One could argue that Capitalism doesn't have this problem and that the current USA is much closer to how the USSR and China opetate.
Canada has eggs. EU countries have eggs.
10 eggs in my EU country is from 2,5 to 3,5€, depending of the way they keep the chickens.
I suspect that in some countries supermarket cartels are using the American egg shortage being in the news to increase their margins.
You can get 15 at ~2,55€ where I live
What sick, uncivilized, heathen place is that where eggs sell by the 15!?¿! Infidels!!!
Different size cartons, that was the best per kg
Well in the USA they were about over $2/dozen in previous years and rose to an all time high of over $8/dozen a little while ago, so the 2.5 to 3.5 seems a bit inconsequential.
I don’t think they meant an increase from 2.50 to 3.50 but a range between eggs from caged and free range chickens.
We had so many eggs this week the dogs got one as a treat lol.
One could also argue that the USDA killed like 12 million chickens under Biden.
Clearly not enough. Bird Flu kills 90% of infected birds, if culls and management had been more efficient then it wouldn't have spread as much as it has.
I believe even as far as January over 134 Million poultry in the USA had perished and another 111 Million birds between February and March.
Canada, despite sharing borders and markets, has seen much lower casualty rates because their farms are smaller, about 25k birds average compared to US farms as large as 1 Million birds.
Whatevers going on in the USA is because of lack of government intervention, and it absolutely will continue to get worse under Trump.
Luckily there have been no new major outbreaks in March, leading to a decline in price, for now.
