US egg prices crash 86% since March highs, and Gas Prices Continue to Fall

Actually Biden's insane policy of killing entire flocks of birds when one was diagnosed with bird flu instead of quarantining them for a month or two DIRECTLY lead to higher egg prices. Fortunately Trump has reversed that insane policy.
Biden's policy? Are you crazy? He made no such decision. That post was an example of why Trumpys should be laughed at. You buy lies and when they are refuted, you move to the next. You cannot think that you were believing a lie before and were wrong.

During Trump 1.0 production increased by 4,123 Million BPD During the Biden administration oil production increased 532 thousand barrels a day over Trump 1.0 all time high.
Interesting where did you get these figures from. out of you ass?
According to this https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPUS2&f=M
When Trump first came into office it was 9079 MBPD and it did go up to 12998 in Nov 2019 then dropped to 9723 in May of 2020
and when he left office it was only at 11156 MBPD in Jan 2021
That is a total increase of only 2079 MBPD under Trump, from when he took office till when he left.
Biden took over it was 11156 MBPD and in Jan 2025 it was 13140 MBPD a total increase of 2082 that is 3MBPD MORE then what they did under Trump.
You can figure it out it is all here just read it.

It isn’t “Biden’s insane policy”, it has been practiced since the first occurrence of bird flu in the USA.

“The first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in poultry in the United States occurred during the fall and winter of 1924-1925, leading to significant culling of affected flocks. This was part of efforts to control the disease and prevent its spread”. Centers for Disease

Biden's secretary of agriculture was over the USDA who culled entire flocks instead of quarantining them.

Viruses tend to get less virulent because when the host dies off and it leaves the other hosts that have weaker viruses left to become the prevalent strain..( A basic principle of virology) It is one of the reasons we no longer have a Spanish Flu problem. The weaker viruses then become more prevalent That is why weaker strains of COVID emerged. When we kill off EVERY bird exposed to Bird Flu the weaker and survival strains also die out when they should be encouraged to become the prevalent strain instead. Quarantining allows the natural process of selecting a weaker virus to occur.

They have done so for decades. They don’t quarantine the sick birds. Killing the infected is the safest method.
Not really. Another thing that is causing the problem is some state laws require laying hens to be free range. That allows the hens to come into contact with migratory birds. Free range hens have a much higher rate of Bird flu than caged hens have.

Trump tried to fill the SPR to the brim and the Democrat Congress said NO! Then Biden drained the SPR to the lowest point in decades.
So what does that have to do with the amount of out put the US oil producers put out?

That is not what this says is it?
It is all there all you have to do is read it and maybe get a third grader help you with the math.
 
Tbird's already been told. Maybe he has Dem-nesia.

Well what did Trump do to make the price of oil go down?

I'm glad you asked.

Although U.S. presidents have limited direct control over gasoline prices, which are driven mainly by global supply-demand dynamics, crude oil costs, refining capacity, and events like pandemics or geopolitical conflicts., President Trump (or should I call him "King Trump"?) took several actions aimed at reducing gasoline prices, primarily through policies designed to boost domestic oil and gas production, deregulate the energy sector, and influence global oil markets.

Trump's approach centered on an "energy dominance" agenda, which he pursued in both his first term (2017–2021) and early second term (2025–present).

He instituted measures to increase U.S. oil supply to flood the market and lower global crude prices (oil is ~50–60% of gas costs).

To accomplish this, he helped to open federal lands/waters for leasing and facilitated drilling permits. Earlier this year, he declared a "national energy emergency" to cut red tape and deliver on a campaign promise.

Want me to go on, or do you think you could have looked all that up yourself?
 
The 2022 hen cull due to avian influenza was unusual in its scale and impact. Here's why:
  1. Magnitude of Losses: The 2022-2023 avian influenza outbreak was one of the deadliest in U.S. history, with over 58 million birds, including egg-laying hens, culled. This was significantly higher than previous culls, such as during the 2014-2015 bird flu. The sheer number of birds killed in 2022 disrupted the egg supply chain more severely than prior incidents.
  2. Widespread Geographic Impact: Unlike some earlier outbreaks that were more regionally confined, the 2022 outbreak affected nearly every state, making it a nationwide issue. This broad geographic spread amplified the supply shock, as there were fewer unaffected regions to compensate for losses.
  3. Economic and Supply Chain Fallout: The cull led to a sharp reduction in egg production, causing egg prices to surge dramatically—doubling or tripling in some cases by late 2022. This was unusual compared to smaller, more contained outbreaks in the past that had less pronounced effects on national egg prices.
  4. Comparison to Historical Norms: While avian flu outbreaks are not uncommon (they occur cyclically, often spread by migratory wild birds), the 2022 outbreak stood out due to its virulence and the high number of commercial flocks affected. Previous culls, like those in 2003 or 2015, were significant but didn’t match the 2022 scale in terms of both bird losses and economic disruption.
  5. Compounding Factors: The 2022 cull was exacerbated by existing pressures like inflation, rising feed costs, and new cage-free regulations in some states, which made recovery slower and more costly. This combination of factors made the cull's impact more severe than in typical years.
In summary, the 2022 hen cull was unusual due to its unprecedented scale, widespread geographic impact, and significant economic consequences, marking it as one of the most disruptive avian influenza events in recent history. USDA indemnity payments totaled over $1.1 billion since 2022.

Furthermore, during the Biden presidency, new laws requiring eggs to be from cage-free hens came into effect in several Democrat-dominated states, which led to higher production costs since cage-free systems can be more expensive to maintain. These laws further complicated supply issues, especially for cage-free egg producers who were disproportionately affected.

Biden's overall mismanagement of the economy also inflicted general inflationary pressures, including higher costs for feed, fuel, and labor, and also contributed to the rise in egg prices. Farmers faced increased expenses in maintaining their flocks, which was then reflected in the retail price of eggs.
 
Eggs were very high in March. Who was president then?

Takes time to rebuild flocks after a massive cull, it turns out.

It is bad timing for this thread. There is a Salmonella problem resulting in a recall of many eggs. Why did Trump allow that?

If you're blaming Trump for that, how come you didn't blame Biden for avian influenza? Rhetorical question.

BTW,

There is no single, massive Salmonella outbreak dominating headlines in October 2025. Instead, public health agencies like the CDC and FDA are tracking several ongoing or recently reported multistate outbreaks, with cases accumulating throughout the year.

None of the current outbreaks involve poultry explicitly, and there's no evidence Trump's team delayed responses here.
