Eggs...*




The Prevention of Farm Cruelty Act requires a minimum of 116 square inches per layer, 73%  more farm space than in a conventional system.

While this may cause higher prices in California, prices elsewhere may face downward pressure if out-of-State egg producers choose not to alter their facilities."

Farmers have two options, invest or downscale, according to a special report compiled by the Egg Industry Centre, University of Iowa. 

While there are various ways to achieve these requirements, all of them lead to a higher cost of production than the conventional system.

Prices in New York tripled earlier in the year, then slowly went back to just 20 cents up.   Just a thought.

One of the most senior figures in the US Republican party, Mitt Romney, has issued a scathing verbal attack on the frontrunner for the party's presidential nomination, Donald Trump.
Mr Romney attacked Mr Trump as ''a phoney, a fraud''. ''His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University,'' he said.
Mr Trump has meanwhile mocked Mr Romney on Twitter as a "failed candidate" who should not advise on electability.  [March 3/2016]
President Donald Trump took to Twitter to offer surprising support for a longtime nemesis. The president endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for senator, a position the former Massachusetts governor hopes to inherit from retiring GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah.  Just a thought.

The Media, swinging back and forth, tried to fry the Big Fish. They still do hoping for tomorrow where they can change enough people's mind.  This is of course is tied with revenue.
They wouldn't stop and admit their errors. However, you can't judge something without following the money.

Marine Le Pen, the anti-immigration candidate in France’s election, unleashed a social-media campaign attacking minority communities after successive nights of violence in the ghettos around Paris.
Some satellite towns around the capital have seen violent protests almost every night.   Police have made multiple arrests, Agence France-Presse reported.
Security forces have been the target of gangs of scum that nothing seems to be able to stop anymore, and certainly not the courts in a overall context of decadence,” Le Pen said in a statement.
With fears about immigration and public security providing the backdrop to the French election campaign, Le Pen started an online petition to support the police as her aides and supporters used social media to condemn the protesters and heap blame for problem on the Socialist government.
