I’m fairly sure that California having cage-size mandates does the opposite of driving up egg prices outside California.
They’ll drive up California egg prices, sure. But California egg prices have been higher than egg prices outside California. That’s because it’s not legal to sell eggs produced in other states if the producer there doesn’t produce to California’s requirements, which eliminates California consumers as competition for those eggs. If you have a shortage in California production — as happened earlier — what happens is that prices in California go much more expensive, but prices outside California don’t rise as much as they otherwise would, because California consumers aren’t competing for the available supply.
California’s cage-size mandates may be a bad idea for California egg consumers, but they shouldn’t be driving up prices outside of California a la the Trump administration’s claims.
I suppose maybe it’s a media strategy, the aim being to fix the idea that it is California’s fault in the minds of people elsewhere.
I’m pretty sure the avian flu outbreaks have had a much more significant impact on the price of eggs than any state regulations. I suppose they’ll try to blame California for that, too.
Lots of people outside of California are actually deeply jealous, don’t want to admit it, and there is an entire industry around bashing California and Californians as a result.
I think Bill Maher is right - a whole lot of Americans want to be Californians.
It’s probably driving up the average national price, purely from a statistical standpoint, even if it doesn’t actually affect the price outside of California, it just makes the numbers look bad, which The Dipshit finds personally offensive

It’s a media strategy, all right. Only the aim is simply trying to distract you from the Epstein files.
How dare you use math and statistics the way they’re mean to be used. I’m going to anagram the word used and retroactively sue you. You’re sued!
