First, I'm not trying to annoy you, just stimulating a good conversation. I'll answer all questions point by point, paraphrased. At the end, I will provide a summary of my thinking process.
Part 1
>Why would I want to be reminded that the imaginary stories in my head do not match with my life reality at this time?
From the link that you provided:
*US Consumer Price Index: Eggs is at a current level of 261.10, up from 255.49 last month and down from 336.06 one year ago. This is a change of 2.20% from last month and -22.30% from one year ago.

*Eggs are cheaper now than 1 year ago.

If you had adult chickens that laid eggs, we would be talking about the price of cornmeal to feed the chickens, and the eggs would be a welcomed byproduct.

Part 2
I live in Wisconsin, 80 miles north of Chicago, my food prices have doubled since the pandemic some things cost even more, I do understand what you said. I shop at Aldi first and Walmart only for things that Aldi doesn't carry, anything that I can't buy locally I get from Amazon. I was forced to retire in 2017, health reasons. I'm not rich, but I have a few thousand put away for unexpected changes caused by the rich assholes you complained about. I live in a low income senior apartment, 1 mile from the food stores above. My income from social security for 2024.
This (raise) is up $33.80 per month from last year:
$1112.70 per month
-203.70 medicare
$909.00 net
