    before any one starts imagining bond-esque villains and plots to take over the world…

    it was just a conspiracy to jack the rates of the eggs up.

      Okay, but do you know how angry the average Facebooker is about the price of eggs? It’s a thing that certain people are quite upset about. Of all the inflationary hits, for some reason eggs have really hit theses folks’ funny bones.

        It’s because for the longest time, eggs were the cheapest and fastest way to get protein into your body. Especially compared to the cost of meat. But now, because of inflation, everyone is trying to be more frugal which just jacks the price of those goods and makes us all suffer more.

                If it is just a single egg, you can often just remove it and be ok. With two eggs add a bit more flour (banana also works but alters taste). More than that and no idea.

                At least that is what my fiancée says

        I mean, yeah. But there’s no submarines, or sharks with lasers, or anything.

        Its just plain old white collar price fixing. BoRiNg.
