Nothing never changes, but Hamas has revealed that no matter the technical capabilities of the raiders, having depth of personnel is the essential metric of survival today, as it has always been.
You responded, we must be reaching the clear to partly pouty stage. I'll man up here and apologize for being rude and I was only attributing it to that one comment on your behalf. Not that you were insulting me in your usual mannerism of something or the other, sometimes when dealing with a more formidable force, it makes the small stuff aggravating to deal with.
I highly doubt there's much left in the harden forces of Hamas in Gaza and more likely a bill of goods we are being sold to continue on with the genocide occurring over there. I am assuming there's a good chance of why we are seeing these on again, off again, hiring and firing going on, when people are focused on their own survival, it's hard for them to focus on the survival of others. It's easy to sell a bill of goods under those circumstances.
You told me to post elsewhere than your blog. It's your blog, so I respected your wishes.
You're probably right about Hamas, since they were formed and have been funded and facilitated by Israel.
I meant your egg nonsense. It was pretty conclusive. The chart sprung up the moment he left office, it takes time to do trade deals. He signed the deal the last few days of his admin. Sure inflation pays a part in the price of eggs. I had never denied that, but so does heavy demand put on them and especially in a time when egg production was declining due to their bird flu. I swear to god Ralph, if I said turn left, you'd turn right.
Demand for eggs is not 'heavy'. The supply of eggs has been wrecked by government eradicating hundreds of millions of laying hens with phony claims of 'bird flu' that hasn't killed a dozen chickens AFAICT. Reduced supply has the same inflationary impact on price that increased demand does.
UN-FACT: >eradicating hundreds of millions
Two years ago in my op: Tucker Carlson and His Spin The Tale On The Chickens, there were, according to department of agriculture official, 372 million chickens in the US. If each of those chickens (which not all will, right now the stat is 82.5 or 85.2 out of each hundred without having to go look at some figures I have been gathering), but if each chicken were to produce an egg a day back then, that would leave 46 million eggs left over if every man, women and child was given one egg a day. The next day the process starts all over. But to argue your point, there isn't hundreds of millions of chickens in the US, there are hundreds of millions of eggs, actually billions.
The white house Easter egg roll, egg industry suppliers of the event, said there were 9 million one dozen large eggs sold every day in the US. The small and medium eggs, they said, weren't for retail sales. If they are not selling the small and medium eggs in the country anymore, where are they? You don't see them hardly anymore, once in awhile you see medium eggs but it's rare.
I don't know why you think the USDA knows how many chickens there are in the USA. They might know how many chickens are in commercial farms, but there are a lot of folks that do not keep chickens for commercial purposes. There are even people that keep chickens secretly, indoors, because of a variety of reasons, such as recent efforts to register every chicken, even every parakeet, by the UK. So, the USDA does not know how many chickens there are in the USA.
Chickens do not lay an egg every day. If you keep them in environmentally controlled conditions under lights they will lay eggs most days, depending on breed. IME good breeds of chickens lay ~300 eggs a year. So those are things you can reconsider to try to come up with some kind of estimate of how many chickens there are in the US.
However, you make both these statments as facts:
So, you contradict yourself, and clearly don't understand what you're talking about, or you're trying to mislead me. Either way, I can't take you seriously.
Honestly, reports from serious folks claiming to know are that more than 150M chickens were euthanized over 'bird flu'. So, despite everything I just said, and proved you wrong about, you're right that 150M, or any number south of 200M, isn't 'hundreds of millions' of chickens. It's close, but no cigar. Hoist by my own petard, I concede that you are right about my claim. It is slightly hyperbolic. It is close enough to being correct to properly convey the horrific culling that has produced the egg shortage.
Shortage of supply, just like massive demand, affects price. Egg prices are falling towards normalcy even now, as the earliest culled flocks have been replaced with new layers. I just saw a carton of eggs that had been purchased at my local market for $4.29, when just a week or so ago they were $8.29, and that was down from the high, which hit over $12, so I think the problem is resolved - in the short term.
The fact there was a problem at all, because government was trying to drum up a panic, is a long term problem that will not be easily resolved, but will take people rolling their own, and not just regarding eggs, but most of the goods and services they consume. When the vast majority of people produce the vast majority of products they consume, government will become irrelevant, because there will be nothing to tax. If people aren't buying what they need, then people won't be selling stuff to make money. That's how we solve the problem of tyranny: just make government irrelevant by making dependence obsolete and becoming economically independent. I am working on doing exactly that, and providing a template that folks can use to produce the majority of the goods they need to regularly purchase themselves instead.
Edit:
They are used commercially, for cake mixes and the like produced by factories.
