullshit isn’t just from that.

EDIT: Because I know some people will want some hard numbers, I looked some up quickly.

USDA report puts some hard numbers on American egg production (Published: February 20, 2025, so these are 2024 numbers)

The average number of egg-laying hens fell to 375 million, a 2 percent drop from the previous year, while egg production declined 1 percent to 109 billion eggs. The total U.S. chicken inventory also decreased by 2 percent, reaching 514 million birds.

Despite a modest rise in broiler chicken prices, egg prices have surged. In late January, the wholesale price for large eggs in New York soared to $7.46 per dozen — more than double last year’s $2.94. USDA now projects an annual average egg price of $4.44 per dozen.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza remains a major driver of price fluctuations. Though the report does not account for recent bird losses in 2025, economist Bernt Nelson of the American Farm Bureau Federation estimates that 43 million birds were lost in January and February alone — representing 25 percent of all birds affected since the outbreak began in 2022. These losses suggest continued price volatility as producers work to rebuild flocks.

Now, the article does mention the recent bird infections being higher at 25%, however look at the specific wording used. “representing 25 percent of all birds affected since the outbreak began in 2022”. So it’s saying the recent infections and kills represent that amount from the last 2+ years of avian flu infections, not a sudden spike of 25% of the current supply.

The down votes are because people are mad that you’re right.

However they made it a campaign issue so it’s fair game

“The prices need to be this high!” /insert picture of sieg heil/

Petah says, “Unlike a carnival ride, ‘this high’ is literally over one’s head. As in, we’re in over our heads.”

Why would do you want to get your apartments involved? The chickens are for you, not for your tenants. Just build the coop at your mansion’s backyard.

Raccoons will brutalize them. Lost both of my chickens to a raccoon the size of a damn dog.
