It Begins

I know, I know I should’ve already, but I’m going full fucking vegan due to this pandemic.

The entire animal meat industry is cooked.

What’s a human bird?

I get the feeling this type of reporting is mainly used to “justify” eggs doubling in price since Nov. The financial sector is well known for pushing any narrative (often true ones, doesn’t really matter) then responding by fucking the country harder. When people inevitably discover it was all a rouse in a year or whatever (they’ve used this excuse for three years now. It’s already been shown to be a scam… they’re just shameless as fuck continuing the same lie) NBC, etc. will ignore that truth, people who know what happened are called “conspiracy theorists” but perhaps most importantly… “remember! There’s nothing the government can ever do about rising food prices! Legitimate reasons or corporate inflation, it doesn’t matter! “Price caps and (if required) forced rationing?” No, no, no, NO! You commie scum! No! You don’t understand. You must simply… die. That’s all. Have a great day, fuck you, please die quietly. Thank you.”

None of this is to say we shouldn’t report on avian flu. Or research it to keep an eye on the spread. That’s not the point. It’s just when egg prices randomly double in two months we suddenly see this reporting to “explain” what already happened. For those with particular pain fetishes who follow business-bro news, this same cycle happens over and over in every sector. Real news is used to “explain” trends in the markets. But if you look even slightly beyond the surface it’s very clear that news often doesn’t drive this stuff. Definitely not in a one-to-one way, anyway. Whenever someone is trying to explain away something using simple “supply & demand, bro!” logic, it’s probably safe to assume they’re lying or ignorant.

Anyway, if you’re betting this rant was triggered by my recent shopping trip, you are correct. I’m about to start a grub farm in my basement or something for cheap protein.
