but real inflation, like, say the price of eggs being $1.29 last week and is now $2.19) is a penalty for hoarding cash.

Rising cost of eggs is being attributed to a new law in California which prohibits egg laying hens from being housed in pens they cannot move in.

The dummies in California are now regulating the size of the pens for each egg laying hen and that's having an impact on egg prices.
