As someone who doesn't live in the US, how has this got so out of hand? Are there not vaccinations, birds being kept indoors/segregated to stop the spread? It's here in the UK too but it's not tearing through the country like this.
From my understanding, the antivaxxers are in the food chain regulation now.
We call it factory farming, which is different than ranching. You pack thousands of chickens into a giant warehouse together.
Vaccines don't do much in an environment like that. And the federal government is being gutted by Nazis currently so that doesn't help.
Yeah that's bleak, although we do have factory farms here too. Perhaps it's just the scale of it in the US.
I get that, but eggs aren't a commodity yet non factory farmed egg prices are also soaring.
This. Is. Greed.
I've been paying the same price for local free-range eggs for four years.
But yes, the egg cartels and large grocery stores are fixing the prices too. Better to not buy from folks like that rather than supporting their oligopoly.
More like millions of birds.
Ever since Trump's first time in office we've been losing protections and regulations left and right (which Biden could have fixed). Everything is just going to get worse and worse and worse.
