It’s not about egg prices. It’s a shorthand for inflation, it’s nailing Trump supporters down to this one metric

These people are divorced from truth, but they want eggs. It’s hard to ignore how much eggs cost. It’s apparent how the egg section is half empty

This is a drum beat for people to look through their lying eyes, to pay attention to the world around them despite the lies

I also want to say, if you read the Bible front to back, it’s the story of a people fucking up. The people do terrible things, a hero teaches them to be better, the heroes turn villain (or, rarely, wander off into the sunset when their role is complete), and the institutions rot.

It’s not a story of a better people, it’s a story of people doing better
