Russia's egg crisis is spiraling out of control
An attempt was made on the life of the head of a Russian poultry farm this week as egg prices continue to soar.

"Before, I used to buy eggs for 70 rubles ($0.78) a dozen. Now they cost between 130 and 140 rubles ($1.45 to $1.56)—twice as much," Ilia Zaroubine, a 21-year-old student, said.
I realize that it's probably a greater percentage of total wages, but by US standards, that's still dirt cheap.
Most American citizens, despite some struggles we face, still make twice as much or more than the average Russian.
And they all think they deserve more before others who have less.
Righto mate.
Not at all to do with different cost of living.
It has to do with conflating needs with wants.
They believe those who have more deserve more before those who have less.
