He already did. Even said eggs were down 69% (any bets where he got that number).

He should retire immediately, he'd be a legend.

I thought you were talking about JPow; I have no idea why on earth anyone would stick around attempting to clean up such a poopy mess with nothing to look forward to other than being scapegoated to hell and back when he inevitably fails.

Absolutely insane to say that eggs are down, they're literally still sky-high in my area of Ohio.

They're literally more expensive than they were while the news cycle was screeching about them.

I haven't even seen a $9 carton of eggs until like, last month. Before that they were always 3-4. Maybe like $5 or $6 for a week? I never understood the egg shit

I live in California btw

They were $2.50-3.50 here, and now they're ~$6 most of the places near me.

Just got back from Costco in Los Angeles and they are $7.69 for two dozen. Costco price used to be about $5 for the two dozen.

Insane.

I don't actually use or eat eggs often so the last time I remember actually buying them they were like $1.39 a dozen. That was maybe 2023?
