Anecdote: My Trumpster in-laws could not stop yacking about "Biden's high eggs prices" just last month. Haven't heard a peep about the price of eggs since Trump came back. Now it's just "God's will."

That’s still expensive, they’re 4.5$ CAD where I’m at, they were 3.5$ pre-covid.

Most groceries here don’t post prices online, but …..

Boston Metro West - Amazon Fresh eggs from “Whole Foods”, not the cheapest grocery, $4.49/doz grade a large brown. My regular grocery is much cheaper than “Whole Paycheck” for most things.

I wanna say five or six bucks for a bottle that probably makes about the same as a dozen eggs, might be a little more now tho

Nows your chance to return the favour. Complain to her about how expensive eggs are now under Trump.

In my state, prepared foods are generally taxed while produce, canned goods, dairy, and many others are not. The system is confusing enough that hardly anyone knows what's taxable or not, so they rely on the store systems to do it for them.

Is it truly your belief that corporations were not greedy over the last 15 years, but somehow got really greedy at the same time that there were major supply chain shocks across the planet? Or is it more likely that "corporate greed" is a more enticing answer to a complex economic problem?

So it's your opinion that corporations were not greedy before 2020?

I can't believe buying chickens is actually saving me money, I just did it because I wanted chickens.

Or you live in a red state where they don't bother checking?

Sources for my claim?

That's asking for a lot of sources and a compilation of research as to how I came to my inference on an internet comment. I don't have the time to accommodate all of that, but this article touches on the corporate greed aspect somewhat concisely: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/finance/price-of-food

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/COST/costco/revenue - is a good way to look at profits at a high level for the 4 major grocers (Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Albertsons) - https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/IB_2111_FoodMonoSeries1-SUPERMARKETS-V2FINAL.pdf. This touches more on the aspect of food monopolies specifically: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2021/jul/14/food-monopoly-meals-profits-data-investigation - the monopolies go beyond just food.

Songs regarding what I'm talking about... off the top of my head the one I think of first is Propaghandi - "A People’s History of the World." The last lyrics:

*"Yeah, you can vote however the fuck you want
But power still calls all the shots
And believe it or not

Even if democracy broke loose
They'll just make the economy scream
Until we vote responsibly"*

I also think of Fugazi - "Merchandise"
*
"Merchandise, it keeps us in line
Common sense says it's by design
What could a businessman ever want more
Than to have us sucking in his store"*

It's without but food products in Colorado are taxed at a very low rate around 3 percent unless you're on SNAP ("food stamps"), in which case food isn't taxed.

So, worst case scenario (in Colorado, specifically) on a $4.99 egg purchase you may also see an additional 15 cents in tax.

Some states do not differentiate in the tax percentage applied to foods versus other products so in those places it's not out of the question to see sales tax of 10 percent or so...

In Colorado Springs, I'm seeing Eggland's Best at $6.29 and Simple Truth "Kipster Large" eggs currently on sale at $4.99 per dozen, respectively, at King Soopers.

While these prices are certainly high compared to what we're used to, it's definitely not been nearly as outrageous as what I'm seeing online.

I can't imagine the prices and selection are actually significantly different at the same chain an hour away in Denver.

Colorado law only allows for cage free eggs as of January 1st of this year and had mostly already been all that's available here prior to this bird flu epidemic for maybe 6ish months and prices were not increased significantly as a result.

Regardless, this picture represents an extreme and not the least expensive eggs available at this particular store.

Oh you’re misunderstanding me. I’m not saying corporations started being greedy over the last 5 years. I’m saying that they turned up the dial as far as they could. They’ve always been greedy.

By greedy I mean they have to extra t value for shareholders. Then you have pensions, UK at least, tied to the stock market making it almost impossible to change the system due to the fact we need to account for the elderly and we refuse to increase taxes by a substantial amount on obscene wealth.

We got cage free organic at 6.19/dozen here in Ohio. This seems a localized high
