I did not realize the egg crisis was found to be price fixing operation.

As I recall during the whole thing the news was non-stop about how it was related to broad-based inflation, chicken culling for avian flu, etc. Seems like all that was a lie, or at least merely a half-truth.

The US economy is jampacked with collusion price fixing. Most markets are controlled by monopolies or oligopolies.
