What would we do without government interfering in our lives? Live more freely and less expensively, probably.
In Michigan, the powers that be in government just made it harder for poor families to purchase eggs — something which has gotten extremely expensive thanks to inflation and bird flu to begin with — by mandating all eggs sold in the state be ‘cage free.’
This is a choice that consumers should be free to make, not one dictated by petty tyrants in Lansing:
🚨ALERT🚨  beginning January 1 Michigan businesses will only be allowed to sell cage free eggs. This is what is happening at the Kroger near me. Almost completely out of eggs. pic.twitter.com/E46LvzJZyU

She’s rich, so it doesn’t impact her.
I do have a soft spot for the poor hens but it’s been proven that cage-free factory farms are worse than the cages were and I think the government should not tell us what we can and can’t sell or eat.

Yet there they are.
And they won’t stop with eggs.
Another tax on the poor just trying to get their eggs. The Lansing egg dictator has spoken🙄

The poor are always hardest hit.
Soon Lansing will demand an increase in food stamps because eggs are just too darned expensive.
I have a feeling people will start buying their own chickens

Whitmer will outlaw chicken ownership, just like she outlawed buying seeds during COVID.
THIS. IS. CRAZY. Just picked up dozen eggs today & prices were jacked up & out of nearly all. Same thing happened last week & I had just assumed it was pre-Christmas rush. BUT now ladies comment makes sense: “Those better be some damn happy hens at that price.” 1/ https://t.co/L6BOjbubru

It’ll only get worse.
I can’t believe the lady that banned the sale of seeds during Covid would do this. https://t.co/g03AEeJNJb

Totally on brand for that witch.
Virtue signaling garbage. Cage free chickens are crammed together in their own filth. Just not in a cage. https://t.co/oG3k52hQ58

That’s all it is.
Why does @GovWhitmer hate poor children?
They shouldn’t have access to CHEAPER EGGS?
She only wants rich people to have protein packed, nutritious food? https://t.co/4hjEnRwCed

Yes.
This has been in place since last year in Washington State. Our prices have skyrocketed, and the supply is always short of eggs.
These illegal and dangerous laws must be overturned. https://t.co/XEyUhZpgIv

The cost and shortages are the point.
