Eggs are still expensive. My attempt to legalize these friendly, productive fowls failed after a bunch of angry Boomer women scuttled it for fear that chickens will decrease property values (the opposite is true). Also, when you’re 80, why do you care how much your property is worth? When will this selfish, shortsighted generation cease to meddle in everything?
To be clear, I don’t wish ill to the Boomers just because a handful of hysterical old ladies opposed legalizing chickens—which are cleaner and easier to care for than most dogs—but, goodness! Eggs are literally $6-8 a dozen at my local grocery store. People should be allowed to raise chickens. By God, they allow it New York City (when I brought that up, a crusty old lady said, “so we’re as progressive as New York City?!—what a stupid old hag)!
As you can tell, I’m still salty about the chicken ordinance. But I haven’t given up yet. In the meantime, Americans have a proud tradition of ignoring blatantly stupid and self-destructive laws.
No amount of cluelessness will lead to people to starve themselves. Let a thousand chickens cluck!
