Eggs store pretty poorly in the fridge because liquids transpire through the shell. Within a month your egg will be 20% air.
This is disturbing and not what I found with eggs at all - Are eggs somehow different in the US compared to the rest of the world?

Fake/Vegetarian eggs are priced the same here, so I made the switch and am only using fake eggs now for most of my cooking.

This is also a great defense against something like bird flu. When you centralize operations a disease can spread through a population like wildfire. When it's a number of smaller, separate operations the impact is lessened.
Really raises the question - should vital infrastructure, like food production, be built in an attempt to maximize profit or resiliency? Have things swung too far in one direction?

Both methods work, but the washing process removes a protective layer from the eggs, causing them to require refrigeration and generally last not as long

Yep. In the U.S. the eggs are all machine washed which removes a natural protective outer coating (as well as dirt). This means that they don't store as well or as long, and really should be refrigerated. It _might_ reduce salmonella.
What's going on with eggs in the US? The whole world had high inflation after Covid, so that's not US-specific, but eggs tripling in price? That is extreme. I don't think my (Dutch, free-range organic) eggs went up more than 25%.
In just the last 3 months over 30 million chickens were killed, which is about 10% of the total US egg laying chicken population. Overall the US has lost so far something like 40% of its egg laying chickens.
