US egg prices increase to record high, dashing hopes of cheap eggs by Easter
apnews.com
U.S. egg prices increased again last month to reach a new record-high of $6.23 per dozen despite President Donald Trump’s predictions, a drop in wholesale prices and no egg farms having bird flu outbreaks.

Summary

U.S. egg prices hit a record $6.23 per dozen in March, defying Trump’s claims of relief and despite falling wholesale prices and no new bird flu outbreaks at egg farms.

Experts say retail prices lag behind wholesale trends and remain elevated due to Easter demand and slow recovery in hen populations.

While Trump tried to claim credit for recent price drops, economists note long-term issues persist. Cal-Maine, the top egg producer, faces a DOJ antitrust probe after profits tripled.

Some consumers are turning to fake eggs for Easter to cut costs.

    That’s oligopoly for you, mates. The only reason behind prices is greed. And more than half of magastan either voted for this or enabled it by not voting at all. So enjoy it, I guess.

    P.s: Sorry, I don’t have any more fucks to give, I’m tired of being screwed by the magastanian asshole even though he’s not my president and I couldn’t even vote in the elections of that country.
