Not to mention, the $2.2T package on govt spending (the CARES act, again was Trump) wasn't the only factor. Supply chain issues as well as energy price shocks as well as just corporate greed.

Corporate greed has almost nothing to do with egg prices. What, do you think corporations all of a sudden became greedy which is why prices went up???

Because they knew we'd have to pay them, and they were using the pandemic as justification. So, yes it did affect egg prices. The price fixing for major egg distributors from places like Indiana like Rose Acre or Cal-Maine artificially raising egg prices up to 300% and that's not just a one off

That was the basis of your statement so if that's incorrect then your statement has no standing

The fact that the companies sell or manufacture the products or goods we need/want and would spend our money on it regardless of price because we would have no choice? Are you really this willfully ignorant or just generally this obtuse?

Buddy the consumption of eggs has fallen with the rise in prices. Obviously if eggs rise too high people wouldn't buy them as much, therefore companies have incentives in the free market system to not raise them to high Capitalism is the way to go

It's not just the eggs. It's everything, especially essentials. How is that hard to understand? They see the increased profits and want to keep them even if their costs go down. They also see how much they can squeeze from us incrementally.

You said it was the eggs, so let's start on that subject just a bit longer please. In your argument you say eggs are essential therefore corporate greed can set the prices as they wish, correct? If so, proving that they didn't NEED to be bought disproves your argument.
