Bird flu causing egg prices to soar to new record high

[douglas9]

Egg prices are soaring, breaking new records as the bird flu outbreak grows.

Why it matters: No food item has been as much of an inflation poster child like eggs, and their prices often give a clue about the economic environment.

Driving the news: A dozen large eggs in the Midwest "hit an unprecedented $6.07 per dozen" on Thursday, surpassing the previous record of $5.46 set in December 2022, according to price-reporting service Expana.

13. On day one!

3. Over $8 a dozen here in LA County, Cali...................

Bird Flu has a lot to do with the prices. But alas, prices are going upward because of shithole, comrades idiotic plans for the economy.

4. We lost because of the bird flu

and the price of eggs

[Takket]

5. Same reason it soared last time. Not that the media made any effort to make that clear to people

As long as it would help drumpf win, that was good enough for them.

6. Karma in action.

People voted for a dangerous psychopath criminal to be POTUS because they didn't like the high price of eggs.
Now the prices are going to go sky high.

15. What? POTUS doesn't set the price of eggs? Now you tell me! nt

7. Ripped off again by the "big indooor" egg producing factories

Whose chicken are relatively safe in a cloistered environment

[Shermann]

16. "Big Chicken" apparently needs to reduce their risk by getting ahead of it and rising prices. nt

[Macrophylla]

8. Regardless the real reason....

Going forward it is all trumps fault. Trump has caused the prices to skyrocket is all that should be stated. Facts DO NOT MATTER it's the perception of the Ignoratti and if you just say it enough times they will buy it.

I suggest that WE start using THEIR tactics against THEM. Exploit their gullability FULLY.

9. pretty crazy, as here in Sweden we just bought a 15 pack of KRAV (organic cert.) eggs for around the equivalent of 2 USD

10. We bought eggs at Ruler Foods on Thursday for $2.49 a dozen.

11. So MAGAts better not hold their breath waiting for low egg prices under Trump?

Imagine that.

[dem4decades]

12. Biden poisoned the chickens before he left to make Trump look bad.

[Vegan4life]

14. Just Egg liquid egg replacer

Made from mung beans. Delicious, cooks like eggs, can use like eggs in baked goods, you can't tell the difference. Loaded with protein.
Most important, cruelty-free.

Believe it or not, you actually CAN live without eggs.

[GusBob]

18. Raising chickens makes it cheaper?

Us backyard chicken farmers always joke about it. They do eat table scraps LOL

Taking care of them at 10 below ain’t fun the eggs freeze

And keeping the predators away is always a chore
