I;m not a conspiracy person, but I think the auto-pen people in the Biden administration, pushed the price hike, since they think eating eggs is evil.

Egg prices skyrocketed because millions of birds were killed off due to bird flu. Biden Admin arguably went a little overboard with forcing more kills than necessary.

The destruction of millions of chickens due to the claim of “Bird Flu in the Biden Years! When clean eggs are hatched it still takes SIX MONTHS for those chicks to begin laying eggs, which would be right about.....now.

Thank you President Trump.
Biden deliberately slaughtered chickens just before handing over power, to drive up egg prices so the fake news media/Democrats could blame President Trump.
The crimes of the Democrats never end.

Bird flu has had several cycles of killing chickens and turkeys.
But they blamed the high prices on Trump

Makes sense...

I believe he was responsible for some milk dumping, too. And whoever heard of a baby formula shortage?

Pondering thought. Egg prices will decline eventually. I think businesses are taking note of the convenience stores owned by Indians. Fuel prices are not declining because almost every convenience stores are owned by Indians. Call it price fixing if you like. I was talking with an owner and about fuel prices and how inside sales is where the profit is. He fired back and explained that since the great Rona scare where they were making .10 per gallon they now make .25 per gallon because they all decided not to lower the price as a collective group in my local town.

Q: “What is the population weighted average price of eggs between states with Democrat and Republican Legislatures?”

Grok A:”Difference: Eggs cost about 24% more ($1.14/dozen higher) on a population-weighted basis in states with Democratic-controlled legislatures.”

Again, not in Oklahoma. Price gouging is real, and almost all grocery stores are owned by one corporation.
