"One authoritative survey, issued regularly by the Department of Agriculture based on commercial operations, puts the most recent United States figure at 276 eggs a year."
Poultry is not a gentle business.

T’s New Culture Issue: Past Is Present
For something to be “in fashion,” it needs to be of the times, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t also be kept and treasured for a lifetime.Things are fashionable because the arbiters of fashion name them fashionable.

Substituting one full time job for another is no loss.
The employment prospects of the uneducated were never good.
The jobs they can get will pay better. The supply of low skill work is inelastic on price.
