  1. python and matplotlib code is here [https://gist.github.com/cavedave/81046a6c94b7ce899ee22af9f36faa86](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2Fcavedave%2F81046a6c94b7ce899ee22af9f36faa86)
    Data From [https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111) this is Aprils data so it will be a bit out of date from a price you saw recently. And different locations have different prices this is an average one.

    Posted previously but a number of people said I was terrible* if I did not post it again when this months data came out

    *Not a communist

  2. I’m sorry. This is incorrect. I was told that egg prices are down. Gas is cheap and there is no inflation. /s

  3. You should use percentage difference compared to the previous interval. This chart is visually misleading. Even though the price is nominally at its highest now, the sudden increase in price itself is nothing that hasn’t happened before.

  4. Ever since March they’ve been down though so not really good data or anything

  5. Fake news. I don’t usually check the egg prices in detail but I know for a fact that our dropped 92%. I’m very sure about my source. It’s definitely correct. What do you say? I should check the egg prices myself next time I’m in the store? No, I don’t have time for that. Checking egg prices is woke communism. Anyway, things are going pretty well for everybody right now. We’re finally taking America back. Also, after Ukraine attacked Russia, Russia should simply annex Ukraine. And look what a great deal we struck with China on tariffs. Biden left is with a disastrous plan. If Biden’s 145% in tariffs plan had gone through, he and Obama would have been responsible for America’s downfall. But we saved America because of our mastermind negotiator.

  6. At this rate, eggs might start coming with a side of stock options.

  7. $4/dozen is still a good value for what you’re getting. That’s $.33 per egg! Eggs are great.

  8. Until we 100% address H5N1 and pour massive resources into the pandemic threat it is we are going to be on this roller coaster cycle with egg prices. Layers can be hatched and after a few months prices can somewhat recover but the cycle of massive infection killing flocks is just going to repeat over and over as we allow unchecked spread in cattle and poultry.

    I’m much more worried about the pandemic risk of H5N1 than its impact on egg prices.

  9. Glorious leader Trump has brought down the egg prices! Thank goodness sending the brown people to concentration camps and exterminating the trans people is working.

    Edit: I see the Trump worshipers don’t like me insulting their god. Trump succesfully undid the spike in egg prices that happened after he was elected. But saying he lowered egg prices is like saying the CCP made progress in poverty alleviation when they are the cause of the poverty in the first place.

  10. Misleading.

    1. Egg prices are down significantly

    2. The issue wasn’t bird flu, but the policy response to bird flu which was to slaughter millions of birds rather than the small percent that were sick.

  11. see if you can point to where they slaughter millions of chickens.

  12. “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” sounds different now.

  13. Why begin only in 1980? I am very curious about prices from 1780….

  14. He has made america a pariah on the world stage. Other countries don’t want to do business with us. The tariffs, especially the uncertainty are torpedoing us into a recession. Unemployment of on the rise, inflation is on the rise, and basically every economic metric is going the wrong way.

    I’d be interested to see how anyone thinks he is helping the economy.

    Culturally, he is destroying American values. People might not like this, but LGBT people are part of American culture, land of the free and all that. His campaign to exterminate trans people and end “dei and wokeness” have turned America more like Russia than anything resembling a free a country.

  15. Has your head been stuck in sand since January?

    I t really shows your bias that you are saying I hav “trump derangement syndrome “ when I tell you the objective metrics say he is tanking the economy, and his anti trans stuff has personally made me feel unsafe in this country. He is literally copying hitlers playbook on dealing with trans people.

  16. Multiple countries have condemned the USA. Funny how you assume anti trump people are deranged instead of refuting the negative economic data. Plus his crusade on convincing the general public that transgender people are a detriment to society is working.

  17. Egg prices are actually down near me. Paid like $3 for a dozen. Still crazy expensive compared to before but way lower than the $5 I paid a few weeks ago.

  18. Egg prices are decreasing so that’s okay . It just decreasing slowly compared to its peak.

  19. Wait?!!! You mean to tell me that when there is a bird flu outbreak and millions of chickens have to be culled that the price of eggs goes up and it’s not directly controlled by a button on the desk of the sitting president? LIES!!!!

  20. I know that for many prices are personal, but I truly wish that in the discussion about egg prices and bird flu outbreaks, the lives and wellbeing of these countless poor animals would also be remembered and taken into account more ❤️
