The Trump Presidency 2.0

Egg prices aren't down, at least where I'm at.

I haven't seen the $2 break locally, as listed in the article, but mine are definitely cheaper by about $1.

I'll tell you what, my whole worldview on food changed when I started buying grass fed, grass finished beef from the local farms. It's not only cheaper, it's just more healthy. I try to buy free range eggs whenever I can. My next half share comes in July and I can't fucking wait.

Bro, I started buying my meet in 1/8-1/4 cow bulk orders and never looked back. I can verify the source, know what it was fed, and it's way cheaper. Good on you.

Also, as soon as my boy gets his nationwide shipping cleared, I have a great veteran owned and operated company for you all.

I paid over 5 bucks yesterday and I live in a region where chickens roam in abundance....

I watched a Rogan recently, can't remember who his guest was, but she said she has a few chickens and her and all her neighbors never pay anything for eggs. Lol.

Our S&C Coach in the PNW had a whole cottage industry going. The whole squadron was buying that mans eggs and they were delicious.

There is a difference when you get them fresh.

If I didn't live in a damn condo I'd have a whole flock of those little raptor descendants. Chickens are cool.

I can drive within 10 minutes in any direction and there's a sign at the end of at least 10 driveways offering free range butt nuggets. I still buy mine by the flat of XL butt nuggets for under $10. There's also a major poultry facility 20 minutes away.

I buy all my meat from 2 different family operations, both run by long time friends.

I live in an upper level condo and my county doesn't allow for roof top grills, so I don't grill. It sucks. But I'm a huge advocate of the bulk beef buys and it disappoints me more people don't do it. Yes, your ground beef is a bit more expensive, but the offset on the other cuts is tremendous. I have some ground beef that eats like butter and I don't even need to strain it after cooking.

I've nearly stopped eating out since buying my first share. I'm down from 205 to 188 and I can fast all day until dinner, with no hunger, great sleep, and fairly decent energy. I'll pick up on the meals as I start to workout more. Support your local farmer.

Let's go! good for you man, I eat the same way. Crazy isn't it?

I'll eat breakfast on the weekends, but I no longer subscribe to the whole 3 square meals a day thing. That's a western concept and America is fat because of it. A lb of 95/5 ground beef at 650 calories? Sign me up.

Did you mean something other than the 20th?

We used to buy the 5 Dozen at Costco for $7 pretty often. It's now $20...if they have them.

ETA: The cutting of the funding for school to buy from local farms was pretty trash.

Yah this is 2 1/2 dozen for basically $10. I get a dozen from my friends farm for $4.50 occasionally but they are amazing, deep orange yolks. She also has duck eggs which I think are better, the white is a bit more rubbery depending on how you cook it.

So we have been talking about how terrible it would be to shut the government down... I personally don't think it's that big of a deal, but watching Dems refuse to sign the exact same CR they voted for 2 times prior to this admin has been a bright spot in my day. Cue the dems voting to shut the government down and then blaming trump in 3, 2, 1...

FWIW, I don't like the CR, it's full of crap we are supposed to be cutting, and we don't have the votes for cloture- so the status quo from republicans remains. The game is what the game is.

All I ask is that if they shut it down they at least take until Wednesday to fix it.
My chore list for this weekend is pretty big and I wouldn't mind an extra day or two to knock it all out in one go.

That would be respectful AND should qualify on your 5 bullets list when you get back. Win/Win.

I am not sure what Chuck Schumer is doing here, but he's violating rule 1 of politics- let your opponent fail and stay out of the way. The stock market is a bloodbath, Americans are souring on the economy- why would you ever organize your side to take any part in that??

Now, Trump gets to say "We tried! But these silly dems stopped us, now the government is shut down. I was TRYING to get the economy going- inflation cooled, gas was down, eggs are down... but they just hate me so they shut it down!" Fun fact, the Executive has almost unilateral authority to decide *who exactly is essential when a shut down happens*.

So one the Dems' biggest reason not to sign this CR is "oversight of DOGE" they want included, and only for a month... but you're willing to shut the government down, get a big ole helping of "the democrats own this shut down", AND the president gets to decide who is staying home and where to point DOGE next?

Uh, bold move, cotton. Let's see how this plays out!

I'm a T32 tech, so (for now), I don't have to do 5 bullets; I just get to respond saying "I'm rank so and so and my job is x for the NG". No idea what sense it makes for me to do it every week, but I'm also not on ketamine so who knows?

As to the Dems shutting down, I think they're hoping the average American won't pay attention. Us politically involved people might remember the Republican led shutdowns under Obama; most people blamed those on the President, not the opposition party.

Schumer is probably hoping a similar thing will happen here, but the information landscape and media savvy of this administration is different; I fully agree Trump can spin this in a way previous presidents haven't.
