Get your own chickens! USDA's partial remedy for high egg prices

Eggs are selling for an average of $5 a dozen. In response, the U.S. government is telling people to get their own chickens. Well, kind of. On Feb. 26, the USDA announced a plan to reduce egg prices. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins laid out a five-pronged attack that includes making it easier for people to keep their own egg-producing chickens. Rollins’ plan doesn’t elaborate how the USDA will “minimize burdens” so consumers can more easily harvest homegrown eggs, but the fact that the government is telling people to do something that fosters self-sufficiency is a good sign that we actually have someone in government who cares about our well-being. Speaking of self-sufficiency, we should all be more independent. Hey y’all, please subscribe to this Substack if you enjoy my ranting and writings.
