They might, since deregulation is another of Trump's plans. Then the producers can save money by not bothering to keep dangerous substances out of the food, or the water, or the air... and pass those "savings" on to the consumers.
More likely that they pocket those savings for extra profit and the prices stay the same.
Hey, but they didn't go up! 🥴
Don’t be so sure about the not going up part. Prices will always go up!
If you don't need to look for Avian flu, or stop selling eggs from sick Chickens, then cost savings can be passed on to customers, and no one will notice increased healthcare costs/deaths. Cheap eggs y'all.
That only works for so long before shit like the avian flu kills all the flocks.
Then all the fast-food places can buy the dead chickens for cheap and again pass the savings on to the soon to be very ill consumer. Glorious plan!
