Given the current state of partisan polarization, it’s unlikely Biden can get majority job approval next year even with the most fortunate set of circumstances. But the good news for him is that he probably doesn’t have to. Job-approval ratings are crucial indicators in a normal presidential reelection cycle that is basically a referendum on the incumbent’s record. Assuming Trump is the Republican nominee, 2024 will not be a normal reelection cycle for three reasons.
Cool bro, my grocery bill is fucking outrageous the cost of living is going up with no raises for the regular guy. They do everything but actually help the middle class.
I’m not giving Biden a full pass, but inflation has struck across the globe. Why do you think we would be special?
There’s a land war on in Europe, and another more recently in the middle east, tech is still confused about how to deal with a post COVID world, and just laid off hundreds of thousands of employees, refugees from climate crisis and political unrest are fleeing across the Americas, Asian and Europe, nationalism has been on the rise for nearly a decade, and here at home the GOP is in a true state of crisis, as their old guard evil white guys are dealing with the insane fascists new guys.
The world is crazy right now, but eggs are expensive, so fuck voting I guess.
Also those egg prices spiking headlines have been around times of deadly avian flu outbreaks over the past couple years (we just had another one too). Kind of the the cost of cheap eggs. If you want your eggs dirt cheap, well they get that cheap because they come from giant factory farms with them all crammed together in horrible conditions ripe for diseases to spread. So everytime there’s an avian flu outbreak, they have to kill of millions of chickens to prevent it from spreading further, and egg prices will spike again. In the outbreak in 2022 egg wholesale prices doubled in less than a month after an outbreak, and 20% of all egg laying chickens in Iowa (nation’s biggest egg producer) alone were culled. Eggs are often loss leaders for grocery stores too who may sell them for even less than wholesale, so the price is quite manipulated and retailer dependent. Often why you find them way in the back corner of the store so you have to walk by all the higher margin products. Point is, eggs are a terrible gauge of who to vote for, unless you’re trying to reduce animal cruelty but that would make eggs more expensive anyways so, /shrug
