I saw some US folks floating a strike on Monday. The lay public really don't get how bad this is.
I've heard: "Oh, lefties always exaggerate how bad Trump is. You'll see this will probably be fine once you calm down."

Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why.
How has Trump responded?
