Food Shortage & Price Explosion Thread

I'm sure that's taken out of context.

Probably a Mockingbird Network stooge was yammering about egg prices, implying - for the camera - how it's all Orange Man's fault; and Trump, being trumpy, lashed out.

Paid $2.99 for a dozen medium eggs yesterday, got two dozen. No doubt in my mind some gouging going on...a lot of much higher priced eggs too.

The price of eggs is dropping dramatically. Coincidentally, these price drops began shortly after the Trump administration announced that they were going to open investigations into price fixing by the nation's largest egg producers.

Stopped the wholesale slaughter of animals in egg-producing operations, too.

The evil, misanthropic WASTE from the people controlling Dementia Joe...coupled to the central theme of his misAdministration, that of SEXUAL DEVIANCE...ought to put proof to the assertion that homosexuality is strongly correlated with mental disorders, including sociopathy.

Paid $5.97 a dozen yesterday, most stores a dozen is close to 9 dollars, I'm buying steak, it's cheaper.

Not good steak.

I paid $9.97 for 18 eggs yesterday. The warehouse-style grocer I use, is slow to raise prices, and sometimes slow to drop them. They purchase from a poultry operation not far away, and the eggs are always cheaper, and fine in quality.

I'm back on a diet - intermittent fasting and modified keto - and eggs are a critical part of it.

You are right, I tend to catch steak on sale but eggs versus ground beef a better comparison... https://www.axios.com/2025/02/12/eggs-beef-cost-bird-flu

My local store had a dozen eggs for $6.49
And 18 for $13.49

NO! I am not joking. YES! I understand fully the arithmetic. Maybe they are just playing a game.

I used to see that a lot. The "Large Economy Size" was more per-unit than the small wasteful size.

Most states now require posting per-unit prices on everything - in small print, but for the math-illiterate, it helps.

Mostly, thinks I, it helps the morons who SET these prices - realize how stupid they look when they goof like that.

They catch the same group of people that the Nigerian scammers do...
