Appearing on Fox (of course), Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins when asked how the administration is going to bring down the price of eggs, said: “How do we solve for something like this? People are sort of looking around and thinking, ‘Wow, maybe I could get a chicken in my backyard,’ and it’s awesome.”

Awesome.

Our post-agrarian society has allowed Americans to lead richer, healthier, longer, more leisure-filled lives. There’s a reason politicians a century ago promised “a chicken in every pot,” not a “chicken in every yard.”

Encouraging millions of Americans who are completely inexperienced with animal husbandry to become amateur bird farmers in the middle of a bird flu epidemic also seems like a great way to expose more humans to bird flu.

Thre's no end to the stupid in the Trump administration.
