    Horrible condition factory farming is unfortunately sustainable. The cost to produce eggs has not significantly increased and we’ve only culled ~4% of birds due to BF. On top of that i hear infections are slowing lately. But somehow prices have increased 4-10x, this shows prices are being fixed intentionally by the ~4 major US egg suppliers colluding.

      Yes that’s probably capitalism working as intended. 😋
      Kartels are illegal, but if they can agree silently on not lowering prices again, I guess there is little anyone can do.
