    Coffee has become more expensive all around the world though. Because harvests have failed.

      Yes, and egg prices were rising rapidly due to disease, not some economic mechanism, yet he still promised to that if he were in office it wouldn’t have happened. So if he is going to promise on things outside of the control of the government, we should hold him to it.

        Well he also stopped monitoring for bird flu.

        Eggs here in Finland are still cheap.

        Also, coffee has remained relatively stable here too.

          The big reason for the diseases is how the birds are housed. Most places have a maximum per building that is just a few thousand. The US doesn’t, and often has 10s, if not hundreds, of thousands of birds in one building, which causes disease to spread insanely fast, and creates conditions that breed the diseases in the first place.
