Guardian: Cal-Maine’s profits more than tripled compared with the same quarter last year – and are nearly eight times as high as at the start of the bird flu outbreak in February 2022, according to financial results published on Tuesday. The company, which produces 20% of the eggs eaten in the US, made $1bn in windfall income in the first three-quarters of the financial year – the profits extracted after accounting for production, processing and transport costs.

On Tuesday, Cal-Maine said that its sales almost doubled to $1.42bn in the fiscal third quarter, which ended on 1 March, primarily down to raising egg prices, which has hurt consumers who rely on the once affordable protein source. But the company’s shares then fell by more than 4% after acknowledging that it was being investigated by the justice department’s anti-trust division. Mississippi-based Cal-Maine said it received notice of the investigation into egg price increases last month and that it was cooperating with the investigation.

Congressman just ripped into Trump trade rep in House hearing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgL5QgIk8d0

Trump's Trade Rep appeared to learn about the 90-day tariff pause in the middle of a House hearing. Rep. Steven Horsford grilled him immediately:

"Is this market manipulation? Who benefits? What billionaire benefits from this?“

Democratic lawmakers across four states have introduced bills this year to stop what’s been dubbed “surveillance pricing” — the term for when a business charges customers different prices for the same product depending on their personal information. #economy #Democrats #pricegouging

@GossiTheDog pretty shure #Apple's #Greedflation will not result in their #iPhone|s and other products to be sold #cheaper in the #EU, but instead they'll do #PriceGouging even harder!

Or does anyone expect Apple to stop #overcharging for their #AntiRepairDesign|ed products???

I noticed something when I was at the store yesterday to pick up one item. I thought about picking up a 20 fl oz Mountain Dew as well, which Safeway is selling for $3.49. What?!

If you buy a 2 liter bottle, a larger size of Mountain Drew at Safeway, it's $3.29, or .20 cheaper. How is that possible?

If you buy a 20 fl oz Mountain Dew at 7-Eleven, typically the most expensive way to buy anything, it's $2.69

Safeway is price gouging.

You could shop at 7-Eleven and save money 🤔

I've said this before, don't buy beverages of any kind at Safeway.
