Trump has turned me into a complete vegetarian. No meat of any kind.

I just went to the grocery store. There is no meat or fish that I can afford.

Probably a good thing came out of all this chaos. I still can get yogurt and cottage cheese.
And I got eggs.
Even chicken legs and thighs are sky high.

If enough people did this, if it became a movement, several things would happen:
1) big ag, major contributors to the Chomo in Chief, would suffer
2) Fox would begin to do stories on a connection between vegetables and cancer

And no one seems to be buying. The prices are insane… not in the crazy eddie way.
Waiting for supply and demand to kick in… they’re always quick to raise prices and
slooooow to bring them down. Something about maximizing profits, at our expense.
