Eggs are still like $3/dozen but it's a good thing Tim Wu & Co. are out there worrying about the "monopoly power" of social media platforms that people pay nothing to use, I guess.

Is that a lot for 12 eggs? Seems like they were always at least $2 around me. I pay $3.89 for a dozen pasture raised at Aldi which feels like a deal.

It was extremely not long ago that a dozen eggs in a grocery store in downtown Chicago cost $0.99

Wow, they haven't been that cheap here for years, I don't think, but they were only a couple of bucks or maybe $2.50/dozen until Pandemicon and the subsequent bird flu craziness. They shot up absurdly at that point; now they're down to ~ $3.50/dozen.

This is in L.A., to be clear, and I'm referring to just basic eggs, nothing fancy, at the local Kroger affiliate.

I appreciate you giving me the ammo to resist S.O.'s "why can't we just move out to California" pleas.

I mean, I like it here, but groceries aren't cheap. I'm lucky enough to have a tiny but absurdly inexpensive apartment in a nice neighborhood with the best landlords in the world, so that skews my outlook, I'm sure. I have no idea what's going to happen whenever they sell (they're in their 80s). :(

And *then* you have to buy your grocery bag(s)!

Well, not if you bring your own, which I'm fine with, so that's not an issue for me.

Sure, but who the hell is buying chacken eggs?

Even coastie paychecks are superior in midwest digs, Come home, Tim. You know where your destiny lies.

$2/dozen at my Walmart but also I would rather not be where I am, so.

Egg prices are high right now because of bird flu. Hopefully, that’ll pass.
