Your strange breakfast has increased in price by 150%. If this were happening across meals, that would mean that a family who formerly spent $400 a month on groceries is now spending $1000 a month on groceries. edit: assuming a total 20% tax rate and a $15 minimum wage, that $600 represents 50 additional hours of work a month.
It's a very normal breakfast for athletes. But your example isn't our current reality so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. To borrow a saying from the investment world - It's easy to double a small number. I'm not defending the price hike. I'm just pointing out that it's a silly thing to get hung up on and most are not considering that eggs have been, and still are, a caloric and protein dense staple of…
I responded by pointing out that if (ideal, fantasy) minimum-wage families ate like you, they would have to work 50 more hours a month in order to deal with the price increase. My implication is that 50 hours of work a month is significant. Salary calculations are usually made with an assumption of 2000 hours a year, and that increase in egg prices of families who had your diet would represent 600 of those hours.
I'm disagreeing that the doubling or tripling of the prices of basic foodstuffs such as eggs, flour, milk etc. is a silly thing to get hung up on. Your argument seems to be that eggs are so good, they'd be a bargain at any price?
