At first I thought it was blown out of proportion, too. After watching the video, I can only say that if he did that in Germany, he would have been arrested on stage. Let's see what topic-relatedly, profoundly knowledgeable Benito Mussolini, allegedly, had to say:

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."

Ah, ok, thanks Benito! Enjoy your fascism that you voted for, America. I hope those egg prices will go down (they won't).

I hope those egg prices will go down (they won't).

They might, since deregulation is another of Trump's plans. Then the producers can save money by not bothering to keep dangerous substances out of the food, or the water, or the air... and pass those "savings" on to the consumers.

and pass those “savings” on to the consumers.

More likely that they pocket those savings for extra profit and the prices stay the same.

Hey, but they didn't go up! 🥴

Don’t be so sure about the not going up part. Prices will always go up!

Deregulating the industry while we're on the cusp of a bird flu epidemic and after pulling out of WHO. 💀

These fucking dorks obsess over the fall of the Roman empire but they're so full of American chauvinism (they've grown around the mythology of a settler state after all) that they can't go "ah, fuck, it was the rich people who killed it", they blame the barbarians iNvAdInG.

Absolute brainrot.

If you don't need to look for Avian flu, or stop selling eggs from sick Chickens, then cost savings can be passed on to customers, and no one will notice increased healthcare costs/deaths. Cheap eggs y'all.

That only works for so long before shit like the avian flu kills all the flocks.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 2 points 12 hours ago

Then all the fast-food places can buy the dead chickens for cheap and again pass the savings on to the soon to very ill consumer. Glorious plan!

Maybe arrested and then let go without any consequences. These guys are too rich to have proper punishments.
