I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, but you’re wrong.
Profit is logged against prior expenditure, so that would be the cost of acquiring and feeding the hens they had to destroy.
The cost to replace those hens will be offset against the sale of eggs produced by the new hens. That will be how next year’s profit is calculated.
News Radio was the tits.
Do you think it’s free to replace millions of hens?
Cheese is a good way to stockpile milk. Milk spoils, cheese does too but much more slowly.
Are you the least bit aware of what caused the egg shortage? There was a super virulent strain of avian influenza (bird flu) that has the potential to infect wild birds and to jump to mammals. You know, like people. The same thing triggered the pandemic in 1918 that killed anywhere from 1% - 5% of the world population.
So to avoid that happening again, they had to destroy (slaughter) millions and millions of egg laying hens, which yes, caused a shortage of eggs relative to normal.

There are real issues that need to be addressed with capitalism and workers rights. This isn’t one of them and you hurt the real arguments by not educating yourself.
Except that’s not really true. Western nations donate millions of tons of wheat and other food to poor nations and those hit by drought and other natural disasters.

There’s lots of wide open spaces and cheap land in the American West. They’re just remote and devoid of many modern conveniences. Source - I live in the Rocky Mountains.
What I hear is somebody bitching about having to work and pay taxes and having not asked to be born, who still demands access to all the modern conveniences that work and taxes pay for.
That’s top tier tone deaf whining.

Yeah I think he’s just making stuff up.
It’s not a debt to society. You have to “chip in” to take care of yourself and what you consume & throw away.
You’re free to go live in the backwoods, build a rudimentary cabin, and hunt or fish to survive. That might be harder work than what you’ve got now though.
I don’t disagree, but the prospect of Pence testifying in open court during primary season is delicious, especially if they get this thing televised.
