Summary

Egg prices are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, according to the USDA, following an already steep increase due to a severe bird flu outbreak that reduced egg-laying hen populations.

The current average price per dozen is nearly $5, with some areas seeing prices as high as $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny’s have added surcharges.

Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.

Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.

    So why did he act like it did? And all he has done is make the problem worse.

    You know how many people still think the price of eggs are because of government over regulation?

    That is why you gotta keep saying it. To try and finally get it through to those idiots that they are being lied to every single day.
