While banning them from Canada and Mexico. Makes sense. Checks out.
Ah yes. Transporting eggs via cargo container from the other side of the planet.
I’m sure this added logistics cost won’t hamper anything.
They’ll all come pre-scrambled.
I find chicken periods kinda gross as it is, but the mere thought that they sit in a container and travel around the globe is so disgusting to me.
Chickens don’t menstruate.
But… we don’t have an egg shortage. We have an egg price surplus. More eggs aren’t going to help. We need to stop appeasing the shareholders over the consumers.
I thought it all started with the bird flu…? Meaning there is a shortage of flu free eggs.
Lot of the price hike is just greedy dickheads blaming avian flu while they stuff their pockets.
If we could somehow vaccinate chickens, I wonder what the anti vaxxers would say. On the one hand they would be eating “potentially mutated and unsafe eggs” on the other hand they would be able to afford eggs.
There actually are vaccines for chickens that protects against Bird flu with multiple in development. However they are nog mass produced yet and currently only small trials are staking place where they vaccinate all or part of the chickens on a single farm. Information about two of the vaccines van be found at https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-regulatory-overview/public-health-threats/avian-influenza-bird-flu
Supply and demand is what dictates the prices.
Rofl no. Supply is kept artificially low to maintain prices. The global capitalist greed diseased oligarchs got bored with supply and demand a long time ago. Doesn’t metastasize their quarterly earnings fast enough.
OPEC and DeBeers don’t even do it in shadows.
You’re thinking of the doe eyed days when capitalism was giving you it’s talking points in grade school, deluding you. We’re in the terminal stage, all that mickey mouse bullshit of supply and demand, capitalism breeds competition, and participation is optional have been shown for the confidence scheme sales pitch to suckers that they are.
At least to everyone but Americans, who’ve been so propagandized against anything that isn’t toxic individualism most of us couldn’t define socialism with a library card and a gun to our heads.
Why not just ask us, the friendly Canadian neighbours for help?
All Trump needs to do is say thank you!
Well, I’ve never had turkey eggs before, but there’s a first time for everything…
They’re YUGE
The YUGELYEST
So they first begged the Danish for eggs. Then they came to beg for meine Deutschen Eier. Now they begged even more. I don’t even know how to make fun of this.
Mexico is a lot closer.
I hope countries start putting big export tarrifs on eggs to “protect domestic support” 400% should be a starting point.
I don’t get it why there is an egg crisis. If they are too expensive, don’t eat eggs. Are eggs like insulin for some people?
Eggs are a staple food and an ingredient in an absolute fuck ton of things. They’re also very nutrient-dense and a major source of protein for vegetarians and people who can’t eat meat. Sure, you can just not buy eggs but that’s not realistic for everyone and it doesn’t stop the price of everything that includes eggs as an ingredient from going up.
Such an american thing tho, i barely ever use eggs and i kinda like them, mostly just for cake thingies.
Not my point. Didn’t say eggs were bad. I implied that living without eggs for a while is not going to kill anyone, if anything, may help them reduce cholesterol and try other more sustainable sources of protein like soy.
can I offer you an egg in this trying time?
Frank is the golden goose.
They’ll arrive so fresh they’ll have legs
But turkey eggs have a completely different flavor…
Reminds me of when they had to break up packs of TP during the pandemic and sell them by the roll.
How the hell am I supposed to even carry 2 eggs home, anyway?
I’m pretty sure they mean 2 boxes.
Turkey and South Korea
Two more countries to boycott? No problem. Fuck you both.
