Is 150 million chickens an insane amount ?

Or,

Is it insane to kill 150 million chickens ?

The left has been complaining since Trump's 1st days in office about Trump not bringing down the price of eggs.
The former Transportation Secretary mentions $10 eggs on March 5.
Elon posts on March 6.
So some investigative journalist writes an article for Forbes.
From Forbes: "She graduated with a degree in journalism from Creighton University and has an MA in investigative journalism from Arizona State."



Yes. It's a real issue. 150 million egg-layers were slaughtered. Egg prices are up.

The Forbes article must have hit home to a lot of people tho. Lol.

I mean, that’s what they did. And the new administration is trying to avoid this.

Quote
No. Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, criticized the past administration on CBS in mid-February, saying the “Biden plan was to just, you know, kill chickens, and they spent billions of dollars just randomly killing chickens within a perimeter where they found a sick chicken.” Hassett then said the government was working on a way to ensure not all chickens in a flock that has an infection need to be killed—though Rosemary Sifford, chief veterinary officer for the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, told stakeholders shortly after that there were “no anticipated changes to our current stamping-out policy at this time.” However, in the USDA’s announcement of the $1 billion investment, it said the agency will be “hyper-focused” on a strategy to reduce the occurrence of and “minimize depopulation of egg laying chickens.”

So take a "scalpel" to the bird flu but not terminating government employees, essential or otherwise. Well, I guess it may be a start.

They are still using the stamping out approach. There is no practical alternative. Musk is an idiot.

But, the killing of chickens infected with avian flu, or in stocks where it was present, is known as a “stamping-out policy” and is followed by the USDA, which states there is no treatment for highly pathogenic avian flu and “the only way to stop the disease is to depopulate all affected and exposed poultry.”

...

While the majority of those killed occurred during Biden’s presidency, the practice has continued since Trump took office and an estimated 13 million birds have been affected since February.

The "left" (lol) s not complaining about Trump not bringing down the price of eggs. They are simply pointing it out. Everyone with a brain knew Trump had no plan to reduce the price of the eggs. It was always avian flu, this is not news.

The 'right' is now  "complaining" that avian flu somehow only affects domestic egg layer chickens. Some are falling for that.

Indiana bird flu cases explode, killing chickens, sandhill cranes, other waterfowl

Eli Fleace, an avian health biologist with Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources, said reports of dying sandhill cranes have been rolling in since January. Dead sandhills have been found this year in Union, Greene, Jasper, Newton, LaPorte and Stark counties, and DNR estimates roughly 1,500 have died across the state.

Snow geese, Canada geese, red-breasted mergansers, common goldeneyes and mallards have also died due to avian influenza, Fleace said. The bird flu has been found in at least one Bald Eagle and a handful of hawks and owls that can pick up the disease by scavenging on carcasses of infected birds.

I think you're missing the point. Trump said he would lower egg prices.  Now he can't because Biden killed the chickens. Never mind that Trump is still killing chickens.

The actual problem is the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4 virus that has been detected in U.S. wild aquatic birds, commercial poultry and backyard or hobbyist flocks beginning in January 2022.  (I plagiarized that) Try explaining it to hysterical Trump apologists.
