    $3.99 here. I can almost guarantee what happened to drop the price is that they stopped testing for bird flu. Milk also halved in price at the same time. I haven’t seen milk this cheap in 20+ years.

      😂 milk/eggs are the same price here in my state. You guys were/are just getting fucked by standard capitalist behaviors. Nothing has fundamentally changed this year for those price drops.

      I assure you testing for bird flu in no way results in a 20% price drop, let alone whats being claimed by this admin. Testing is dirt cheap likely less than a fraction of a cent per egg.

      The reasons prices sky rocketted is because the flu killed off the chickens not because of testing.

      Food safety inspection (including bird flu testing) does not make up that much of the cost of eggs.

      Capitalists are passing their fuckup costs in to you. A shitload if birds died any you paid to float them until new birds were ready. Why is this so hard to understand? Why are you subtly astroturfing this “actually it’s Biden’s fault because they did egg testing” shit? Fuck off with this neocon propaganda.

        I can’t even formulate an argument to your unintelligible drivel. Go back to the flat earth hole you crawled out of.
