The answer I was looking first: Just import more eggs. Seemed obvious to me. If only eggs were the only problem. Everything has gotten more expensive since the Covid.
I get the feeling we were protecting egg farmers from imports. No more. Wonder which country will supply the eggs? (Mexico)
The part I don’t like: we will pay relief to US egg farmers, sounds socialist. Let the market rule without government interference.
Interesting side note for those that stay at home and don’t travel much. Eggs and milk are not refrigerated in other countries. Threw me for a loop in Mexico and Europe, couldn’t find the milk. Turns out they put milk in carton containers and keep it in the un refrigerated aisle. Turns out we are the only ones paranoid about salmonella. Btw, I consumed the milk and didn’t die.
No washing: Eggs are not extensively washed, preserving the protective cuticle.
Vaccination: Chickens are often vaccinated against salmonella.
Room temperature storage: Eggs are typically stored at room temperature in supermarkets.
“The nation will look to import between 70 million and 100 million eggs during the next month or two, the US Department of Agriculture said Wednesday as it announced a five-part plan to address bird flu. The Trump administration’s strategy also involves helping farmers protect birds from catching the virus and quickly rebuilding populations after chickens are killed or culled.

there is no egg shortage, every store has them and they get deliveries every day
for some reason, chickens never stop laying eggs
CA eggs prices are higher than other states because the eggs must be from cage free chickens which are more expensive to maintain
people just don't like the price of eggs, so they flock [ha!] to the lowest cost provider
CA COSTCOs get eggs everyday and they sellout because their eggs are 31 cents each if you buy 24 and people are buying three 24 packs at a time, when they used to buy one. 72 eggs is a lot of eggs
all CA grocery stores all have a section of 45-46 cent eggs if you buy a dozen, these also sell out early
people don't want to pay 80 cents to a dollar for extra large brown organic cage free eggs, so they sit
you could buy five dozen or more $1 eggs no problem and the store would be happy if you took them off their hands
eggs last a long time, so buy six dozen low price eggs from Costco and be happy with everything but the line you stand in
or pay 80 cents to a dollar for eggs that are in over supply and be happy with everything but the price
executive summary, this is a [media] manufactured crises just like covid TP
it shall soon pass away and probably well before you eat your 72 eggs
