Like I said to my family members when this topic came up the other day. "Egg prices are barely a blip compared to paying an extra 2 months rent per year for no reason"

If investigating collusion...I suggest starting with real estate.



Everything has gone up in price. Egg alone may be barely a blip, but people don't buy one dozen eggs per week to sustain themselves on. They buy a few bags of groceries, which have doubled (or more) in price in the last year where I live - that might be a few hundred per month extra.

That's entirely inconsistent with government data[1], which only report a 22% rise since pre-pandemic.
