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.

    It’s because the current avian flu, chicken and egg farms are having to kill a metric fuck ton of their chickens. 😢 Meanwhile spray tan is already vowing to gut the CDC and leave WHO.

        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.
