    Crazy how people are like: "where my eggs?" And not enough people are like: "poor chickens, we need to do something." Everyone deserves this "egg crisis" that only effects people who even eat eggs for no reason.

        This really speaks volumes to how little people care about where their food comes from.

        The amount of meat, for example, that is just thrown away sickens me. As if it's not bad enough that we farm animals in deplorable conditions, we kill them so they can be thrown straight into the trash.

        Sometimes, when I am reminded of the plague our species is upon this planet, I just can't care about keeping homo sapiens sapiens from going extinct.

          The U.S. government is on a global egg hunt, seeking exports from countries in Europe and elsewhere to ease a severe shortage that has caused egg prices at grocery stores to hit record highs.

              Isn't birdflu common? I have it every year in my country but does not have such a large scale disruption.

              Seem like a new variant or something

              I think it's still H5N1.

              The main issue is that america loves it big, and big schicken farms make an outbreak more likely and way more catastropic.

              A farmer would have to kill 100 chicken. With a big factory, it could be well over a million.

                I meant stop buying more eggs than they were before. People are panic buying eggs. Just stop paying high prices for everything, that's why prices are high.

                    If people were rational, then they would use a substitute or reduce their consumption. Demand goes down, then price goes down. Egg prices affect baked goods as well, so when people are paying high prices they are shooting themselves in the foot.

                      Our eggs are too good for the US anyway: not bleached and can be safely eaten raw.

                        I'd vote to ship as many eggs as the market can bear. With the proviso that each egg comes painted with the face of Donald Trump and an "information" pamphlet..

                          "USA first and only! Tarrifs for you, you and you! We hate employees. Healthcare is a benefit for the rich! You owe us money because we say so! We'll take greenland one way or another. Nazi salutes in the presidential office are cool! Ukraine needs to be thankful that they are allowed to give us all their natural resources!"

                          Moments later.

                          "Hey, btw, would you mind giving us some eggs please? What? Why not?"

                              A country doesn't enforce tarriffs on other countries... unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean.
