Summary
The IRS anticipates a $500 billion revenue loss as taxpayers increasingly skip filings following cuts from Elon Musk under Trump.
The IRS, set to downsize by 20% by May 15, has seen increased online chatter about avoiding taxes, with individuals betting auditors won’t scrutinize accounts.
Experts warned that workforce reductions could cripple the agency’s efficiency.
Treasury officials predict a 10% drop in tax receipts compared to 2024.
Former IRS commissioners have criticized the cuts, warning of dysfunction and reduced collection capacity.
surely this will lower the price of eggs, right? right?
You need a better meme. Egg prices are almost back to normal in a lot of places.
I still haven’t found a single action that will make things better for citizens after it’s net impact is considered. Let’s not even talk about the negative impact this is having on humanity as a whole…
edit: ITT: people who are too dumb to realize the actions i’m talking about are from DOGE/Dumpy. Lives are at stake, eggs don’t fucking matter.
X.
I was just at the grocery store; normal eggs are $10/dozen in Central California, where we have a lot of egg operations.
Here in Indiana eggs are $4-$5/dozen
$4 greater boston area.
I’m paying $4500/mo on my mortgage. I don’t give a fuck about egg prices. I give a fuck about the impending crash that is going to cost so many jobs. I give a fuck about my wife with a permanent resident card who if she leaves I have no idea if she’ll ever come back - assuming they don’t just strip her of it.
I have real fucking problems. Egg prices aren’t one of them.
4 to 8 bucks in Oakland, oddly enough, Safeways where all the mega price hikes are. You’d figure a general grocery store would have less but I guess the other spots buy local
Merced here, we’re smack in the middle of Cowlifornia, so I would’ve guessed our prices would come down first. I’ve seen local grocers here deadass selling loosies for a dollar. Wild that you guys are coming down before us, but I’m glad to see it.
That is weird, could be dependant on preexisting contracts or possibly bulk orders
So you’re saying the destruction of the whole US Government is just fine because egg prices eventually came back down somewhere?
Cool.
See line #2?
as in, the actions by the current administration. Is that too hard to understand in a thread about doge telling everyone not to show up for work and cancelling any and all payments to fucking everything, including ones to people who are going to die from the lack of humanitarian aid?
We’re in for some awful shit on massive scale.
Like fuck.
You know the egg thing is a joke at this point, right?
HIS USer name is called the critical thinker, a play on words of the right wing influencer crticial drinker, he wasnt kidding.
It’s so funny that someone named “Critical Thinker” never stopped to ask why eggs got expensive to begin with or what has been happening in the poultry industry over the last six months.
You just come off the bat with “Um, aktuly, its fixed now!” without questioning changes to supply or demand.
FFS, Trump’s own Department of Agriculture released an updated food price outlook report for the year predicting that egg prices would increase 41.1% in 2025 as they continue to experience “volatile month-to-month changes” because of the ongoing bird flu outbreak—up from the 20.3% increase the USDA predicted in January.
But why think critically about any of this?
My man’s brain overheats at the prospect of getting out of bed in the morning.
Are you malfunctioning?
I shit on the current administrations policies and actions with the second line… and in my first line i’m literally saying it’s not nearly as important as EVERYTHING FUCKING ELSE.
jesus christ. My wife has a fucking greencard you asshole. I’m worrying about hundreds of thousands of people being sent ??? and probably dying.
I don’t give a shit that eggs are double the price because of a disease that we probably can’t stop in the near term. We can absolutely save tens of thousands of lives from going back to haiti and getting murdered by the gangs that control port au prince. We can absolutely save tens of thousands of venezuelans that risked their lives to make it to the US in hopes that they could work hard and not get murdered for opposing maduro.
I just can’t even with you people.
What does this have to do with the price of eggs?
Bro what?
just look at his username.
