‘Here’s Why So Many Grocery Store Staples Are So Expensive Right Now’

“Cal-Maine Foods, which controls 20% of the retail #egg #market, reported quarterly sales up 110% and gross #profits up more than 600% over the same quarter in the prior fiscal year, according to a December filing with the SEC. The company pointed to decreased egg supply nationwide due to #AvianFlu as the reason for higher prices and record sales, though Cal-Maine has had no positive avian flu tests on any of its farms, according to a quarterly report. …

“‘Avian flu is not manufactured—it’s real,’” says #JoeMaxwell, the co-founder of #FarmAction. ‘But the dominant firms are using that supply chain disruption to gouge the consumers. The numbers … clearly indicate that the production loss due to avian flu was minor compared to the prices being charged.’”

Jesus on the Cross Instead of it being a story of salvation and redemption, it can be used to discuss the importance of challenging oppressive systems of power and working towards greater social justice and economic equity. It can also be used to illustrate how suffering and oppression can be used to bring light to dark situations, and how collective action and solidarity can be powerful tools for social change. #ModernBible #JesusOnTheCross #SocialJustice #EconomicEquity #CollectiveAction
