Ah, Scott,
Ha ha! Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage. However, our eggs? We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here. Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else. The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens. A hard decision.
I know what you mean about the high cost of drugs. I recently had to get meds for my mother from a Canadian pharmacy because only the non-generic version is available is the USA, and it is ~$550 per month here, while in Canada the generic version is only around 1/3 the cost.
