Americans and everyone else constantly complaining about food prices. Meanwhile us in Canada being fucked by the same three companies and a government who (regardless of party) hasn’t shown they give a flying fuck on lowering anything.
Even when Americans had the big egg shortage last year it was coming up to the average prices of eggs round me.
Utter bullshit. Half the time I’m too broke to afford food.
Is there a difference between regulations regarding eggs between the US and Canada? Eggs in the US are dirt cheap because almost nothing surrounding poultry is regulated. I’m happy to pay the premium in Germany for minimum living conditions, antibiotics restrictions, no culled male chicks, etc. but I also realize that not everyone here is as fortunate.
It varies by state. If you’re selling into certain states, your chickens must have at least a certain standard of living. Unfortunately, eggs probably aren’t often shipped across state lines, in which case it doesn’t mean anything for farmers in other states and they can still abuse their chickens. https://cagefreelaws.com/
In the current economic system, widespread lowering of prices is considered to be harmful. So it’s not really possible without major economic reforms. Best solution is to increase wages/income to offset higher prices.
Not really the issue. Deflation is a transfer of wealth from debtors to creditors which is not necessarily healthy. It also encourages hoarding money which can cause job losses.

boo-hoo. Profits are not guaranteed.

The only way a legislated raising of wages works is by initiating price controls, otherwise corps can and will raise prices to protect profits
