The economy is great. Everyone’s got jobs. You should run out and get two just to pay for groceries.
A couple of months ago you could get an entire box of 60 eggs for roughly $9 around Michigan, but over the course of a few months, we’ve seen those prices move further and further from a reasonable price.
Now it seems Michigan is truly doomed, as a mere dozen eggs are now at the all-time high price of $7.19 at a Meijer in Grand Rapids according to a post made by Meteorologist Brad Sugden.
$7 eggs are the new normal.
$7 a dozen? Why California eggs are so expensive – LA Times
No mention of the insane cage-free mandate in California that’s coming to Colorado.
A state law requiring that all eggs sold in Colorado’s grocery stores be cage-free goes into effect on Jan. 1, and businesses, producers and consumers will all feel the impact of the change.
The regulatory agency overseeing the transition expects to give grocery stores and other businesses time to upgrade their supply chains, so they can be fully compliant with the new regulations — meaning they won’t start handing out fines next month.
Same goes for producers, who will have until Jan. 1, 2025, to produce only cage-free eggs, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
And consumers will notice a change at the cash register once the mandate is fully in effect as the cost of a dozen eggs is expected to jump — by $1 to $2, according to one farmer’s estimate. “Producing eggs in a cage-free system costs an estimated 36% more than in a conventional production system” — and both inflation and supply pressures could make it even more expensive, the American Farm Bureau Federation reports.
Not a problem for the leftists imposing these laws. They have the money to spare. Everyone else? They can raise backyard chickens and then maybe cows.
Backyard chickens, a Facebook page has seen more activity and questions on how to raise chickens. Daniel Graves tells us having an endless supply of eggs means less stress.
“I do comparative shop as well to see what the egg market is doing and it’s almost criminal at some point,” Graves said.
Right now, you’ll pay anywhere from $5 to $6 dollars for a dozen. The jumbo eggs setting you back more than $7.
Graves said prices and the shortage in eggs is why he wanted to make an investment.
“For our own family (we) just to try and have a little bit more sustainability, than having to rely on a store,” Graves said.
This is life in Biden’s America.
It looks a lot like life in wartime. And it is. The war is the internal civil war that leftists have declared against Americans and that the Left has declared on mankind.
The war against mankind is a war against man and his means of survival — his reasoning mind. It is a war against reality and the facts of reality. The fact of reality that man is the rational animal and nature forbids him the irrational.
Leftism, in religious or secular form, is a war against man for being man (Original Sin), and a war against reality, a promise of Eternal Utopia through sacrifice and self-sacrifice, through altruism, either in an after-life or in a future that never arrives.
Christianity prepared the ground for Marxism. Man — every man — is now being sacrificed not for God and the after-life but for the chicken and her egg.
“Collectivism does not preach sacrifice as a temporary means to some desirable end. Sacrifice is its end—sacrifice as a way of life. It is man’s independence, success, prosperity, and happiness that collectivists wish to destroy.
Observe the snarling, hysterical hatred with which they greet any suggestion that sacrifice is not necessary, that a non-sacrificial society is possible to men, that it is the only society able to achieve man’s well-being.” – Ayn Rand
We all have to make sacrifices now and then.
But chickens in the back yard? Have you ever tried to catch a chicken? They’re fast and they’ll peck you if they get the chance. They aren’t as mean as ducks and geese but they aren’t nice. I live in an apartment. Where am I going to keep chickens or cows? I guess I could have a goat but they stink and eat everything in sight. And they always stare at you with those eyes with the satanic looking pupils.
If this doesn’t get them to ballot box nothing will. When they arrive they’ll find out that there are only $6.99 eggs on offer.
they’ll blame it on Putin’s egg price hike
Putin. He isn’t long for this Earth. The guy looks very unhealthy. Biden bad. In a pale Baltic kind of way.
As usual after having already conceded the entire game from the outset Republicans decide its time to launch an election protest for the forgotten man who is actually concerned with the price of eggs.
Dang and here I have a surplus of eggs. Oh well time to go collect some more
I’m sure you and your egg laying chicken are very happy. In the meantime there’s a country to destroy.
8 bucks here last week
The redistribution of wealth, by the elite of the wealthy, using the power of the purse through political persons not bothered by bribery and corruption, will, at the apex of its power, be taken down by the one they hate the most.
The meek will inherit the earth was not a prophecy made in vain.
They aren’t that high here yet ($4/Doz), but they have gone up by 30-40%. WIC is indexed to inflation, so the freeloaders won’t suffer, just the paying customers.
In general I have no idea how people are working for minimum wage. Grow lots of plants and you make more with food prices.
