Egg Prices Soar

This week, I noticed something shocking: the price of eggs has almost doubled. $11 for 18 eggs? Nearly $20 for 30. That’s absolutely absurd.

For the first time ever, I saw a note taped to the refrigerator door at the store, explaining the high prices. It blamed supply chain disruptions and the avian bird flu outbreak. But this isn’t just unprecedented—it’s worse than the egg price hikes we saw in early 2020. What’s next? It has been clear to me that over the course of the past few years, there has been a push to increase the prices of such food, eventually making it nearly impossible for the average person to buy. However, I will not get into why I believe this is being done in this article, as it’s a complex issue.

Are we really supposed to accept these sudden and drastic increases as the new normal? The mass slaughtering of hundreds of thousands of healthy animals is both inhumane and senseless. As usual, there are most certainly ulterior motives at play—driven by control rather than necessity. But the damage is already done.

The question now is: will the new administration follow through on promises to lower prices? Or will we see these costs continue to climb? Sadly, when prices spike, they rarely return to normal.
