    Guys solution would be something like an executive order saying, ‘Eggs cannot be sold for more than $2 a dozen.’

    Then nobody would sell eggs any more because they would be losing money, or there would be some bullshit loophole where you could sell single eggs at any price, but they would have to be packaged separately, which would land us back at $12 a dozen, having to waste plastic wrap every time we crack an egg.

      Honestly, government intervention in food supply pricing and shortages is not new and we have ways (subsidies/tax/health mandates) to change the price. Not saying we should intervene, but if we wanted to do it, there are ways.
