    In México, we are having price surges as well. People prefer to smuggle eggs instead selling them locally because the price is higher in the other side. It sucks when capitalist have the means of production.

    I envy people living in China or in other socialist countries.

        Nah, eggs prices are rising in Mexico due to the shortage of eggs in the USA which mostly caused by several reasons: Bird flu, price speculation and some others(maybe someone more knowledgeable could correct me on this).

        Going back to Mexico, Mexican capitalist are favoring the US market because they can profit way more and that is pushing the price upward. Tariffs for the Mexica food industry are in a 90 day pause except for tomatoes.

            No, I remember hearing about it since 2022 but you know how skillful are capitalist on underestimating issues.

            There is more information about prices and timelines here https://www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/us-egg-prices-see-largest-jump-1980-bird-flu-outbreaks-continue
