    Or eggs do cost that much to produce in the US. Pinning this problem on Big Egg seems like the easiest solution, but I have an inkling this stuff goes deeper.

      Lol, “your inkling” aside, the fact is that there is no actual egg shortage. Your theory requires that eggs somehow became twice as expensive to produce in the US this past year. However, the price of eggs paid to producers has not gone up.

      Sure, “corporate greed” is my assumption, but only because it’s behind nearly every problem facing this country.
