I offered to help set up a chicken coop for my old boss thinking it would be take a few phone calls and it was an absolute nightmare. You can get egg producing hens and a rooster for a $20 package deal in LA but his wife wanted an absurd assortment of non gmo organic roosters and hens from different regions for their setup so I ended up having to do in person evaluations of roosters and chickens all around town. Had probably 5 design meetings before the coop was agreed upon, had to oversee construction, and had to meet with city planning because they wanted a larger chicken allocation than what their lot size allowed. Probably ended up having to put in at least 100 hours of work between my rooster and hen mock draft, coop design and construction, and city approval.
I powered through - but I've definitely leveraged it into him being a great work and personal reference. "Hi, long time no see, how's Cindy, how are my chickens?" "By the way you're going to get a call today or tomorrow asking about me"
Trump said shut up about egg prices so apparently he actually didn’t care about egg prices? Bet whoever voted for him for that very reason feels really stupid!
Since this is basically the Trump Inflation thread, I thought I would share. I am in the food manufacturing industry and we just had a massive trade show in Anaheim last week. All producers and suppliers are spooked from 2022 and expecting that the tariffs/trade wars hit their bottomline at some point, the uncertainty has everyone on edge. Virtually every brand and manufacturer I talked to was planning on raising prices in the next 60-90 days. I just got a 10% increase for the price of cardboard (wood pulp from Canada), expecting a 7% increase on milk in may (due to increase in feed costs), plastic is probably going up due to some refinement in Canada, fruits are up this month by 10%, etc. So more expensive food DIRECTLY because of our President! Yay! Who are our resident Trump voters so we can throw rocks at them?
