"$6.23 for a dozen eggs "

Twelve whole eggs?

Maybe this Christmas it's only two eggs.

Unregulated capitalism is parasitic.

Factory farming is animal abuse, regulation abuse and insultingly fed taxpayer subsidies and still able to abuse markets.

Anything not represented as a stock is considered irrelevant competition.

Parasitism is good, when you're the parasite.

What's considered classy if you're rich, but trashy if you're poor?

Getting money from the government.
