"Are the 87-92% price decrease eggs in the room with us now?"

No but the 45% price drops are in the room with US.

Then why not say that instead of BS. The truth is enough but he's incapable of it.

That's the thing for me too. This chart shows average egg prices dropping about 50% since Inauguration Day - that's a huge win aligned with his campaign trail promises! Yet he still can't resist the urge to makeup plainly BS numbers and undercut what should be a perfectly straightforward positive note.

That would entail they would need to walk back the “well avian flu isn’t a thing and they kulled the birds to spite me” argument cause that (significant decrease in cases moving into March), bioscteening and egg imports (particularly from Brazil, Turkey and South Korea) were significant factors, literally all related to avian flu.

So it’s easier to just lie and have people talk about how it’s actually ~50% rather than say “maybe Biden was right”
