[OC] Egg prices in the U.S. have increased by 14% in the last two weeks

I’ve just stopped using eggs at this point.

And last I checked, still no real substantive announcements on how prices are going to be reduced or executive orders related to that?

Not only have prices increased, there seems to be some panic buying going on. There literally weren’t any eggs in the case yesterday at my local Whole Foods market.

Well new chickens don’t grow overnight so it’ll be a minute until the chicken population is back to healthy numbers.

I for one am enjoying the delicious irony that the one food we chose to focus on in terms of inflation became the one food that skyrocketed in price because of a special circumstance, and the side of the fence that is far less capable of sorting those things out won’t be able to put together the argument on why it actually isn’t the great orange dreamsicle’s fault.

How about plane crushing incident %?

Teach me how tariffs can lower egg prices

Guys, half your government is gone and you’re still talking about egg prices.

Three plot points over two weeks on a graph scaled to showcase the 14% increase as much as physically possible next to a picture of eggs. Absolutely gorgeous data.

Nice job, American voters 👌. Such a wise decision.

Go buy a chicken they shit an egg everyday

I watched egg price at my local store raise almost 100% in the past four days.

They are culling more crops of chickens since this avian flu hit hard last year.

My local Kroger has them on sale this week for $4.99 foe 18 and I’m expecting 0 to be in stock.

I keep wanting to make breakfast burritos but am not spending $30 on eggs alone.

is this toilet paper crisis all over again, looking from europe i see another buying craze

Where the hell are eggs priced this high? You all in Alaska or Guam or something?

It was never about the egg prices.

It was about white, evangelical resentment towards a changing world.

If I have to pay $7 for a dozen eggs, I know that I will eat each of those eggs when I need to.

But if I pay $500 a month for health insurance. I’d expect to use that coverage when I need it.

Bottom line is. Eggs are guaranteed regardless of how much you pay. Medical coverage is not.

Don’t get distracted away from the real issue.

Anyway, I think im going to make an omelette for breakfast now.

It’s from the bird flu. They culled 100 million chickens.

Trump said once prices go up, they usually don’t go back down. Mark his words.

Maybe kneecaping government agencies and their ability to communication could have prevented a spread of bird flu that culled thousands of birds…nah this was Bidens fault.

Where are all those dumbasses saying, ” DAT TRUMP EFFECT ” at every semi-positive headline after election day?

THIS is the REAL Trump effect. People losing their rights across the country. Billionaires dictating what happens to federal employees who have often dedicated their lives to the country. Allies no longer looking at us as an ally. Costs of goods skyrocketing. Despite the last thing, he still implements tariffs which will do nothing but skyrocket the prices even more. For-show Deportations doing nothing but harming agriculture and construction industries nationwide. Bible thumping Nazis shoving their nose into everyones business, dictating what they think everyone should be doing. Trying to control and marginalize women and anyone who isnt a white male.

You’ve never seen egg prices increasing like this. Big increases. Tremendous. They’re saying it’s all 12 inches of hard increase.

Trump has signaled to corporations and billionaires that it is open season on the American consumer.

So are they increasing to make up the difference from the whole chicken virus or is it just companies being aholes wanting to cash in?
