Eggs may be cheaper than when they were during culling/avian flu, but food sure isn't. Where I am most grocery items are now 50-70% more expensive than last January. The milk I buy weekly at the grocery store has increased 67% since then. Beef is roughly 50% more, and I haven't even had steak since late 2024 at this point. That isn't sustainable.

Why did you go to 'eggs'? -- An avian flu issue, not an inflation issue. We're struggling not just because of healthcare or housing but because everything is being optimized/maximized for value extraction. Variable pricing, rampant plagiarism, counterfeiting, fraud in every industry, in every political office. the stocks are being propped up with the promise of value that has circular investing, monopolies are basically encouraged. Gas and food is relatively benign even with shrinkflation and petrol dollar (not for long) preference.

It's not the biggest expense, but adding another $100 a month to gas when Americans are already relying on debt to cover bills doesn't spell a good omen.
