The working class is struggling to afford eggs and incumbent party campaigned on social stuff and the opposition's shitty personal history. Things people don't give a fuck about if they can't afford eggs.

Wait, what’s this meme? Wasn’t the price of eggs something big in Russia? https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/in-moscows-shadows/id1510124746?i=1000640794168 https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/in-moscows-shadows/id1...

  Butter. Prices for butter climed so high we have to import it from UAE.

How much are eggs in the US? I just did some googling and I assume the sources are wrong because all the prices they quote for eggs are really low.

  They more than doubled in price in December, and now they cost the same as in the UK, it's tragic.

    Doesn't sounds like they're unaffordable to working class people at all then. They're affordable in the UK and working class Americans are richer than working class Brits.

  Commodities in the US are often cheap by European standards. Gas for $4/gallon is considered outrageously expensive in the US, meanwhile in the Netherlands it's close to €2/L, or $8/gallon.

      You're out of touch. Yuppies without empathy for the working class can't understand why the price of groceries (not just eggs, but eggs exemplify the problem) is relevant because you lot are making north of six figures anyway.

        I don't earn 6 figures (sadly); those eggs are affordable.

The price of eggs has gone up primarily due to bird flu, which doesn't care who you voted for.

Not American, not political, but this. What the hell is the left doing but focussing on a few ideological fringe fights?
