That actually doesn’t make as much sense in Californias case because the water system is interconnected by the aqueduct system, and a lot of it is designed to get water to Central and Southern California. So there may be regions that are more or less robust in a given year, but the system is designed to account for that.

One interesting exception is lake Berryessa about 40 minutes west of Sacramento. It’s not connected to the rest of the system by law, and it’s something like the 7th biggest reservoir in the state. The area it provides water for it small relative to the size of the reservoir, and those farming communities basically never have water restrictions. And not coincidentally, there’s been a lot of investment into planting things like almond trees there in recent years.

are you asking why the average since theyve begun measuring and keeping the values doesnt go up and down at the same rate as the instantaneous level? you do know what an average is right. especially the last year when they had a serious drought and it just kept going down while the average is usually much higher.

Be nice to see more cities in MN then just Fargo on here to compare things to

You're right, they're different industries and different markets, so it's not a perfect parallel, and I completely neglected that fact.

By numbers, in January 2023 of 58m culled, at least 40m were egg-laying hens (the public dataset does not have very standardized distinctions for many flocks, so it looks to be an estimate based on what's known).[NBC 2023-01-18] One explanation for the discrepancy: "Chickens grown for meat can be less prone to infection as they are slaughtered after about six weeks, but bigger, older birds and egg-laying hens [who live longer] have been severely affected. " [Bloomberg 2022-12-19] Also I should have looked up other indicators like turkey prices, which have risen steadily, except their rise begins in Dec 2021 (prior to the first reported outbreak) and continues to soar, overall almost as steeply as the price of eggs, without fluctuation to date.

So it's definitely not as simple as I thought, and I shouldn't have just put it down to some speculative bubble, since nobody else is (although USDA reports don't even seem to address the price crash in January -- I can't imagine what else at least that spike could have been, but I'm no commodities trader.) Good call-out.

[To be clear, this is what I am claiming now: I have a decent suspicion that the peak and crash in egg prices in January was due to a not-insignificant element of speculation some time during the months leading up. My supporting evidence for this, or links to qualified experts (unlike me) who might have a similar suspicion, is nonexistent -- I can't find anything worthwhile. Hopefully as I detailed how the sources I found countered my initial reasoning, something of it might be informative to others interested in this topic.]

It’s already back to the level it was pre all this in the northeast. Peaked at 5.50 a dozen here, but we are sitting at 2.10 as of last Friday locally.

Well, they cant even control school shooting, not very smart country

I thought that from day one. First seen in a city with a coronavirus lab and the virus acts strangely as if it was a half finished bio weapon. Doesn’t really change anything tho.

does ai art count?

Again you keep insisting that you’ll give up your liberal beliefs and become conservative if someone belittles you?

Your beliefs are so shallow, so flimsy, you’ll change them anytime someone is rude to you?

I wonder if that’s the point at which most people have enough engagement with the show to actually go and post and review?

https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/press-release/mccaul-on-report-corroborating-his-investigation-concluding-covid-19-pandemic-originated-at-wuhan-lab/

Washington, D.C. – House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul released the following statement in response to the Department of Energy (DOE) assessment that concludes the COVID-19 pandemic was most likely caused by a lab leak in China. Their report reiterates the same finding in Chairman McCaul’s report from August 2021, which found a preponderance of the evidence proved the virus was leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Is this the best way to visualize this information? All those data labels make it seem really cluttered (i’m trying to learn so please don’t be rude)
