And on fires at producer plants next week.
Labor costs up because no one want to work anymore.
Feed prices up due to the rise in the price diesel fuel costs.
DOT limited drivers hours if you can even find drivers.
Its not the producer getting rich. Not the end supermarket either.
Products like mayonnaise that have a lot of eggs are also going up. Was FDR who said a chicken in every pot and Biden said a chicken in every yard.
I’ve very much noticed the jump in egg prices.
I’ve heard it comes from cases of “bird flu” having the FDA ordering farmers to eliminate entire flocks.
After all this time, people still don’t know that about 50 million chickens were destroyed due to bid flu and so there’s a big shortage of eggs until more chickens mature???
It’s really old news by now. It has nothing to do with “inflation” it has to do with shortage of product.
Couple years ago, an $18 meal at a halfway decent restaurant was possible. Those days are long gone.
I just have to figure out how to keep them away from the pool and pool patio. They tend to crap everywhere.
They only need a hutch for nights and laying eggs, which they do between 8AM and 9AM as a rule.
Eggs have gone way way up over the past year. It’s part of bidenflation.
Of course if Trump was in office that’s all we would be hearing in the news. Stock Market is terrible, retirees can’t afford to be retired any longer. Food prices are sky rocketing and people need to eat generic brand dog food to survive.
Seems like a disincentive to "economies of scale". If, instead of one big facility, you had multiple smaller facilities, you would have less risk of being wiped out.
They’re culling entire flocks of chickens on the off chance there’s a bird flu case among them. Hundreds of chickens are destroyed, no meat or eggs taken, just eliminated. In the name of “public health.”
If you think food prices are bad now...
And that congressman idiot said when he grew up and food prices were high, they just ate Chef-Boy-R-Dee..
part of the conditioning. Prices jump 125%, the government promises relief but none really happens. Then prices jump again, they blame the companies. Then, because of the 250% increase in prices without a corresponding increase in salaries, the demand is lower. The lower demand leads to lower prices and the government will take credit for the prices having stabilized to 150% more than last year. It’s happening with gas prices right now.
Who is wagons?
Oh yeah
Dead birds don’t lay eggs
It’s not just food. Most everything’s near doubled in the past few years. Just looked at some goat/sheep field fence. Was $330 for a 330 foot roll. Current price is $479 for the same roll.
Just go for lunch, not dinner. We just had lunch for 3 at a nice Italian place for $45 including tax & tip
Oh pass the tin foil
The toilet paper “shortage” happened because stupid people went out and bought a years supply. Then we’re shocked when there wasn’t any left in the stores
Trump’s fault!
