Secondly, even the reduced argument itself on the surface looks dumb. Eggs are commonly seen as a basic source of food - filling, nutritious, and reasonably priced. So when someone says "lol you want cheaper eggs what's wrong with you," my reaction is like... the fuck? You want this basic piece of literal life-sustaining food and nourishment NOT to cost as little as possible?

It's not really what you're talking about here but yes, correct, I do not want eggs to cost as little as possible, because that requires factory farming and a huge amount of animal suffering. I'm not even a vegetarian, much less a vegan, but it seems reasonable to me for animal products to be somewhat expensive. So like, I'm way more concerned with how hard it is to find vegetables at reasonable prices than eggs (this goes back to your "everything has gone up in price" point, which is correct). Note: the current price increase is not because of better conditions for chickens so it's not really relevant in 2025, but my point here is there's a middle point that exists between skyrocketing prices and "as low as possible".

Anyway the reason most people (who aren't me) make fun of "but eggs" is because Trump is a fucking economic disaster and everyone should know that. If you want cheaper eggs he might literally have been the single worst person in the entire country to elect.
