    Uhhhh... did you read Clear and Present Danger or Patriot Game or The Sum of All Fears?

    Those movies had same concepts as the books, and that's about it.

    Clear and Present Danger was a kickass book. Casting Willem Dafoe as John Clark was a joke.

    I did.   Like I said, I may well be amalgamating the books and movies in my mind at this point.    Its been a long time ago that I read them.

    but the idea that eggs are going to get back to "cheap" prices is a non-starter.

    eggs are a nonsensical singular data point to evaluate food inflation on because most retailers buy their eggs based on a formula of the bid/ask commodity price.  So there is significant retail price volatility in eggs.  Same with milk and meat.  Also, retailers have often used these products to price differentiate themselves and sell them as loss leaders.

    much of the center of the store selection is sold on a agreed price over time.  The manufacturer deals with the commodity input risk.

    Is it prudent for the fed to cut interest rates right now or not? 

    I am generally opposed to rate cuts at the moment.  ZIRP is a market distortion that has contributed a ton to the affordability crisis(most specifically housing, but all assets) we currently are experiencing.

    granularly a 1/4 point don't make a shit either way.
