The weirdest part to me is eggs haven’t gotten that crazy yet. Like the $1.50 packs of eggs are now $6 for a dozen, and I’d buy a dozen every 2-4 weeks so my costs are largely unchanged despite the 4x increase
In case you aren’t aware, the egg prices are through the roof because bird flu (H5N1) has been spreading rampantly through chicken and cattle herds. If it mutates to where it can spread person to person (some cases have already jumped to humans, and some humans have already died of it) we’ll easily have a second “once in a lifetime” pandemic on our hands

To me the problem is if we can’t fix something as simple as egg prices, how will we fix something as complicated as housing?
In the grand scheme of things eggs still aren’t that expensive but they’re an indicator that things are much more broken than most people realize

Yes, this is incredibly well known.
