"I wonder how many of these farmers voted for Trump, and how they're feeling about Trump's blatant inaction." They can't be terribly happy. Got this from the Google AI response. Maybe Trump will give them tariff money. Since February 2022, more than 157 million birds have been affected by bird flu in the United States, including millions of chickens and ducks. Chickens In December and January, 41.4 million birds were culled due to bird flu exposure, which was three times more than the same period in the previous year. In central California, more than 4 million birds have been lost to the outbreak. Ducks In December and January, commercial duck farms in New York and California euthanized more than 200,000 ducks. In New York, a farm was forced to kill an entire flock of 100,000 ducks. Overall impact More than 82 million farmed birds have been culled since February 2022. The highest number of deaths have been reported in Iowa, Ohio, and California. Why cull birds? Birds are culled because they will get infected and die if left untreated. Culling is not about food supply and demand. Other animals affected Bird flu has also infected cows and pigs.

On the frontline against bird flu, egg farmers fear they're losing the battle (NPR) I wonder how many of these farmers voted for Trump, and how they're feeling about Trump's blatant inaction. Grow up. Trump has fuck all to do with egg prices. You want blame? Look at your People's State of Kalifornia. First to outlaw safe, clean, indoor cages for egg laying hens. Send them all out to mingle with their wild, flu infected, avian cousins, so they can all die from the disease or from being culled.. CA's mini me, copy cat red states had to follow suit, of course. Cage free, cluck cluck, happy little (dead) chickens result. You want cheap eggs again? Shit can that ill advised mandate and $1.99 a dozen eggs will return. Personally, I don't mind paying 10 bucks a dozen for free range, heritage eggs because they're tastier and have higher levels of healthy nutrients. I eat two every morning, fried in butter..
