Trump administration sues California, arguing animal cruelty laws cause high egg prices
The Trump administration is suing California Gov. Gavin Newsom over his state's animal cruelty laws, arguing they are contributing to high egg prices.

Wisdom indeed. That's what modern America lacks.
They'll try anything except solving the real problem.
Conservatism isn't about solving problems. It's about ignoring them and placing the blame on others.
Christ, even Hitler made animal cruelty laws.
That's the reality we live in, the US President has more extreme views than Adolph Fucking Hitler.A new day. A new low.
Did California even get affected by high egg prices? During the worst of the bird flu, egg prices at my Bay Area supermarket were quite stable -- probably because of those stricter state requirements.
It's like gas.
"Y'all Californians pay too much for that there gas."
Yeah, because we have stricter refinement laws so we have cleaner air. I've literally witnessed a significant reduction in the smog in the Sacramento valley over the course of my life because of those laws. Despite WAY more people living here than 3 decades ago.
I'll pay more for cleaner air.
I'll pay more for eggs without bird flu.
I'm a bit further north, but I noticed that egg prices at the local health foods co-ops that source eggs from smaller farms stayed pretty consistent while prices at bigger chain stores that source from mega farms doubled for a while. I assumed the difference was due to increased animal density requiring culling for the mega farms, price gouging, or both.
yeah. because eggs can't be raised anywhere but california. idiots.
This is just them trying to punish California because we didn't vote for him, and we regularly pull huge numbers for anti-trump protests.
If he remains in power long enough, the United States may be competing against the fourth largest economy in the world (California).
For most things, precedent has been that states can make things more restrictive than federal law.
This goes beyond egg prices, Trump's hate for California, or him weaponizing the DOJ. This is another attempt to say that the federal government overrules anything and everything that states do.
"sTaTe's RiGhTs"
Yet another conservative lie.
