Thanks for the link. The basics of that article are eggs are nutritious, and people don't like when prices increase.

This article implies eggs are a litmus test for instability in every day life, but I'd argue the US should already at red alert and eggs are the last of their issues.

Stupid.

"Eggonomics" is rattling Americans. Eggs are now so valuable that they have been targeted by criminal gangs. Last month, 100,000 eggs worth $40,000 were stolen from a trailer in Pennsylvania. At current prices, that's roughly the equivalent to an American football's weight in gold.

This paragraph feels like an excerpt from a satirical dystopian fiction essay written by a middle schooler.
