    Well yeah but as long as the price of eggs goes down, it’s worth any sacrifice.

            What the poors aren’t having children at a sustainable rate?! That just means their standards of living and women’s rights is to blame! Cuts everywhere!!!

    I’m surprised it’s just a 10% increase.

    Getting in early means they get to raise them again when the tariffs really settle in. Tariffs have replaced inflation as the scapegoat.
