        You could always come up to Canada and get yourself some eggs for the equivalent of about $2.50 US. Of course, the prices up here are high because we have a marketing board that limits competition.

          I am not sure if you are telling me thats a low or high price. A few weeks ago I purchased a dozen and the cheapest one was $6 US and the highest reached $10. I havent seen it this bad even when it was at its worst a few years ago.

          From my understanding, the prices have gone up again due to bird flu causing the killing of a lot of chickens. Has this not been the case there?

            I was being ironic. We have an egg marketing board, so prices don’t fluctuate very much. To be honest, I don’t really understand why us prices are consistently so much higher. Occam’s razor would suggest that it is Monopoly control of the market.

            We usually buy our eggs directly from local people who have free-range chickens. We end up paying CAD $5 a dozen, about $3.50 US. In the supermarket, eggs start at about CAD $4 a dozen.

      No. Still might be a cheaper way to get antibiotics now.

      Yep! They’re now only 0.0001 insulins instead of 10 insulins! That’s a 1,000,000% reduction!

      Fucking eggs are 8 dollars a dozen here. We don’t buy them now.

      He needs an executive order to force crops to be sold instead of rotting on the vine. Until he does that, prices remain.
