Eggs are 10.99 in denver.

Or somehow corral some of the wild chickens that are running rampant on the islands

I'm pretty lucky where I live, my house used to be on the side of a lake, and the soil is very soft and easy to dig into. I've got a tiller attachment for my weed trimmer that I use to till the soil in the spring.

But even if you don't have good soil, you can still set up a hydroponics bay with whatever space you have available. It's not too expensive to get started either. Probably less than you'll spend on eggs these days. 😂

The US is horrendously backwards on animal welfare.

I usually pass this over but for a novelty account you might want to spell it right. "You're welcome!"

Nu-uh Fox and friends said it was DEI and wokeness causing eggs prices to soar.

I know it is fun to think about getting back at these people but it doesn't really work. They were never rational to begin with.

That is not the norm.

I was wrong. 18 states tax [groceries](https://youtu.be/n9yBXi-ytwM r ).

Prob NSFW link

What state doesn't have tax at the checkout?

It's ok, though. Trump has installed a loyalist who will scrub all mention of bird flu from the USDA website. Problem solved!

Look how well it worked out at the FAA!

Actual inflation or inflation mixed with greedy price increases?

We got cage free organic at 6.19/dozen here in Ohio. This seems a localized high

Colorado law only allows for cage free eggs as of January 1st of this year and had mostly already been all that's available here prior to this bird flu epidemic for maybe 6ish months and prices were not increased significantly as a result.

Regardless, this picture represents an extreme and not the least expensive eggs available at this particular store.

In Germany, you can't even buy eggs from cage farming anymore.

~~ Upstate NY and a dozen is between 8-9 dollars last I looked. ~~

I apologize, that's the 18 pack. I was reminded we got charged the 18 pack price but only had a 12. That was a four hour later going over the receipt find. This was a Price Chopper outside of Albany.

Yep I'm near Delaware so we have all the chicken farms at least near us. And our eggs are $4.5 for a dozen.

What a sensible, decimal system!

I wonder if writing that up is a full-time job. I'd love to interview chickens.

You mean Rocks? 🤣

We’re only talking eggs here, this is not an indicator of general inflation.

We had that too so prices are higher over say five years, but as far as I know, general inflation is under control. The biggest problem there is all the price increases blamed on “global supply chain disruption” from a couple years back: why haven’t they gone away since the disruption has?

na all the true Americans will just snatch up those jobs and prices will drop

Is the bottom image with or without sales tax? Usually in the US prices are shown without it (as it depends on state, county, etc), whereas in most EU countries and I'm assuming Germany as well, prices for consumer goods are generally shown with taxes included

Caged is already no longer available where I live, so the price I gave is for perchery eggs, medium sized. I would have added that it was for perchery, but I only learned that word 5 minutes ago from your post ;). In the last few years when caged eggs were available, a 6 pack of perchery eggs usually was the same or almost the same price as caged. I remember the price difference being so insignificant that I always bought perchery.

But there's bound to be so many regulatory differences, that probably even the perchery label will have different rules. And some of those labels are pretty empty. So imo for a simple comparison, it's still best to just compare cheapest with cheapest of the same size and ignore labelling/marketing.

Thanks for reminding me about him looking straight at the sun like a 2 year old.

I need a high resolution version so I can print some stickers.

I moved to California from Tulsa last year and that blows my mind. They're $12 here one per customer but Cali had made me numb to outrageous prices but that price in Oklahoma brings it all back.

Next thing you know you’ll be telling me Biden had no control over the price of gas! 😉

No one putting up an 'I did this' sticker actually gives a shit about the reasons for the price. And no one ever has.

If you try to get elected by blaming something on the currently elected official and say that you will fix that, be 100% prepared to take the blame if that thing gets worse even if it was something you had no control in whatsoever, because you stood up and took responsibility for it.

If you don't want to be blamed for saying stupid things, stop saying stupid things.

If only there was some sort of center for disease control that could assist the American public in combating illness. Surely, if such a center did exist, the president wouldn't hamstring them in some way in which may prevent farmers from taking action against infectious diseases destroying their livestock.

Oh, would you look at that, the president did hamstring the CDC by halting regular release of their scientific reports, and so it is, in fact, on him that bird flu is causing egg prices to soar.

And the CDC being ordered to not report any data on the avian flu via an executive order is also not the current administrations fault I guess?

I'm calling it Trump Flu, because why not.

In case you missed it from a few years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Did_That!

Say, is that the same CBS News who's parent company, Paramount, is currently in talks to settle a legal dispute with Heir Trump because he didn't like their accurate reporting about him so he sued?

