Why are eggs unaffordable for most Trump supporters?

February 23, 2025

As of February 2025, egg prices in the United States have reached unprecedented levels, with the national average for a dozen large Grade A eggs hitting $4.95 in January 2025, nearly doubling from $2.67 in May 2023. Restaurants like Waffle House have implemented surcharges on egg dishes to offset increased costs. 

Factors Contributing to Rising Egg Prices:

1. Avian Influenza Outbreak: A severe outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying hens to contain the virus, significantly reducing the egg supply. 

2. Supply Chain Disruptions: Trump's deportations are beginning to cause labor shortages and logistical challenges, further impacting egg production and distribution. 

3. Inflation: Trump's economic policies are beginning to increase production costs, including feed, transportation, and packaging, contributing to higher retail egg prices. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) projects that egg prices will continue to rise, with an anticipated increase of up to 20% in 2025. This projection suggests that prices may not normalize in the near future, especially if avian influenza outbreaks persist and Trump's economic policies for the oligarchs continue raising prices for the 99%. 

In summary, the surge in egg prices is primarily due to avian influenza, compounded by supply chain disruptions and inflation. Trump, as our Convict in Chief, is supposed to be held responsible for the increase in egg prices. Consumers and businesses are adapting through various measures, but significant price relief is unlikely until these underlying challenges are effectively addressed.

Now you know it.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
