Does this cartoonist not know the difference between eggs and embryos? Or am I missing something?

Jests for bumper stickers and road signs need to be short to be read properly or will go partially read in speeding traffic.
@OldAndCranky @Methylcobalamin It's a reference to a song and also kind of makes fun of Trump.
The Presidents of the United States of America were a popular band at one time, for "Lump" and "Peaches."
I remember "Peaches".
i had to look it up too, i always thought the lyric was "love" not "lump"
Oh, and i miskeyed "lump" as "limp" and i dread the ads I'm going to be served for the next week. Thank you very much.
Oh this is so good.
I’m also patting myself on the back for getting this reference, watching MTV as a kid paid off! 🤣
OH MY GOODNESS THAT IS UTTERLY AMAZING.
How dare you hit me unwarned and unguarded, right in my Gen-X feels!! XD

Food company profit increases since inflation peaked:
Cheesecake Factory +471%
Cal-Maine +268%
Jack In The Box +213%
Chipotle +110%
Starbucks +47%
Sysco +43%
How much did they collectively spend on stock buybacks? Over $10 billion.
They used inflation as cover to get rich.

And why do customers keep going there?
I don't.
You keep pounding on company profits implying there should be a limit imposed by the mighty state on how much a company can make in profits.
Then what is the limit on investor losses that you are willing to underwrite ?
You cannot have your cake and eat it too, take away from entrepreneurship when it succeeds and let investors eat the whole of losses when things turn south.
To all of those who say “just don’t go there” It is these type of businesses that.
1. Will not hire full time employees so they don’t have to provide insurance.
2. Constantly cry that there is no way to afford paying their part time employees a livable wage.
3. Lobby the government to keep these shitty rules in place so they can keep feeding their greed.
Wake up people. They have declared war on you.
I'm no capitalist (or economist), but regarding the stock buybacks...
I've a bit more faith in private companies with a clear sense of their market, than public companies whose random investors care more about the share price than the product. This faith may be misguided; private companies aren't necessarily more ethical, scrupulous, or efficient, yet they are often more focused on quality.
Dell computers and Theakstons brewery are some private buybacks that interested me this way.
Nick Hanauer wrote a good article on the greed of price gouging corporations.

Greedy CEOs have milked the average American household for $12,000 since the pandemic. As a businessman, I can explain how they’re doing it.

That's one way to couch it.
I'm disappointed, Mr. Takei. You had a golden opportunity there.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.
aaaah that's why... Apparently Kickstarter sent me an email in the short time my domain expired when I was on vacation, so it bounced and they stopped trying to send me stuff.
I'm sure this is covered in the book somewhere under "don't bloody let your domains expire"
I gotta admit, I did NOT cover this failure mode. My bad. 
It's not "almost" certain doom. Promise.
I just discovered the APC Back UPS 500 starts making a loud beep when its battery fails and you cannot disable it even though it would keep working on AC. mastodon.social/@gvy_dvpont/11…
We've got this cheap egg cooker that plays the loudest, most terrifying alarm you've ever heard when it's done cooking. My wife requested that I make it "less aggressive" so I hacked it into the most gentle egg cooker of ALL TIME(warning: probably loud)
