That's $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

Yes, again, your pro-capitalist views are noted. And they explain a lot.

If you have a suggestion for a system that is proven to work better and not devolve into authoritarianism (or at least not as quickly), I'm all ears.

I think we're better off fixing the system we have, which to me means:

  • more worker unions
  • harsher penalties for law-breaking corporations
  • trust busting
  • less money in politics (and less interference in the market)

Throwing everything out and trying something new more often results in authoritarianism and/or poverty than freedom and prosperity.

Why does it have to have been proven to work better in order to try it? What a regressive way of looking at the world.

Because changing a whole economic/government system has proven to have a very high chance of failure, resulting in people being even worse off. For every success story, there are dozens of failures.

So unless you have a gradualist/reformist approach that either has been proven or is easy to back out of, I'm not interested.
