That is brilliant. The caveat is that anyone that understands the reference, significance, and warning probably is already on the right side. It will go right over the heads of the ones that are the problem.
No, that is not the issue anymore and has not been for a while. Last time, to stop this, the government had to threaten with anti cartel actions - the prices were suddenly down again.
You might be thinking drug cartel when you see the word cartel. A cartel is a group of companies in the same business colluding for reasons like to remove safety regulations or keep prices high. There is a worldwide diamond cartel that keeps those prices up and spreads bullshit about how your fiance won’t be happy without an expensive, natural diamond. Yes, there is even a cartel for eggs. They are loving bird flu because they can blame it for high prices.
Why does the US have high egg prices, but Canada and Mexico do not?
I imagine the US standard of shoving antibiotics into the chickens instead of vaccinating them probably doesn’t help
The eggs are woke
Damn transgenic eggs
*yolk
Didn’t you get the memo? Woke is out, DEI is in
Those eggs were DEI hires!!
Given that egg is actually a term used in some suitable contexts, it probably will be a dangerous word soon.
First they came for Enola Gay…

The Enola Gay was on the front page of BBC yesterday.
You ever wondered how 90%* of chickens in the US are female? Almost half of them are transgender!
*not the real number, it’s (un?)surprisingly hard to find.
Well it’s because male chicks are all wholesale slaughtered in big grinders.
Fun fact- technology exists to sex the eggs rather than the chicks but it’s a little more expensive so we have baby chicken grinders instead.
Some countries have mandated this, but they are a minority:

They think they can just hatch and get free meals!
Because there is a big bird flu in USA and it is being mismanaged by a government of idiots who rather insult every one.

What do the cartels have to do with eggs?

Same thing as the willi Wonka prequel.
There is not enough competition.
I’d like some sauce on this.
Example, convicted of price fixing
capitalism.
You’ld be surprised how scarce something like eggs can get in a state-run economy, too…
Or sugar. Or gasoline. Or butter. Or meat. Or passports.
