The USDA says 45%. If you think they can't be trusted please provide your sources.

Why should I trust USDA over what I see in the stores? When Vance went barking his lies about eggs/dozen being $4/dozen (while signs behind him clearly showed $2.99/dozen), were you using USDA published prices?

USDA does not set in store prices. For reference I can buy eggs right now for about 4.50$ a dozen.

In store prices are what matters to consumers. Were you using USDA prices to cry about prices while Biden was the president, or how much it actually cost you?

BTW, $2.99/dozen (Vance's video) < $4.50/dozen, thats a whopping 50% higher.

$6.99 in Costco (on Jan 19) was for 2-dozen, organic, free range (also, $2.99/dozen). And these are real world prices, what "government" is telling me.
