    In other news, global economic crisis caused by American geriatric continues to enrage middle America.

        I'm so old that I remember the days when you threw eggs and toilet paper at the houses of people you hate.

                  The article is mainly about bird flu outbreak. Relevant to the price of egg is this snippet:

                  ... the US, where 43 million laying hens were either killed by avian flu last year or slaughtered to prevent the disease from spreading. Those losses took out almost a third of the national flock of laying hens; according to the US Department of Agriculture, they cut into egg supplies so much that prices at the end of the year were 210 percent higher than at the end of 2021. ...
