Crime Egg prices at an all time high.

Eggs are $6 dozen by me. Is that a lot?

Been discussed for a while. None of us thought it was a problem that would be fixed on day 1.

Rockefeller’s philosophy of "just a little bit more" perfectly sums up how greed operates, it’s never satisfied, no matter how much wealth is hoarded. Rothschild’s "The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets" takes it even further, showing how crises aren’t seen as disasters, but as opportunities to exploit. That’s exactly what corporations do today. Every economic downturn, supply chain issue, or global crisis is just another excuse to jack up prices, slash wages, and consolidate power. There’s no natural stopping point because unchecked greed will always push further, no matter how much damage it causes. The only thing that keeps it in check is regulation, and every time that gets stripped away, the same cycle plays out—ordinary people suffer while the ultra-rich walk away with even more.

Testify.

And that is why the retarded mantra of "let the market sort it out" is one parroted and propogated by corporations. Because they will always exploit an unregulated market.

In Michigan it became law January 1st all eggs have to be cage free which obviously rose prices considerably and id presume this +/-80% increase greatly effects national average price... Bullshit law as we always had options to purchase cage free eggs if that's something we cared about. It shouldn't have even been allowed in a free market but here we are. Awfully coincidental timing...

Just lie after lie, never ending, and people still believe him.

Aside from the bird flu getting really bad, DOGE or whoever fired a bunch of people working on the bird flu, only to have to rehire them. It's all fucked.

It actually isn’t. That law was passed in 2019 so Michigan had many 5 years to setup for it. It also only applies to larger farms with +3000 hens. All the additional costs have already built in long ago. What did happen is Michigan culled 6+ million hens late last year due to some bird flu. So the shortage of chicken has been severe which affected egg prices. From what I read the entire flock is wiped out, the facilities are thoroughly cleaned and a new batch of hens are raised. That takes 9-12 months. Hopefully the prices will drop once things stabilize. Hopefully..

Just got 5 dozen for $20. Not a bad deal IMO

People bitching in histrionics about the price of eggs will go buy an 8 dollar latte instead or a 10 dollar pizza. My eggs were 8 bucks at costco for a 24 pk price seems to be the same only supply is the problem which will probably fix itself with time. Only people price gouging eggs are smaller grocery stores.

Well, over night eggs went from something like $3.60 to $5.15 +/- so there certainly was an effect unless it was also coincidence. Not sure what they are now...

It’s just another thing for people complain about, while some areas in the states it’s valid, it’s just funny reading your quote and showing some hypocrisy in some folks. I can go months without eating eggs, red meat is a different story though.
