California Democrats try to use the weight of the state’s economy to regulate how the entire country operates. This extends California’s inflationary policies to the rest of the nation.

The Justice Department is suing California over several egg regulations that it contends have kept egg prices higher than they should be. Among the laws in question is Proposition 12, which voters approved in 2018. The proposition banned the sale of eggs and meat if farms were “knowingly confining these specific animals in a cruel manner.” This means enclosures for chickens and pigs must meet environmentalist-approved housing standards. Otherwise, their eggs and pork products won’t be sold in California.
