This is *particularly* true in the Ivy League, where many under certain income levels get 100% full rides. I'm all for a helping hand, generously so, but I also think all students and parents should have at least some skin in the game.

The egg market has many, many participants, so one assumes that normal competitive pricing hasn't changed. But when in doubt, blame corporate greed. , a trained economist, knows this, but being a progressive hack comes first.

Egg prices are up 60%. That’s absurd. People are paying up upwards of $6 and $7 for a dozen eggs. Why? Corporate greed. Cal-Maine, the largest egg producer in the US, is raking record profits — $198 million in its latest quarter. That’s a 65% increase from a year ago.

Prediction: the left will find a reason to oppose nuclear fusion. Good news is not good news for the revolution.
