    Is it because of tariffs?

    Yankees are pretty much getting what’s coming to them after that but idk how it’s effecting other countries.

    We all miss Yugoslavia here, it’s slowly getting worse even here but it’s alright for now.

      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
