Didn't Jabba-the Orange pledge to lower those prices on DAY ONE?
Yeah, but something, something Biden did it.
If biden was a weak and pathetic president..

$5. They're $5.
Its one egg, michael. What could it cost, Ten dollars?
Eggs at $5.00 a dozen: price per unit, 41.7 cents.
50 Wincester 9 mm FMJ rounds are $14.99. Price per unit, a bit under 30 cents.
“Make Egg Price Great Again”
You don't need eggs, eat something else. Better for chickens, biodiversity and the climate as well
Excellent whataboutism 👌

Let them eat quinoa amirite
It does affect the baby male chicks that get macerated in the egg industry.

Neighborhood chicken lady went from $2 to $3 a dozen due to the price increase of chicken feed. Hopefully her chickens won’t be affected, mostly for her & her family’s sake.
“Surcharges”
Is that a the grocer version of “dealer premiums” from when car dealers legally price gouged during the covid parts supply shortages?
It’s gonna be like the USSR except instead of bread shops running out of bread you’re just not going to be able to afford it because the grocer jacked up the price to $30/loaf.

For for 65sek (6usd) i get 20 eggs from free-range outdoor hens. At my local grocery store. Maybe you guys can save some money by not bleaching your eggs anymore. It's a pretty pointless practice anyway.
We don't "bleach" the eggs, we wash the outer membrane off along with dirt and feces to reduce salmonella contamination (and because poopy eggs are harder to market) which is also why they're refrigerated. We can't skip the washing process without first addressing the filthy conditions cheap commercial eggs are produced in and Big Ag is just one of many powerful interest groups that has had our government by the balls for decades (at least).
So are people treating this as a generalized sign of inflation, or are people actually worried about eggs?
Because if you're treating this as a gauge of inflation, it's a bad one, as there's a bird flu outbreak greatly affecting egg prices.
And if it's just concern about eggs... I don't get it. I mean, I think our household eats a lot of eggs, but a lot is like 2-3 dozen a week. And if eggs cost $2 more than usual, well, that's $6 a week. Meh? I doubt this is breaking the bank for many people.
I think it's a meme at this point, because some people said they voted for trump due to egg prices and he might have promised to reduce them on day one.
He promised to reduce grocery prices on day 1, and end the war in Ukraine after winning the election
"Known liar lies" could just be the headline every day with him
Eggs are staple like bread or milk. It's a cheap source of protein and when the price goes up the people who feel it the most are the ones that are most sensitive to grocery prices. So yes, to you it might not seem like a lot, but to someone who's barely able to afford groceries it's life changing.

I’ve been paying $8ish for 12 the past 6 years. Apparently it’s cheap subsidized eggs that are expensive now. That’s because of bird flu no?
