So it’s lifted the zero tolerance Covid thing and I think I seen or read that they ain’t keeping track of cases nor deaths? I may be wrong I seen that so many people are dead from Covid that they’re are lines in the funeral homes , morgues etc but they believe it has peaked they say it’s jus a matter of time before it gets here as usual unfortunately I’ve caught all the strain’s except the last one each one a little different in the way you feel but let’s go back to Mr Demetria “Biden” he told CNN on a interview the pandemic was over ? Then at a conference one day said we need money to save for the next pandemic they will be another pandemic? Booster booster cmon oh yeah and the eggs man god damn imma get me some chickens to lay eggs they’re sky high inflation may have peaked but we are still creating jobs I wonder why Biden people that didn’t have to wrk are working or people working are getting 2-3 jobs just to afford those god damn eggs ridiculous

I buy an 18 pack of organic eggs. Usually 5.49 or 5.99. Now it’s sometimes 6.49. Maybe it went up a buck but I shop the coupons too so i still pay about 5 or 6 bucks.
Me and the wife go thru 2 or maybe 3 of those boxes a month.
Maybe I spend $3-5 more a month.. we both work so my share is maybe 2 bucks a month extra.
Lol at people for real bitching about the price of eggs.

Eggs were wildly under priced for a long time. When 36 eggs at costco were $2.50 you simply could not get eggs cheaper. My coworker had 60 chickens and when he heard about the prices Costco sells for he lost his shit. He was spending an hour a day collecting eggs. He made $40 an hour at work. Those eggs weren't paying for themselves even after he sold a dozen or two at $2/ea.
Inflation is slowing though. A year from now it's probably going to look pretty good.

Egg price increase is not from inflation though. It is entirely from the fact that 10% of the egg laying hen population was euthanized last year to stamp out a highly infectious avian influenza outbreak. Total supply last year was down 5% overall but egg consumption increased. This causes the cost to skyrocket by 60%.
If you're really concerned OP, eat less eggs.

The actual cost of food is not all that is measurable when comparing input vs. output. Having food security is invaluable, hence THE REAL value of raising your own food.
I'm kicking myself daily for not planting broccoli last September.

I'd think THE REAL reason to raise your own food is the ease with which you can commit insurance fraud against the USDA, but, I'm no farmer, I just know a bunch of them.
