A 4% decrease in supply was followed by prices that are 5 times, even 9 times higher.
It's a great time to gouge the hell out of customers.
Why are eggs so expensive right now? An industry expert explains
By Ryan Nickerson
Updated: Feb. 2, 2023 10:50 a.m.
Among the top Google searches around the Houston area is one from grocery shoppers wondering the same thing: Why are eggs so expensive?
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the lingering spike in prices is partly due to continued outbreaks of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus in commercial table eggs since last year. Since February, HPAI has led to the depopulation of nearly 40 million hens, a 5 percent decline from 2021.
Egg production also averaged a 4 percent decline from 2021, according to a USDA spokesperson.
Plus, during the holiday baking season, the demand for eggs rose. Now, a dozen eggs at H-E-B cost about between about $5 and $9 per carton depending on type, as of Feb. 2, according to the grocer's website. Walmart prices were about the same.
According to the USDA, eggs have been a competitive product against other animal proteins and consumers have responded with increased and sustained demand in November and December.
According to a January 6, 2023, report, recent record-high egg prices have begun to soften but as we get further away from the holiday season, and, "as the new year gets underway, more than a few consumers are looking to modify their dietary choices to support freshly-minted healthier lifestyle resolutions, and eggs remain a popular go-to option," the report reads.
The spokesperson also said that many retailers are focused on restoring their egg supplies to normal levels following the holiday demand and are not doing many promotions for eggs at the moment.

Not even relevant to the point.
But I understand why you're so eager to change the subject once again.

FUCK JOE BIDEN*.
And if anybody wants to parrot his SOTU bullshit about lowering inflation since he took office, this thread is right here for you to go back to and see when it started rising.
SPOILER ALERT: It was after 4th of July of 2021.

Quote:6ix, if you don't want to live in relative poverty, you have to understand, really, how America was designed. When will you understand that the Constitution was designed by the richest people in America (Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, etc.) to make them richer? Centuries later, the Constitution continues to make the rich richer because nothing has changed. There have been some legislative additions (Social Security, Medicare, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force) but those are always being attacked by the GOP because they take away money from the rich and give to the poor.

Houston ranks fifth among U.S. cities with most millionaires, report says
Megan Munce, Feb. 16, 2023
The rising tide of gasoline prices lifted not only corporate profits at Houston’s big oil and gas companies, but also the net worth of a host of executives and investors, pushing the number of millionaires in the metro area close to 100,000.
That was enough to place Houston fifth nationally, according to a new report, behind New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Of the 5.3 million people with wealth valued at a million dollars or more in the U.S., 98,500 live in Houston, the report estimates, making it the only city in the South in the millionaires' top five.
Another Texas metropolis — Austin — also fared well, buoyed by an influx of tech jobs, seeing its millionaire count surge over the past decade to more than 30,000.
Wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth and investment firm Henley & Partners produce the estimates by tracking wealthy individuals who are CEOs, founders, company presidents, or board chairs or directors. Wealth, according to the report, is "investable assets" such as property, cash and listed company holdings.
New York has the largest number of millionaires, with more than 340,000, according to the report. The San Francisco Bay Area was second with 285,000; Los Angeles was third with 205,400; and Chicago was fourth with 124,000.
Houston has always been home to a large number of wealthy individuals because of the oil and gas industry, according to David Lummiss, president and CEO of wealth management company Houston Trust Co.
Of the 11 Houstonians that cracked Forbes 400 richest Americans list in 2022, most saw their wealth grow over the past year as oil prices climbed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Houston's wealthiest resident as of 2022, Jeffery Hildebrand, is the co-founder of private oil and gas company Hilcorp and saw his net worth double to $11 billion this past year, according to Forbes.

I might have had poverty wages in the few years that I've worked since 2010, and zero income for the rest of them, but I don't live in poverty.
I'm the wrong person to be giving financial lessons to.
Save it for all those people making 6 figure incomes who are whining about inflation right now, m-kay?
