Llargest egg producer posted record profits last year. JFL

https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/13/busin...ods/index.html
A spike in egg prices has squeezed customers. But even with rising costs of its own, the leading US egg supplier has found that it can make even more money out of every egg.

Cal-Maine’s profit increased 65% to $198 million during the three months ended Nov. 26 from a year ago.
Ready for $20 eggs this year boyos?

Eggs are still $3.50 for a dozen at my local Whole Foods in Manhattan

No idea what’s going on in the rest of the country

By me the 60 pack is $29 at walmart

Went about 10 miles away and they are $19.79 at walmart there. Something if fishy.

I quit eggs and wont egg any until they get back below $3. I could have bought the cheaper ones at the other store but its the principal of the thing.

When egg producers are crying and having to sell off their chickens, then i will consider buying eggs again.

Its a plot to remove a cheap protein source and replace it with cereal and other terrible unhealthy foods.

Dont fall for it. Replace them with other proteins.

So they managed to keep their entire supply of chickens flu free during one of the worst avian flu outbreaks we’ve seen and you don’t think that’s why?

Sick of dishonest news with misleading clickbait titles. Then the story reads different.

The cost of energy went up. Supplies chains are moved by energy. It's the linchpin of the entire operation and impacts every level from production, warehousing, distribution and etc.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

So let me get this right. You think energy costs caused their profits to go up 65%? LOL. Do you know what profits are? I'm guessing not so ill break it down for you. Profits are what's after your expenses.

brb 'bird flu' responsible for the spike in egg prices

These guys say no bird flu for them

still charge the same prices as those who were effected by bird flu ...


=


energy costs???

So MAGICALLY their energy costs increased the same amount as the cost of selling eggs for others because of bird flu (which they didnt get), which allowed them to make RECORD PROFITS??? Wut? lol.

If you think its unethical of them don't buy their eggs. I would have done the same thing. They aren't running a charity. If they produced vital medications and did something similar my opinion might be different.

It NEVER ceases to amaze me how quickly they programmed idiots like you to shill for big business. Imagine, being poor AF by comparison, getting reamed in the ass by these people, and then licking them clean after.

This big ol' conspiracy to make as much money as possible is called......capitalism! What a shocker.

We were all raised to be capitalists. It amuses me when some people get pissy when others are really, really good at it.

Obviously this company has very successful sanitation protocols and they were rewarded for it. You can say they got lucky, but operations this large make their own luck through due diligence.

I'm guessing bringing in many illegal aliens to collect the eggs helps with making higher profits also.

Why are you drumming this up as us being retards who think this is a conspiracy?

We know its capitalist greed. Thats the whole point. For us to laugh at it. You aren't enlightening anyone by pointing out that they are charging more because they can.

Ask yourself how evil do you have to be, to knowingly decide to raise your prices for a basic food item, were not talking Cheetos here, during historic inflation when people are already struggling and our country is going down the drain? Now ask yourself how evil do you have to be to support that behavior.

Now ask yourself, as someone whos broke AF, why are you cheering that on? Are you under some delusion you too can make it like them? So you want to be just as evil, to sacrifice people at the alter of money?

Solution: raise hens (srs). Most places allow a backyard coop. Live chickens are basically the same price as cooked rotisserie chickens, which is pretty sad when you think about it. Plus, they're super interesting animals and will lay usually an egg a day. I haven't purchased eggs in years and I know what I feed my bitches so it's about as natural and free range as you can get.

I'm about to go outside and feed my hens fresh orange slices (again srs)

That wasn't directed at you. That was directed at the guy handing out insults. The person I directly said that to.

This is the one reason I think prices may not remain high. A lot of people will be buying chickens. Ive considered it many times. And usually people who do make enough eggs to sell to others. Or just give away.

Imagine going back to 1960s or before and saying this to a CEO of a major company back then. Then imagine him looking at you with disgust for being anti-american.

Business exists to make profit. Not year over year end record profits while taking advantage of every other countryman. These people have no regard for their fellows, including you. But here you are sucking their slop theyve fed you to make you not only not complain about them fukking you, but enjoying it. You are WORSE than them.

No the article is implying the price increases are not justified in the market as a whole because sellers are taking advantage.

One company posted record profits from exceptional circumstances

Which is the story

But the implication is the price raises are unjustified and all company’s are taking advantage of you in this market. That’s the clickbait and it’s false.

But it gets more views than, one lucky company takes advantage of the market and has a great year. If you want to discuss the ethics of that than site go ahead, but look where all the talking sheep take the article without even reading it. It’s like watching drunk people talk.

Why are you all such manipulated bags of meat.

I'm not broke. And it's not evil. It's business. As another miscer pointed out, raise your own hens.

It sounds like you want someone to provide you with a product at the price you want to pay for it. That's not how it works.
