In short:

The egg industry is warning supply shortages could last until at least 2028.

Analysts and farmers say increased consumer demand and ongoing avian influenza outbreaks are to blame.

What's next?

The price of eggs is expected to continue to rise.

Note that this is a few days old; I forgot to submit it earlier. Here's a couple of related articles that are a few days more recent:

Remember these are those things we would throw at houses and cars because they were cheap.

This really sucks since eggs are one of my safe foods and tofu has also raised in price about 15% in the last month it seems.

It's gonna be a real challenge to make the 9 eggs left in my carton last to 2028...

Time to make some century eggs and ration them :P

Lol they're never getting cheaper. We've departed from regulated capitalism. We're now in a pseudo-fudal model. You think for an instant the bourgeoisie have any interest in providing food? Only profit and power.

I didn't EXPECT it would be that long, but I'm damn sure not surprised
