No conspiracy here. The largest egg producer in the US, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., reported a 110% increase in profits on November 28, 2022. They said it was mainly due to the increase in egg prices generally. Think about that. If you buy ten portable generators for $500.00 each, take them in your pickup truck to a Florida city where a hurricane has hit, and sell them for $1,000.00 dollars each (a 100% profit), you will be sent to jail. End of story, as you are a price gouger. But if you are Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., nobody seems to care. By my calculations, they are price gouging.
