What? Sage LOL |
Eggs are up everywhere because egg framers lost over 43 million egg laying hens due to the avian flu.

Ten percent for the big guy?

We’re not allowed to talk about the root cause.
We’re only allowed to blame Walmart. |
If it is one person’s fault in US…why is every country experiencing same inflation? Does that person cause it over there too? Or does a different person cause it in each country? I traveled to separate continents in 2022 and there is inflation on at least three continents. I am seriously asking as I do not understand and am willing to learn. Thank you.

Then getting land leases were restricted. So as old wells dry up, no new ones are happening. Lowering supply more. Leases were partially allowed to happen, but on the worst land possible, and no guarantees they won't be revoked again. What CEO would risk trillions of dollars constructing new wells? Reducing natural gas supply, which powers electricity generation, forces generators to shut off. Oil powered generation is forced online to make up for that. And to generate power to charge all these green electric cars. Increased oil demand caused gasoline prices to go way up. That raises the cost to transport everything. Manufacturers and farmers pay more to get raw materials. There is a higher cost to get those goods to stores. Costs for equipment needed to manufacture, store, transport, warehouse, display, and sell all go up. Biden's "green" actions caused a huge portion of this inflation. And you pay for all of it, |

.....What I was talking about is INCOME disparity in the US, which has more of that than Finland, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand, Japan, and etc, etc. It is a KNOWN FACT that the discrepancy (wages difference) between the US is like 100 to 150 times greater for US CEOs than the average line workers. In JAPAN the discrepancy is about 10 times. And it is similar in Europe and other far east countries. The US has the most dicrepency. it was NOT that way in 1950 or 1960. The US rich have gotten richer and greedier than in other counties. That is part of the reason why costs are rising so much in the US. And the OIL and GAS industry and others are partly responsible because of US pay discrepancies. Tax % and brackets are BIG factor. All these factors are playing into current US Inflation, potential recession, and potential problems for Seniors on fixed incomes. |

If you are at Publix you have to be willing to change locations to anywhere within the district. So that $50k/year doesn't really make up for the fact that you have to drive an hour each way, you get no breaks, and if the next shift's boss can't make it, you're stuck there pulling a double - even if it's your kid's birthday and you promised to be home to make supper. Basically your $50/year job has to be your life. You don't get to say no. The only thing you learn about business and economics working at a diner is that some people overtip, and some people don't tip at all, and some people walk out without paying, you get pinched, abused, called "hey you," yelled at because your customer's steak was a shade too pink on the inside, threatened, pushed and kicked by little kids, tripped by "comfort animals," and if you don't smile and bend over and take it however the boss and your customers feel like dishing it out, you can business and economy yourself into a different job. |

If they do their job, they should be paid a living wage. If they don't do their job they should be fired. |

Of course there is, and needs to be, a stratification of wages based on responsibilities of the job, and the prerequisite education and experience. But by raising the minimum wage to $15-22/hour, it pushes first time job seekers out of the market. Perhaps that is why you observe all the Walmart workers to be "well over 18"----we have seniors flipping burgers at McDonald's because some are getting paid more than they ever earned in their working life. |

but what about the price of eggs at Walmart again?
|
Quote:
Vital Farms is also still available, those are $6.42/dozen. Also a premium organic pasture-raised brown. The Walmart factory farm white eggs are $5.22/dozen, which is highway robbery but that's what you get when you buy factory farm eggs. If you're gonna pay that much money, pay a little more and get the good stuff. Better taste, better baking, more protein in the whites, more nutrition in the yolks. |

........Personally, I think that large-group psychology has a bigger effect than is generally realized. If people THINK that there is GOING to BE a recession, then likely there WILL be one ! It is like a "self-fulfilling prophesy" . !!!!! |
