Hi John,

Unless you've been living in a chicken coop, you've probably noticed that the price of eggs has gotten really high. It's not just political propaganda – egg prices have increased almost 20% over the past year.  

So, why exactly are eggs so expensive? Turns out it's a lot less about individual politicians than it is about corporate greed and systemic corruption. Just a few companies dominate the market, manipulate supply, and lobby to crush competitors, all while consumers pay the price. Let's break it down. 👇

First, the facts. Just a handful of companies – we'll call them Big Egg – dominate the market and have been found guilty of conspiring to limit egg supplies and inflate prices. Not only that, some Big Egg companies have committed outright bribery – an Iowa egg factory admitted to distributing poisonous eggs and bribing USDA officials to cover it up. 

And there's plenty of legal corruption happening too. Take lobbying, for example. Big Egg spends millions lobbying for policies that crush small farmers and competition. And decades ago, the industry created "checkoff programs," which were originally intended to promote farmers but have now been weaponized by big corporations to drive consolidation, making it harder for small producers to compete. 

When industries manipulate supply and lobby to maintain monopolies, corruption is nested into the system, and consumers pay the price. 

Luckily, we've hatched a plan to stop corruption and give power back to us, the egg-cellent voters.🥚 But we need your help. Let's scramble the power of big money in politics and stop corruption from driving up the prices of everyday goods. Clucking about greed isn't enough – we need to take action. (Yep, we've got egg puns for days. And yes, they will continue until corruption ends!)
