    Itā€™s not even a push. My elderly mother was telling me about her elderly friends who were going on ā€œmissionsā€ to find eggs where they spent tons of gas driving around all day just trying to find eggs to buy since theyā€™re scarce.

    It floored me. I literally said to her ā€œdo they not understand if they stop buying them the demand will decrease and so will the price?ā€ She shrugged and agreed that it was really foolish and wasteful.

    Some people are just really ingrained in their habits and donā€™t even consider changing things like this in their lives.
