Why are eggs selling for $8, $9, $10+ a dozen?

Actually, here in the Black Hills, they are still just under $7/dozen, at least on Sunday last. But we hear of skyrocketing prices across the country.

A correspondent has shared part of the answer to the question: Mass Destruction of Livestock Backfiring with Greater Zoonotic H5N1 Spread

Our TPOL correspondent expresses his doubts about both the motives of the cullers and their sanity, and adds: ” Instead, we, the not-so-rich, can’t afford eggs. Take reparations out of cullers’ assets, most definitely also including their retirement accounts!”

The story reports 100 million chickens (laying hens) wiped out early in 2024. It is probably nearer 200 million “culled” now, nationwide.

Because Colorado (source of eggs at least for Safeway stores in the Hills) outlawing caged egg-laying, causing many egg producers to go out of business and raising costs enormously, eggs are sky-high even in the Dakotas, Wyoming and Montana. And even so, sometimes shelves are bare: the supply is limited.

But this smells like a repeat of the Beer Flu Pandemic Panic in so many ways, does it not? We have all the panicked news stories about bird (not beer) flu and stories (and rumors) of bird-to-human and egg-to-human and even human-to-human transmission. Familiar, anyone?

Gain-of-function “research” is claimed to be one of the reasons for the spread, through wild mallard ducks. We see that government agencies’ mixture of malevolence and bumbling incompetence are all here.

Why? Perhaps with the clear objectives of population control in multiple ways? And once again, the standard operating procedures (SOP) as followed for decades are shown to be of little utility (for their stated purposes). And indeed, not supported by real research or demonstrated results. We point out that these SOPs are generally dictated – often mandated – by government agencies.

Knowledgable (and honest) people recognize that we Americans (and everyone else) can not trust the CDC, and that such as been the case for decades. We must also recognize that many (indeed, virtually ALL) government agencies can not be trusted to tell us the truth. To act in our behalf. To be rational. That particularly is now obvious when we come to the US Department of Agriculture and its agencies and organizations. (Obvious to more and more people, that is.)

All of this points to even more rot within the various feral agencies than even all but the most outrageous of conspiracy theorists have feared. Bluntly, whatever enabling act or charter or mission statement says should be totally ignored. Their real missions are whatever politicians and the deep state powerful bureaucrats have

But other than the general objectives of more power and control, more wealth, and satanic allegiance, what are the motives? And what are their specific goals? On what timetable? (We know, we expect miracles or mindreading!)

However, the major item of concern is not their objectives, but rather how to deal with the fallout from these matters. How to get eggs (and many other items) at an affordable price, and how to anticipate what is next to happen. And also, combat the inevitable efforts on the part of politicians, public health and other bureaucrats, and the medical system from trying to force yet another vaccine on Americans.

TPOL suggests the answer is to stop trusting government, stop accepting the power of government over our lives, and taking back power for ourselves. Not in unions or parties or even companies, but as individuals. Grasping decision making power in our hands – and accepting the burden of responsibility for our actions.

Based on technology, and on what we know are socially and morally worthy actions and activities? We should see eggs selling for 2-3 cents each, or 25 to 35 cents a dozen. Together with thousands of other food products. With open markets and opportunities available to offer a better product for a better price. But all of these problems can be laid in part on the head of governments: taxes, regulations, laws, abuses and corruption. The rest, sadly, can be laid at the feet of ordinary people who surrender their liberties for the sake of a nonexistent security, who refuse to take responsibility, and who are fearful and so easily brainwashed.
