Going back to your prior comment:

>It's amusing to point out eggs as some kind of holy grail of how price moves naturally, when the two largest egg producers (Cal-Maine Foods and Rose Acre Farms) were just fined in federal court for price fixing.

I mean, prices did move naturally. The egg producers reduced supply and price went up "naturally". In the case of covid "greedflation", you don't really need an explanation to explain the reduced supply and/or increased demand: covid and stimulus checks explain the situation pretty well.
