“…flame…flames on the sides of my face…”

#LyingLiarWhoLies

I watched😵as #Trump LIED on & on & on & on & on…in the Oval Office *presser* today [he has dictated that only friendly aka #propagandist #news outlets are allowed in the WH #PressPool]

🤬claimed that egg prices & grocery prices in general are hugely down.

Actual facts:

The #price of #eggs jumped nearly 6% Feb to March

Yeah that’s data from the #UnitedStates #FederalReserve.

How long do #ducks sit on their #eggs and #ducklings for?

A duck has laid two eggs in a planter next to my boat's gangplank. Every time I go outside it flies away. I'm concerned it will affect the wellbeing of the eggs and the ducklings.

I've tried feeding it frozen peas (swans like them), but I never get close.

Last night I lay worrying about the eggs getting cold. The duck returned this morning.

I'm thinking of doing a big shop and then not going out for the next month 😂

This explains why the US has an #egg shortage and other countries don't. It's about bird flu, and the size of egg-laying farms. When massive US farms are hit with flu, it means huge numbers of egg-laying chickens die - resulting in far fewer eggs.
Other countries tend to have much smaller chicken farms. So when one is hit with bird flu, it doesn't really impact the overall supply.

Continued thread

As a result, #JeromePowell said, the central bank is "well positioned to wait for greater clarity" before considering any reduction in interest rates.

#Trump called Powell's report a "complete mess," arguing "Oil prices are down, groceries (even eggs!) are down, & the USA is getting RICH ON TARIFFS."

While oil prices have fallen in response to fears of a global economic slowdown, #grocery prices actually rose last month….The price of #eggs jumped nearly 6% Feb to March….

Many, many eggs are waiting to be found by you... 🥚 Because the Easter holidays are coming and the Easter bunny has hidden them all pretty well. 🐰 Of course, we're also looking forward to the four-day break – as you can see, we've even adapted our logo on the picture accompanying this post accordingly. And now off you go in search of all the tasty Easter eggs – don't let them go bad. With this in mind, we wish you a happy Easter and a great time off. 🌷 #easter #eggs #rabbit #funfacts #nine

Christians are doing that thing this weekend. They retell the story (spoiler, he dies). And then they eat choco rabbits, look at lilies, fight with the family, boil eggs and let uncle Tony eat them because they sat outside for much of the day, and gain a few lbs/kgs.
