Trump's going to order that they stop culling chicken farms due to H5N1 infections, call the disease a mild cold like he did with covid-19 and claim it's not that big of a deal. Nearly instantly, of course, a bird flu pandemic breaks out as the virus mutates to infect humans, but the CDC and NIH will be stopped from making any statements about the disease.

I hate how plausible this sounds.

I really hope it doesn't, but it's just the kind of insanity that he'd pull to try and make good on his promise if his loyalists start actually complaining about it.

All these crazy Executive Orders are just to distract us while they steal our underpants.

They also increase panic buying. It's their shitty way of stimulating an economy.

Phase 3 is just another question mark with "Cheaper eggs" a crumpled up post-it note in the trash

Deport eggs, cheaper immigrants?

In dictatorship the economy almost always is going down, so... As in Soviet Union, there will be no eggs on the shelves at all, enjoy! ...or they will be expensive as fuck.

No what they really want isn't cheaper eggs, but no immigrants.
