Egg prices are soaring, breaking new records as the bird flu outbreak grows.
Why it matters: No food item has been as much of an inflation poster child like eggs, and their prices often give a clue about the economic environment.

Driving the news: A dozen large eggs in the Midwest "hit an unprecedented $6.07 per dozen" on Thursday, surpassing the previous record of $5.46 set in December 2022, according to price-reporting service Expana.
  • In California, prices have reached $8.97, a 70% increase in the last month, per the U.S. Department of Agriculture's egg markets report.
  • Reports of egg shortages have been on the rise and some retailers are limiting how many eggs consumers can purchase.
The big picture: Donald Trump campaigned on bringing down grocery prices but said in an interview with Time magazine that it may be difficult to do.
  • "Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down," Trump said in the interview. "It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."
Yes, but: The sluggish federal response to the H5N1 bird flu outbreak could become more disjointed and ineffective in the second Trump administration — if it isn't abandoned altogether, Axios' Tina Reed reports.

Why egg prices up again​

Zoom in: Karyn Rispoli, Expana managing editor for eggs in the Americas, told Axios that Thursday marked "three straight weeks of record-breaking daily price increases, though the pace of gains is starting to moderate, suggesting the market may be nearing its peak."

"The primary driver behind these historic prices is the ongoing spread of avian influenza, which has claimed over 20 million layers during the fourth quarter, a time that also coincides with the year's highest demand period," Rispoli said.

What they're saying: Brian Moscogiuri, a global trade strategist at Eggs Unlimited, an egg supplier based in Irvine, California, told Axios that commodity and cage-free eggs have hit record highs.
  • "We're moving beyond the holiday baking season but at the same time, we are continuing to monitor avian flu and the impact on supply," Moscogiuri said. "Production is extremely tight, probably at some of the lowest levels since avian flu started back in 2022."
  • Emily Metz, president and CEO of the American Egg Board, said in a statement to Axios that "the volume of eggs sold at retail has been up year-over-year for 20 consecutive months" and that the winter holidays are the highest demand season of the year.
  • "These two forces combined — tight supply and high demand — are directly causing the spike in wholesale prices we've seen recently," Metz said.

It's totally just the flu guys, not an organic increase in price that started BEFORE the 2022 flu excuse.

"an inflation poster child" yeah because the recent spike everyone complains about is exactly in line with the larger inflation trend.

You don't get to pretend there's no inflation problem when the data is showing a precisely measured inflation problem.
 
The price of eggs goes up so they can make more vaccine. They use the chicken embro the manufacture the vaccine but it can’t already be exposed to the virus. So they have to buy up all the eggs and store them in a top secret facility where they’re inoculated with the deactivated virus. You don’t get eggs Goy, but you’ll get your flu booster.
 
Chicken flocks and egg production are only down 2 to 3 percent vs last year, and culls happened more in spring and summer than recent months. This is just price fixing.
 
[deranged circus music drags on]

Also it seems bird flu is a 21st century thing.
 
The uk wants all backyard flocks registered. It’s illegal to feed your chickens kitchen scraps.
We had a period this time last year where there were no eggs at all in the supermarket- not battery eggs, not regular and not fancy ones. No eggs at all.

Things are certainly being used as excuses, to get the masses used to the idea of going without and or paying $$$$$$.. The elites and eco tards wan everyone eating bread and drinking water, locked in bug nests in 15 minute bug hives.

Not enough people, particularly in the UK, ever knew or understood what exactly was done to "halt" the FMD outbreak in 2001.

Driven by prof Neil Ferguson, whose model informed the lockdowns. That model was shown to be nonsense. His lover, who he broke the quarantines he supported to sneak out and see, is some kind of ultra leftist agent for a rather peculiar NGO.

They’re going for cattle culls aren’t they? Reminder that the Uk has had two huge waves of cattle culls from foot and mouth disease. The necessity of such drastic killing was debated but the government insisted Experts Say we must, so there were literal pyres of burning cattle everywhere and travel and movement restrictions for humans as well.
Who was the guy behind the expert model? Prof. Neil ‘shagger’ Ferguson, whose model was also used to lock us down in Covid. Fans of tyranny may remember that he snuck out to shag his lover while insisting the rest of us be locked down. Fans of Noticing Things may recall that his lover is a lady called Antonia Staats. https://archive.ph/QY4oU
Antonia is a left wing activist who works in a key role for the lobbying group Avaaz. Who are avaaz? Well, they ARE interesting. Fingers in all sorts of pies. Not just climate change but spin around various regional wars. They are, in short, exactly the kind of body who enact the globalist narrative and ruin lives. Read this

I’m sure it’s nothing though and nobody is going to start culling cows and reducing the supply of milk and dairy. Maybe
Oh and I knew a guy who worked in waste disposal and apparently they screwed farmers over so badly they ended up burning the cows on their land using diesel often as an accelerant, and ‘put other stuff in too’ and then the resulting ash waste was so toxic they had to dispose of it with incredibly expensive methods. So expensive that some couldn’t afford it without being bankrupted so they just buried it, which then caused contamination of land and water. Apparently there was an entire grift industry just off the back of burning and disposal.

With hindsight, the foot and mouth outbreak was very peculiar indeed. Apparently the second one came from ‘a broken drain’ at the pirbright institute.
I wish we had real journalists who would look into this stuff
