Curious when that cost is based on. Given future contracts are often purchased in advanced, those prices could reflect prices from months ago, when the wholesale market price was 1/3rd of the current price. Guess still not technically a loss leader if they price current inventory based on what they are paying for future inventory though.
Yeah, local prices can very a lot. My local prices are pretty similar to the ones in this article. But some places have been over $10/dozen for some time.
USDA’s puts them at $7.74/dozen based on futures and project to get to nearly $10 this year. Given eggs can often be loss leaders, actual prices might not match contract prices everywhere, but stores trying to bring in customers and increasing other prices to compensate means looking directly at consumer egg prices might be misleading.
Just because those are there (I assumed it was a legal requirement), doesn’t mean most people actually factor in the difference.

But as the conversation continued, they actually started talking about how super wealthy people worth hundreds of millions aren’t paying their fair share of taxes, how they’re ruining towns and making middle class people pay for it, and things like that. Specifically they were talking about some of the environmental damage done to waterways by rich people (they mentioned someone specific but it wasn’t a name I am familiar with and I don’t recall what it was) and how the clean-up is being paid for by middle class tax payers.
I’ve also heard conservatives complain about Trump’s plans in Gaza because “my taxes are going to give free condos to them! 😡” while also saying the government military spending is something they support without understanding how USAID is part of the MIC they seem to claim to support. Some seem to think spending money on bombing others is how you make America safe instead of making it more dangerous…
Even the people who voted for him or are closely involved with his election are also confused because they haven’t got their exceptions.
As long as they can convince advertisers that the enough of the activity is real or enough of the manipulation of public opinion via bots is in facebook’s interest, bots aren’t a problem at all in the short-term.
Only up $0.65/dozen since his inauguration from the already record high price…
Decamillionaires should not exist as long as there is still poverty anywhere in the world.
Crisis or opportunity for “job creators” to hire at lower wages?
