Eggs were in the news two weeks ago

Why were eggs coincidently in the news for being $10 dozen? Just before an election a supermarket named Stop and Shop made national headlines that inflation is so bad eggs are $10 per dozen.

Never mind that all their other eggs were much lower in price.

Why run that flag up that pole to get that notoriety?

Stop and Shop is unionized. There is a lot of animosity towards their union by the management.

My innocent mid 80s parents were worried. Why not Stop and Shop used them royally.

Remember the antics of Tricky Dick?

I found this online, but just verified the accuracy. While prices have fluctuated some in the volatile lumbe,r food, and energy areas (both going up and down). Others were different from what I found, but they may have used a different source than my practice of using the first number from a source that I recognized. They are all close enough to use this as a post 2024 election benchmark.
