An_Ugly_BastardI heard they jacked up prices due to the Avian Flu. They culled over 80,000,000 egg laying hens
That was 17% of the total population. The price went up by 400-900%, and there was never a shortage. As usual, we got shafted.
If the prices didn’t go up because of a shortage, because there was never a shortage, why did prices go back down again?
The law of supply and demand explains the price of eggs. If you’re saying it’s wrong then what’s your better egg-splanation?
SupercriticalThe prices went back down right after the federal government announced a price fixing investigation and a bunch of news coverage came out about how their claims were bogus.

It’s correlational, not causal. There isn’t going to be a definitive source on this
the federal government announced a price fixing investigation
a bunch of news coverage came out about how their claims were bogus
Then you can find it, if you really care.
No, what I care about (in this context) is other people making arguments that they can’t substantiate. I’m not spending my time trying to substantiate someone else’s arguments, I spend enough time doing that for my own.
Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
