    Because egg producers are using the hype of bird flu to increase profit margins at the expense of their customers.

    Grocery stores are following suit by spreading signs about bird flu and increasing their prices as well.

        Yeah it’s not just made up by big business, it’s the same as when COVID hit.

        "Oh, our product is going to be 20% more expensive due to supply chain disruptions… Might as well raise the price by 50% and pocket the rest while blaming it all on the supply chain.

        Customers will be mad it’s going up by 20% so they won’t be any more mad if it goes up by 50% instead."
