That’s $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.
Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

And it has worked reasonably well, on net, for those centuries. As Winston Churchill popularized:
The same can be said for capitalism. Politicians think the answer lies in regulation, but that leads to cronyism, which is to blame for most of the crap we deal with.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying “deregulate all the things,” I’m saying we need to be arresting and jailing execs instead of fining companies (and increasing fines), busting up monopolies, etc. If that means we need to remove some regulations and whatnot, fine, but dramatically increase the penalties for breaking the law. Government needs to be as separate as possible from the market to be effective, just like a coach can’t be a good referee when their team is on the field.
Yes, again, your pro-capitalist views are noted. And they explain a lot.

If you have a suggestion for a system that is proven to work better and not devolve into authoritarianism (or at least not as quickly), I’m all ears.
I think we’re better off fixing the system we have, which to me means:
Throwing everything out and trying something new more often results in authoritarianism and/or poverty than freedom and prosperity.
Why does it have to have been proven to work better in order to try it? What a regressive way of looking at the world.
Because changing a whole economic/government system has proven to have a very high chance of failure, resulting in people being even worse off. For every success story, there are dozens of failures.
So unless you have a gradualist/reformist approach that either has been proven or is easy to back out of, I’m not interested.
