It's the Brian Laira show on WNYC.

Good morning again, everyone.

Let's talk about the price of eggs.

Not so much that bringing down the price of eggs was the main reason swing voters went for Donald Trump and it's not happening.

Rather, why the price of eggs in our area seems so crazily variable and the availability seems so

crazily variable and how to find eggs and how to find deals on eggs. Some people are even

buying eggs like some people buy cigarettes, Lucy's, one egg at a time, not a dozen or half a

dozen in a carton. And there's one story we're going to talk about where even

breaking a carton in half, so you get six, which I thought was really common, was controversial

at least one place. And with us for this is Dion Searcy, New York Times reporter, who writes

about how power and money shaped New York for better or worse. Our article published yesterday

is called for Sav savvy New Yorkers.

It's all about cheap eggs and where to find them.

Thanks for coming on, Dion.

Welcome to WNYC.

Thank you for having me, Brian.

And listeners, tell us your stories.

What have you done recently to find affordable eggs or to find any eggs?

Anyone buying or selling Lucy's want to

call in? Anyone thinking of this in terms of power and privilege, which is kind of Dion's beat,

212-433, WNYC, 212, 433-9-692, call or text. So your article opens with one Brooklyn neighbor asking another if they have any extra eggs.
