I’m not a fan of this administration and consider myself pretty far left. Having said that, I watch the egg prices from time-to-time because Trump loves to use this line about fixing the egg prices in one week. At the moment, seems like they are down? Could be the USDA is lying; could be the meme refers to CA prices, which are statistical outliers at the moment.
I’d say the chart feels accurate for what I’ve experienced for prices. Energy has spiked so badly around us.
I'm not sure I would trust the chart on that page. Not only does it conflict with the numbers lower down on the page, but it says the average price for a dozen eggs is like $3. Looking around online, the cheapest I could find for a dozen eggs (across multiple states) was over $3.
Also, ancedotally, by me eggs have been going back up again from about $5.50 to over $7.
That’s a good observation. How can the highest and lowest prices be between $6 - $11, but the average is $3?
Because that's not the average price, that's the average cheapest price
