As of this morning, a dozen A-grade eggs at my local supermarket were $5.74 for a dozen. The refrigerated case was " stocked," yet the kid that was fluffing the display said the entire egg stock would be empty by 3pm, and each daily delivery was becoming noticeably smaller. I'm getting a uncomfortable feeling we've been here before, only this time it's going to test us as a nation and society to keep even usually plentiful items stoked on the shelves, and naked price-gouging to become rampant. For the record, I dtopped eggs from my diet some diet years ago under advice from my doctor, but how long before something else I do still enjoy consuming becomes uncomfortably scarce regardless of price?
As it seems his name is on the tips of everyone' tongue these days, how many will experience the revelation that the "T" is silent?
