“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.

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.
