On Wednesday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shared its latest update on consumer prices, showing that the average cost of a dozen large grade A eggs increased nearly $1 in a single month—to $5.89. February's price jump is the largest since 1980–even after adjusting for inflation and beats the record set by January's price data. 

This historic run of egg-price surge stems from H5N1 avian influenza—or bird flu—hitting poultry producers hard this winter. The increase came after a new version of the virus emerged in wild migratory birds in September 2024 and then jumped to domesticated fowl.

I posted a few times in the last month that culling 100mn chickens tends to have an effect on the market price.

It is apparent that Ukraine, at great cost, is hurting Russia through its drone attacks on oil and gas facilities.

 

It is no surprise therefore to find Trump focusing his attentions on a ceasefire on attacks on infrastructure. He is seemingly parroting Moscow's desires and dressing them up as progress on the peace negotiations. This is completely dishonest.

 

The reality is that Trump is not an honest broker, places all the pressure on Ukraine and agrees to whatever Putin wants. If he really wants peace, he should support Ukraine in any way he can with their attacks on Russian infrastructure in order to force Putin to compromise. Oil and gas is the lifeblood of the Russian economy. That needs to be where the pressure is placed.

 

Trump will not do this as Trump himself may be compromised.

Suggest watching the Inside Russia youtube channel.

There exiled Russian Konstantin (expert in economics and energy industry) has been predicting Russia's economic melt down for years now.

 

 

Well that might be a concern in an elected democracy but in the lands of dictators they have so much sweeping powers it wont matter one bit, Putin can take every Russian to the grave with him, the apparatus has so much control and wields so much fear who can will move to Thailand.
