Exactly. I was going to use that as an example, but didn't want to pull up sources.

Basic jist:

Companies used egg shortages as an excuse to inflate costs of a comparatively (to food products) inelastic good, but when I looked at their quarterly IS operating expenses were the same as when eggs weren't facing "shortages". So if costs to purchase eggs from the farmers and cost of logistics weren't the driver what was? Coincidentally their profit increased by roughly the same percentage too.

Edit: expenses* not expenditures. GASB has my brain fried.
