With eggs during the pandemic, wasn't this just due to a drop in supply due to a reduced workforce. Then was the impact of reduced capacity. The reason why there's been spikes in egg prices over the past couple of years in the US is due to bird flu, with millions of chickens being culled.
I think the semi conductor shortage during the pandemic is good indicator of what's to come with the current tariff situation

one thing that I found telling about the Covid round of forced deglobalisation is that the prices of certain goods with both long international supply chains (cocaine) and largely domestic production (weed) by and large stayed the same. Eggs, it appears, somewhat less so.
One might suspect that food inflation might be rather less pervious to international crises than profiteers would have us believe.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
