      Thanks for the link. The basics of that article are eggs are nutritious, and people don’t like when prices increase.

      This article implies eggs are a litmus test for instability in every day life, but I’d argue the US should already at red alert and eggs are the last of their issues.

      This paragraph feels like an excerpt from a satirical dystopian fiction essay written by a middle schooler.
