I've been directly responsible for the slaughter and associated torture of about zero sentient beings for more than a decade now. In all likelihood, you've been directly responsible for the death and torture of thousands of sentient beings during that same spam. I actually believe that life has value, all life. That it is not something to be taken on a whim or because I'm getting a little hangry. I live my life accordingly.
People like you don't actually value life. You pretend to when it's convenient to try bludgeon someone with. Now you'll say something about how it is only animals that you don't think deserve humane treatment. People are special, you'll plead. However, I'm willing to bet that they're are dozens, if not hundreds, of examples of you referring to people as animals, in one form of another, in your posts on this site alone. So it's really just one small step for someone like you to think that extinguishing a human life is as trivial as taking the life of an animal is to you.
Maybe some day you will actually start being pro life instead of just claiming to be.

Farms don't have to comply with the Colorado law until 2025, so I don't think that's the reason...
On the other hand...
More than one quarter of all egg-laying hens have been euthanized in the past year due to avian flu, including 85% of Colorado's egg-laying population. That might be having a bigger impact on prices than a law that isn't enforced for another two years.
They have to comply with new regulations that started this year. It starts with cage size minimums and moves to cage free by 2025. The interviews I saw with local egg producers said they had to increase prices to prepare their farms for the mandate of 100% cage free by 2025. The cage free idea doesn’t just magically happen at no cost to the farmer.
Yep.
And who is the cost passed to?
The consumer.
It’s an asinine overreach. So perfectly “progressive”.
It's a small cost and a small step towards ridding the world of the inhumane use of battery cages. Maybe if you can't afford a few extra cents for food that isn't tortured for the entirety of it's miserable life, you shouldn't eat that food.
LOL…..you stupid leftist morons and your “if you can’t afford it” idiocy. I’m not the one who can’t afford it. It’s the poor you always seem so concerned about.
Don't worry. The "progressives" in Colorado will take your money and feed the poor with it.

No. Profit has exactly zero to do with inflation. Nothing.

COVID Stimulus Spending Played 'Sizable Role' in Inflation
Fiscal stimulus during the pandemic contributed to an increase in inflation of about 2.6 percentage points.
Inflation Cools to 7.1 Percent, but Still Has a Long Way To Fall
Food prices were up 0.5 percent during November, even as energy prices fell by about 1.6 percent.
Cars, Energy, Housing, and most measures of inflation in the US have been coming down. There was a huge avian flu that fooled many people into thinking the resulting price increases in eggs is an indicator of underlying inflation in the US economy. The US' inflation has been tame compared to other economies. Inflation in the US is probably going to fall about as quickly as it rose, but who knows with all the craziness in Ukraine/Russia and China making predictions difficult. Core is headed in the right direction though, which is great to see.
The hottest job market in my lifetime is inflationary without a doubt and the Fed's big fear. The Fed is going to keep raising rates even with all the signs of core inflation dropping, they missed the rise of inflation, they are not going to undershoot as they continue to raise rates trying to engineer a recession to cool the job market. We will probably have a recession this year, but we don't have many historical examples of the US entering a recession with unemployment at these record low levels so it will be interesting.
