I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.

      You know, if you spent your entire life living underground and never saw the sky, you’d never worry about silly little things like asteroids crashing into the planet and killing everyone.

      It doesn’t mean you’ll survive any better, you just get to die ignorant.

      I’m sure the entire problem is government over-regulation. If we fire half the cdc and not allow them to use the word “gender”, they won’t be ble to enforce regulations and the price will come down

      That is 100% how he’ll deal with egg prices, if he ever cares enough to pretend to help the common man.

        Jokes aside, over here in Europe a dozen large eggs cost between 5.16 and 7.80 € (for cheap barn eggs and pricey organic eggs respectively. Cage eggs have been outlawed for quite some years already)

          Have you actually seen what a cage-free barn is like? They still spend their entire lives touching at least one other individual, choking on ammonia, never seeing the sky, never expressing any of their natural behaviors. There is no compassionate advantage to cage-free vs caged as it is practiced in the UK.
