It’s a chicken and egg problem here. You’re saying that prices never fall because people don’t lower demand, but I would instead argue that Americans don’t seem to understand that reduced demand lowers prices simply because we have literally never once seen that actually happen in practice due to corporate greed.
Basic economics and understanding that reducing demand reduces prices is… not US citizens strong suit.
Instead we have seniors driving in circles around town wasting gas looking for cheap eggs. It’s fucking insanity.
I never ate many eggs to begin with, so the whole god damned thing blows my fucking mind. It was not hard to be like "welp, not buying those anymore.*
