We’re only talking eggs here, this is not an indicator of general inflation.

We had that too so prices are higher over say five years, but as far as I know, general inflation is under control. The biggest problem there is all the price increases blamed on “global supply chain disruption” from a couple years back: why haven’t they gone away since the disruption has?

In any sane world, would something as specific as eggs drive politics? They also didn’t weigh in on how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie-pop. That’s fine, they should be concerned about bigger things

In Colorado stores must sell cage-free eggs now. The law just went into effect.

It's just inflation. Corporate greed is a poor excuse for price increases

It's ok, though. Trump has installed a loyalist who will scrub all mention of bird flu from the USDA website. Problem solved!

Look how well it worked out at the FAA!

Just over the border in Switzerland I've got 0,79€ per egg (0,75€ in a 12 pack). But that's still cheaper than OP.

Ok thanks.

I don’t think corporate greed is a poor excuse though.

All prices in the UK have gone up by substantial amounts over the last 5 years. While at the same time these massive corporations have recorded record profits.

If the price increases were purely inflation then it would stand to reason that profits wouldn’t have gone up so much. Clearly they’ve used inflation as an excuse to squeeze consumers as much as possible.

I am talking generally here and not specifically about eggs.

What if I told you that the 3-4 corporations that control our food supply increased prices to punish voters for not voting for a Republican in 2020?

It's actually just corporate greed. The "inflation" is the excuse.

I wonder if writing that up is a full-time job. I'd love to interview chickens.

The bird flu is likely affecting all of North America. Mine is commentary on Canada vs States rxns on the price of eggs.

I can’t imagine the focus on eggs for most of 2024 didn’t impact the price hike as well.

What state doesn't have tax at the checkout?

Not necessarily better. My uni did experiments to see how far a chicken moved after being put in a free range pen, and they hardly move. Such pens are large and contain hundreds if not 1000s of chickens. (We tend to imagine free range as 15 hens in a flock, but that is miles away from the truth) Hypothesis was that since Chicken are flock animals tbey get stressed in these pens and the weaker ones now are on the outside of multiple flocks leading to more stress and feather picking as dominance never really are settles. Roomy cages with proper perches and such paradoxically might be "better" for industrially farmed chicken.

Not on food, they don’t (most places in the US, as far as I know, right?)

Mass media is one hell of a drug. I remember the Swift Boat Veterans making the 2004 election about whether or not John Kerry faked his war wound to win a purple heart. And then there was the 1988 race, where the national news collectively shat itself over Dukakis doing a photo op in a tank (OG Tankie).

Conservative news outlets hammering every outlet with "Eggs! Too expensive! INFLATION! INFLATION! INFLATION!" stories made this a touchstone for a low of traditional media consuming voters.

Huh, i am not that observant i guess. Just pulled out a receipt and you're right. No tax on the groceries.

At first my brain started assuming you were just memeing a monologue from Deus Ex, then I realized this was an original comment. How sad is that? It just be here.

...just without the neat cyberpunk stuff. Lol
