    Trump’s going to order that they stop culling chicken farms due to H5N1 infections, call the disease a mild cold like he did with covid-19 and claim it’s not that big of a deal. Nearly instantly, of course, a bird flu pandemic breaks out as the virus mutates to infect humans, but the CDC and NIH will be stopped from making any statements about the disease.

    In dictatorship the economy almost always is going down, so… As in Soviet Union, there will be no eggs on the shelves at all, enjoy! …or they will be expensive as fuck.
