The major egg supplier for most of the grocery stores decided not to buy as many pullets to replace the ones they culled from Avian Flu, and then the second and third largest also followed suit. As a result there was a bug supply crunch that coincided with Avian Flu cullings. Unless Biden was there making command decisions about how many pullets to buy that year he had nothing to do with it.

Not disagreeing, but all I heard was Biden-flation (or whatever they called it) was why we needed a new President.

  It could have been investigated. Even this article states prices went down as a likely result of the investigation. Turning a blind eye bears some culpability. All we heard during those years was that it was due to avian flu shortage, and if you mentioned otherwise, you got shouted down by politically connected people.

  If all you needed was a new president you could have chosen the other option.

  Perhaps people were lying to you in order to make you want that new president...

  > all I heard was Biden-flation Listen to different sources then. It's weird to complain that when you listened to overt pathological liars, all you heard were lies.

    Ha ha, I'm just voicing what the right-wing pundits were (apparently successfully) pushing. (I've recognized them as liars since Day 1, but I only get my one vote. Apparently my sarcasm in previous comments was unrecognizable.)

    Apparently vox populi. A majority of the U.S. must frequent those sites. (I'm beginning to think some people missed the sarcasm in my earlier posts.)

      All good deadpan deserves a downvote?

        I think you're right. I should celebrate the downvotes. ;-)

      >(I'm beginning to think some people missed the sarcasm in my earlier posts.) Yep. Given the forum and that you've been around here at least ten years, why would you think folks wouldn't take you at your word? Be aware of Poe's Law[0]. Especially since there are way too many folks (I can think of at least a dozen or so off the top of my head) who would say the same thing unironically.
