I’m not a fan of this administration and consider myself pretty far left. Having said that, I watch the egg prices from time-to-time because Trump loves to use this line about fixing the egg prices in one week. At the moment, seems like they are down? Could be the USDA is lying; could be the meme refers to CA prices, which are statistical outliers at the moment.
I’d say the chart feels accurate for what I’ve experienced for prices. Energy has spiked so badly around us.
Yeah, the pandemic was a complete shift, and I have 0 faith in the current economic policy. Tariffs won’t yield benefit for the average American and will often cost them more. Isolationism is a terrible policy when our main “products” are financial services, and the average American would never accept the wages of the global south. Even if we had factory infrastructure (which we don’t), the margins don’t make sense. We’ve also got bubbles on bubbles of fictional value (micro loans, housing, AI…). Tech is also imploding for the average worker, so less middle class opportunities.
I feel like my confidence in the American economy is at an all-time-low each day, lower than the last.
I’m not sure I would trust the chart on that page. Not only does it conflict with the numbers lower down on the page, but it says the average price for a dozen eggs is like $3. Looking around online, the cheapest I could find for a dozen eggs (across multiple states) was over $3.
Also, ancedotally, by me eggs have been going back up again from about $5.50 to over $7.
They are lying, I purchased 2 dozen organic, free range eggs for $4.59 this Sunday from Costco in Cali, which translates to $2.30 per dozen of hipster premium eggs.

eggs have been pretty stable here the last several months, but they’re still over triple the ‘pre pandemic’ price.

That’s a good observation. How can the highest and lowest prices be between $6 - $11, but the average is $3?
Because that’s not the average price, that’s the average cheapest price
