She says it's a silver lining. More guano than silver, maybe.

I’d have them if I lived where I could. The eggs are better and the meat of a pasture raised bird is a lot better.

Yeah, but slaughtering and cleaning chickens is a nasty job. But...It's easier if you don't want the skin. Instead of scalding and plucking, you just skin and gut.

How do you know you're getting your chickens back?

What is the magical egg replacement?
I’m talking about a “flax egg.” This is an egg substitute that vegans and people with egg allergies have used for a long time. You mix flaxseed with water to get an “eggy” texture, then use it as you would an egg in any baking recipe.
Flaxseed is a handy egg substitute because it’s shelf-stable and extremely cheap. You can buy a bag of ground flaxseed at pretty much any grocery store. It will probably be in the baking aisle. I buy mine at Aldi, where it retails for $3.85 a bag. Each bag of Aldi’s flaxseed contains 60 tablespoons, which is equivalent to 60 eggs. Therefore, each flax egg costs about six cents. It’s amazingly budget-friendly!
and
For each egg you want to replace, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about five minutes. If you’re making a recipe that calls for two eggs, then you would use 2 tablespoons of flaxseed and 6 tablespoons of water. (Don’t replace more than two eggs with flax in a recipe, though.)
I think you can also use yoghurt as a substitute.

Two stores, no eggs.
I hate shortages. Shortages are always and everywhere a policy choice and an unnecessary one at that.
Give me $18 eggs if you need to, but have them on the goddam shelf when I come.

I guess the stores don't want to be accused of price gouging.

Due to President Trump or President Biden?

Just think of it as a 10% off…
Seriously? I get the concern and I don’t see the logic in what he’s doing other than setting a madman baseline. And I think my income is probably more current economy based than most of yours. But I’m not going to rush to conclusions and am a little more willing to wait and see. Maybe I’m wrong, but what am I going to do either way? Buckle up and hope that I’m right, and that if I’m wrong the United Stated relationships and the global economy can take it.
IT DOES HELP THAT I’ve sent Luke’s final tuition bill in…

Congratulations!
Next question is: Will the labor market look good for Luke after he graduates?
