    Huh i always thought the neoliberal Republican party was in favor of the free market. Why don’t other states simply support their local egg producers and sell cheaper eggs from unhealthy chickens

      What they claim and what they actually support has always been different. They hate the free market. They want to pick the winners, and fill their own pockets.

      It’s fine if they’re hiking prices for profit and to screw the average consumer. It’s an issue if they raise prices to support a “woke agenda”. The problem is the prices are being raised to better the lives of the chickens and Republicans hate that.
