If I see the egg price discussion, I always wonder how many eggs Americans eat per day. Would it really be an issue, if the egg price rose to a dollar?
The auto insurance is the one that pisses me off. Few years ago we were paying $100/mo for full coverage on 2 cars. Now it’s $180 for the same 2 people, same coverage, and the same 2 cars. Wife is 40, I’m 49, never had an accident, and neither of us has had a ticket in over 20 years. I got quotes from a couple of other insurers and they were even higher.
I was at a funeral recently talking to a relative with 4 people and 4 cars, two full coverage and 2 liability. They have an accident and a few tickets and pay over $1000/mo. I’ll retype that in case people think it was a typo. They pay over $1000/mo. Shit is out of hand.
Egg price in Egypt rose by 500% in a matter of 4 years.
years ago i was annoyed at the “I did that” stickers. now at least those are gone….but at what cost?
makes me happy i don’t own a car. san diego has only ok non-car infrastructure but I’ve chosen a neighborhood where I can mostly walk/bike/bus (north park) and it’s so freeing.
These prices will soon start to roll back under the new administration, mark my words. Soon you’ll be able to pick up a week’s groceries for a family of four for less than $100. Well, that’s what I voted for anyways….

Eggs = Bird flu… But what about car insurance?
