Fun fact:

Egg prices are so high because they're used to make flu and covid vaccines.

The price spikes are driven by avian (bird) flu.

There have been several outbreaks here in the States over the past year or so and we're in the middle of yet another one.

I was able to get a dozen large eggs for about $1.60 in October; now they're at least twice that.

With this incoming administration -- the same one that botched the response to the last pandemic -- I don't know if that's possible.
