It's been the same for me, I've been keeping an eye on egg prices at my local Safeway since this thread started, and haven't noticed any fluctuations in either direction.

Some recent graphs from the Alan Kohler Report... a short financial report on week days on the ABC here in Australia...
Not sure how much DOGE can squeeze out of the Federal service. As a comparison, Australia's Federal government has been hovering around 23-25% of our GDP.
From my understanding the prediction is ~2.6% growth in the American economy... so the -2.4% drag won't result in a recession, but it looks to be a real weakening in the economy.
I like Alan... usually have some interesting things to show. And always with a smile... especially when he says "And noone knows why!"

If tariffs are here to stay for a long period of time there are many other factors that can go south... Military complex not selling outside USA except contract already made (and maybe not even those). Farms that used to sell through USAID, no more. It's like all the fucking herd of chickens are coming to roost all at onceSome recent graphs from the Alan Kohler Report... a short financial report on week days on the ABC here in Australia...

I don't be surprised if Trump finally got the Russian products to disguise as american ones to drop the prices

But in the mind of Trumpers he's doing exactly what he should and it will all balance out in the end!
I got a 3 hour lecture yesterday in an MMO instead of getting stomped on by dragons for overaggroing.

If you've got the room for it, you can never have too many stand up freezers.

Now see I've always been afraid of them as my assumption was always that when you open all the cold air just dumps out so the motor has to work overtime to get it back down. Meanwhile a chest freezer keeps all the cold air in. Maybe I'm just assuming too much.

No, that is somewhat true.
Chest freezers are better at containing the cold. But they are potentially harder to organize since everything is stacked in.

You are correct that the cold air can dump out. You can help that a bit with inner curtains, inner doors, properly stocked freezer, etc. But, in the end, the cold air is just not very important.
The amount of energy you lose is proportional to the (volume) * (density) * (heat capacity) of the stuff that leaves. Since most of what is in the freezer is water based, the density is nearly 1000X bigger and the heat capacity is nearly 4X higher than the air. Meaning if a gallon of air leaves vs you taking a gallon of stuff out of the freezer, the stuff you took out cost you 4000X more energy than the air.
