The Great Egg Shortage

I was in school again today, but just for one day. I had Primary 2, but not the same class as last week.
The day went quite fast.

My car is making an odd noise. Sounds like it might be a wheel bearing. It's booked in for Wednesday morning. Hope it is nothing expensive.
John is in a play at the Citizen's Theatre soon. We'll go and see that.

Nothing much of import today. I was listening to a food programme on the radio. It was recounting the effect of the banning of caged hens on British food manufacturers and shoppers.
It would appear that prices have risen sharply, and that manufacturers who use eggs are struggling to absorb the extra costs as they feel limited in their ability to pass on the additional costs to customers.
The supermarkets are not keen to be seen to be raising prices, and can put pressure on producers not to make price increases.

There has also been a reduction in the supply of cheap foreign eggs, and even the egg producers are unable to buy additional supplies to meet their own customer demands.
Since eggs are an ingredient in much bakery produce, and in ice cream production, we can expect to see some changes in the next few months.

Somebody needs to look at the economic system. Money....designed to make exchanging goods easier instead of barter...has become itself a commodity and subject to speculation.
Every country is in economic turmoil. Each country is trying to reduce imports and increase exports. Anyone see a problem there?
Shops cannot sell todays' production. We are buying today with money we won't have till later. But what about tomorrow's production?
When we save money, we take it out of circulation. It then cannot carry out its purpose...the buying and selling of goods.
When will people realise that as long as banks are allowed to create money...out of nothing....and as a debt....we will stay in this mess. It should be the Country which produces its own money, debt free money, based on its production and resources.
Investigate Social Credit, Christian Money and so on. Wake up!
