They're part of the consumer price index, a measure of inflation which in turn impacts the fed interest rate. A high rate means a high cost of borrowing which is bad for business (especially small business / start ups).
For most people it just contributes to the cost of living crisis but it has greater implications on the economy as a whole.
Trump has promised a reduction in interest rates this year while nearly all of his policies are designed to worsen inflation lol.

Actually that's really cool. Meat and egg prices have gotten so high that I'm basically an accidental vegetarian, maybe it's just time to cut those things out of my diet. I've heard soft tofu is a good egg replacement for breakfast, how is that done?
If you're looking for a scramble, things like tofu scrambles can be pretty good! Usually that's with firm tofu rather than soft tofu, but you absolutely can use soft tofu as well. It can also be seasoned a million different ways. Here's one example recipe (with firm tofu)
https://www.noracooks.com/tofu-scramble/Soft tofu will have a different texture than firm so you can try recipes for both and see what you think
Soft/silken tofu can also be used as a binder too and replace dairy / eggs in various recipes. Like I've made a chocolate mousse with it before and it didn't affect the taste. Had some friends and family try it and they both didn't know there was tofu in it and also were surprised to learn it was vegan
https://aseasyasapplepie.com/silken-tofu-chocolate-mousse/There's a also some vegan cooking & baking communities here on lemmy if you want other inspirations. Here's one that's pretty active [email protected] and here's another that's a little less active but has recipes for it all [email protected]

It's used as a barometer to gauge the overall prices of groceries. It differs from country to country. Back in my home country, a type of small, cheap fish was used as the measurement. Meaning, when even that cheap little fish is getting expensive, you know it's really bad.
When your barometer breaks, you are supposed to get another one. Otherwise you get a "36 Roentgen" moment.

In a lot of the US eggs were under a dollar pretty recently. I've been paying $5-$7 the last couple of months. But I also get a lot of free eggs. But it's just bird flu decimating the supply so they raise prices to reduce demand and make up for lack of sales volume.

$1 per egg in Miami. Regular ass eggs, nothing fancy.

Related note: There are some good vegan eggs out there to give a try!
If you want something that cooks and bakes like eggs there's stuff you can by like Just Egg
For baking there's a million things you can use that are pretty cheap. For instance, Aquafaba is the leftover water from cooking chickpeas or the water in the can if you buy it canned. Acts like egg whites and can be used as a binder for baking
I hate most plant based vegan replacements but the Just Eggs are actually pretty good.

Five years ago it was toilet paper.

Also testing for diseases. They could catch the bird flu and you might not know it right away and you end up catching it from them. I'll let the farms deal with testing.

Nice try, Purdue.

What are your thoughts on suburban chicken ownership? I'm wholly uninterested, I need another creature to keep alive like I need another hole in the head, but my wife and daughter are really into the idea.
