    If the prices didn’t go up because of a shortage, because there was never a shortage, why did prices go back down again?

    The law of supply and demand explains the price of eggs. If you’re saying it’s wrong then what’s your better egg-splanation?

      The prices went back down right after the federal government announced a price fixing investigation and a bunch of news coverage came out about how their claims were bogus.

          It’s correlational, not causal. There isn’t going to be a definitive source on this

                No, what I care about (in this context) is other people making arguments that they can’t substantiate. I’m not spending my time trying to substantiate someone else’s arguments, I spend enough time doing that for my own.

                I have no need to prove that I’m right. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
