Price increases in eggs have largely been due to the outbreaks of avian flu and producers having to cull their stock, anyway. Not something Harris or Biden caused or could wave away with a wand.

he’s so incompetent. Its amazing how often he just walks into the rakes.
VC.
Reality is what you say it is.
(In case any readers are actually wondering; Venture Capitalism - JD Vance is the puppet of Paypal co-founder and Palantir spyware owner Peter Thiel. A far-right billionaire who promised trump millions of dollars if he put his plant, JD Vance, on the ticket so in the event trump wins and keels over (odds are good, yeah?) Peter Theil becomes de facto dictator and . . . does whatever evil a billionaire tech bro can’t get away with on that alone.)
Vulture Capital, more like.

From the video:
“Let’s talk about eggs, Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning.”
There’s just so much that’s weird about that. “These guys” are his 2 sons Ewan (6) and Vivek (4). You’re saying these kids each eat 7 eggs every morning? That’s a lot of eggs. Think about it. 7 fried eggs? Or 7 hard-boiled eggs? If you’re scrambling them, you lose track of the individual eggs, but what, he’s cracking 14 eggs into a huge bowl, then scrambling them? Do you know how much scrambled eggs that’s going to make?
If his boys were teenagers, maybe I could see it, though eating that many eggs every single day would still seem weird. But, at least teenage boys are known to have big appetites.
Even if you include him, his wife and their 2-year-old, roughly 100 eggs a week every week seems odd.
Then there’s just the weirdness of saying “about 14”. We’re talking eggs. Why not “about a dozen”? Slightly more believable, and a more common number to use when talking about eggs. I mean, surely if your kids really loved eggs you’d try to reduce it to a dozen eggs per day just so you’re using one full carton every morning. Then again, if you’re buying hundreds of eggs per month, maybe they come on a pallet, not by the carton, so “a dozen” doesn’t mean much to you.
Vivec? Like, of the Tribunal?
Pssssh, when I was a lad, I ate 4 dozen eggs every morning to help me get large.
i think more than 2 as an adult isn’t a great idea unless you’re tossing out the yolks
He’s an admitted, unashamed liar. Don’t even give him the time of day.
This is probably why his boss hired him in the first place. Good god, Americans. Get out and vote!
A qualification, certainly, but no. He was brought on the ticket for Peter Thiel’s money and no other reason.
He’s really pathetic
Well. At least they used the word lying in the title. The scare quotes don’t help anyone but whatever.
they help the lawyers
Feh.
“So tell us JD, how will you help lower the price of eggs if elected?”
Ok, good.
As a reporter, I’d ask him why, as a current sitting Senator, Vance himself hasn’t done anything to help lower the price of eggs even while his colleagues in the Senate and the House are.

The egg shortage has enabled record quarterly profits and sales at Cal-Maine Foods (CALM), the largest producer and distributor of eggs in the United States. The company produces brands such as Farmhouse Eggs, Sunups, Sunny Meadow, Egg-Land’s Best and Land O’ Lakes eggs.

The problem, once again, is monopolies. Not enough competition means one company can jack up prices.
It’s not clear if Harris will continue Biden’s policies, but one of the best things Biden’s admin has done is to actually go after monopolies for the first time in decades. Under a Trump / Vance presidency, I don’t think that’s very likely.
“Alternative facts” strikes again.
What he’s holding is a flat, not a dozen.
the onion would have said this was too on the nose.
The onion knew it was out gunned by reality, they were wise to pack it in.
They just started printing again, actually
Free market. The companies are responsible for setting the price. Let’s put blame where it belongs: corporate greed. Remember when “They were stealing our jobs,” and not realizing the company was outsourcing their jobs? And how the fuck does someone steal the job you were hired for? Always bothered me as a kid.
Liarrhoea - a continuous stream of shit that puiurs out of the mouths of Trumpist politicians. Lying is a form of breathing to these assholes.
the price behind him was fake news
There’s some irony of this being in Reading, PA…
“The WOKE made the eggs prices skyrocket!!”
