Brooke Rollins, US Secretary of Agriculture, when asked about egg shortages during a Fox & Friends Weekend segment, suggested that people might think, “Wow, maybe I could get a chicken in my backyard!”
That’s right, people can dodge the high price of eggs at the supermarket by raising chickens.
Isn’t it a sign of an advanced economy that people don’t need to raise their own poultry, livestock, grains, and vegetables?
Is this what Trump means about our going to a new Golden Age, one that is more analogous to 2nd century Rome than 21st century Shanghai?
During the first Trump administration Rollins served as the head of the White House Office of American Innovation.
And there you have it: the innovative approach to dealing with the consequences of Bird Flu as well as an overall economic decline is to raise chickens.
Yes, this is how Team Trump is going to make America great.—Stephen Macaulay
