C'mon man. Here's why egg prices are up and you can't blame Trump for it. Biden was in charge in 2022.

Egg prices increased more than 8% from November to December, according to the Consumer Price Index, and the average cost of one dozen Grade A large eggs in December across the U.S. was $4.15—up from $2.52 at the start of 2024.

Experts say the increases will likely continue as long as outbreaks of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), which began in 2022 and brought record-high egg prices—reaching an average of $4.82 per dozen in January 2023—persist.

Disclaimer: On another thread I was accused of having knowledge of Trump's promise to lower the price of eggs, which I proved to be false.

Now, finally I have seen how ridiculous this whole flap about egg prices is.  Today, while grocery shopping,  I saw prices for a dozen of eggs vary from $4 all the way up to $10.39.  Other than the cheapest eggs being an advertised special (loss leader) how do you explain the wide variation in prices?