Why yes, yes it is!

The primary problem is most people don’t understand inflation. Inflation is the speed at which things get more expensive. There is always creep up.

That’s what the 3% “cost of living” yearly raise is supposed to cover. It’s not really a “good job” raise, it just keeps your wage exactly the same as the prior year alongside inflation. Another thing a lot of people don’t understand, but that’s a bit of a digression.

So. Inflation speeds or slows but never reverses. Prices never go back down unless there’s recession. When the DC people talked about the economy being good they meant, in part, that inflation was fixed. We were back to 3%. The problem with that is it doesn’t bring down the price of anything. It only means that prices stopped jumping up so high compared to 2019.

So this idea that 2016 prices would return with Trump is based in a misunderstanding of economics. Prices don’t go back down.

In fact, like the COVID jump, I wouldn’t be surprised if the egg industry left prices up once the avian flu passes.

Joe Biden in office for four years: "I sleep"

Donald Trump in office for a week: "This is why your egg prices went up"

BlueMAGA is such a bleak turn for liberalism. We're abandoning any idea that federal policy might affect our material conditions. Presidents are just a panacea, an excuse to close our eyes and insist everything is actually great, right up until the election cycle breaks against us at which point its not our fault so we can acknowledge it again.

The only thing Democrats in leadership seem to have learned from movement conservatism is how to lie to their rank-and-file members. Now all we do is pass the buck from one failing administration to another, while asserting everything bad is caused by Wrong Party Backed By Evil Foreign Government.

No wonder the US is embracing genocidal fascism on a national scale.

More like $4.

quick, before the orange clown adds tariffs 😆

There isn't a massive bovine flu killing huge swathes of flocks...

Yeah, these are specialty farm eggs, cage free, and brown. They’re also stacked in with the organic eggs. They probably command a markup without the price increases from bird flu. This is also probably some trendier grocery store OP is shopping at.

Our “fancy” grocery store has a dozen cage free large brown eggs for $5.49, so either this is a local issue in Denver or OP is posting some BS engagement bait.

Even those Canadian eggs are relatively expensive to what I'm used to:

These are Euro prices.

What the heck happened to American eggs?

Denver is a special place, further its one city in a VERY large country and they don't cost anywhere NEAR that much in most places. I'm in the middle of Wyoming and 18 large eggs (Dozen and a half) cost $6.72. I can buy 18 Brown Cage Free Organic eggs (just like OPs) for 8.87.

Voila is a delivery service, not sure why they decided to pick that out of literally everywhere in the country

They are $3.60 a dozen at Costco ($2.50 USD) last time I was there

Generally, the staff and vibes are cool. I met some great people working there. They like to put up that front that they're trying to be cool and edgy. I was a cook for a long time at that point and flipping eggs isn't exactly hard or special, but they made it this big ordeal, which is fine but you can't look me in the face and tell me that what we're doing here is a culinary feat.

With me, I worked at their GCM location in L.A. and they were opening up a new spot in Glendale. They asked me to help open up the store under the stupilation that if I worked for so long and did 'X' things, I would get a promotion. When it came time for the raise and I had completed what they asked of me, I was constantly told it would happen, but they would give me the run around. Until finally someone else in the store was eligible as well, so instead of just giving us both the position they made us do a 'cook off' and when me and the other persons food came back exactly alike and they couldn't discriminate the begrudgingly gave me a portion of what they promised.

I cooked for them well, did what they asked of me, and came in on time so they couldn't fire me unless they wanted to pay me unemployment or maybe have me file a fucking lawsuit for unlawful termination. I just didn't play ball with their bullshit and didn't let them walk over me because they left such a bad taste in my mouth with my inital (verbal) offer being essentially reneged upon and they didn't like that at all. So they just made my job hell until I left. L.A. was hands down the worst place to cook. I'm sure there are a lot of opportunities there for people, but man if you aren't taken advantage of at every turn...

Oh, also. When L.A. raised their minimum wage, the store in Glendale didn't get the raise because it wasn't in L.A. and the whole store went on strike because of it. Don't know what happened with it. I just heard it second hand from an old coworker.

These fuckers are opening places all over THE WORLD and they nickle and dime their employees and generally treat them like shit. Fuck Jaime, and all of the owners (they were nice in person but they pulled the strings to make our lives hell).

Edit: forgot to say, glad you enjoyed your pancakes ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Must be the DEI chickens.

Couldn't have been, because that pompous dick Gaston eats the entire daily supply every morning to get jacked.
