    Denny’s said it would not share which specific regions or locations would see surcharges due to the situation being “fluid.”

    Translation:

    We’ll charge as much as people will pay because that’s literally the definition of capitalism.

    There is going to be an increase in costs, but from the second the chicken who shits out your egg is born to the second your empty plate is picked up off your table…

    Every single person in the process will charge as much as they can.

    And that’s how a $0.02/egg increase due to Bird Flu leads to $0.50/egg charge added on top of normal pricing. Every single person will raise prices to what the highest the next link in the supply chain will pay.

    It’s literally capitalism working as intended, which is why capitalism is the problem and can’t work unless it’s heavily regulated. If a capitalist country were to strip away regulations, capitalism always ends in an oligarchy…
