FINGER ON THE PULSE OF THE NATION: ‘Butter’s Over $3?’ Joe Scarborough’s Cluelessness on Everyday Costs Shows Why Trump Won.

Meanwhile, Colorado Democrats are so enthusiastic that they’ve created an egg shortage:

Last year, Colorado introduced a cage-free egg law, HB20-1343, mandating that by January 2025, all egg-laying hens must be housed in open environments.

The law is designed to improve conditions for hens but is also shaking up the egg supply in grocery stores statewide. As a result, grocery store shelves are seeing fewer eggs, leaving many shoppers to turn to local farms for fresh, cage-free options.

“I could expand here. I could probably have 100 chickens here, but that still would not be enough eggs for me to supply a store”, said Green Catching Farm owner Laurel Wilson.

While smaller producers, like Green Catcher Farms, are meeting some of this new demand, their limited supply can’t match the volume required by large retailers. Wilson reports steady interest in her six to eight dozen eggs produced weekly, but says that “supply chain-wise, it’s creating an issue” as smaller farms struggle to fully meet community needs.

“I sell six to eight dozen a week, which is about what my girls are putting out, because I get roughly a dozen a day from them,” said Wilson.

My little household includes two teenage boys so we consume nearly half of Wilson’s weekly production.

I’m curious to see if our well-meaning Dems decide to go for a legal “fix,” and how spectacularly that might backfire.
