US asks countries to help lower soaring prices of eggs
-
Ok I definitely thought they had more. Maybe I'm thinking of a different nutrient. I don't remember. Point is they are nutritious and they used to be cheap.
Cheese is the best source of protein for normal non-bodybuilder food.

everything except actually putting the companies responsible in check.
Theirs are the freedoms that we spend lives to protect.

And they all answered "yes, you can eat our eggs, but not how you would expect"

"The United States has reached out to Denmark..."
You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.
America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.
The eggs aren't even that much more expensive to produce. The hit has only been about 2%. There's still plenty of eggs. And it's the same with getting free range eggs instead of battery/cage - the increase in production price is pretty small, really.
It comes down to the same thing: the market charging premiums. They charge more for free range because it's 'luxury'. They charge more for organic because it's 'lifestyle'. And they charge more for eggs during US strife because it's 'supply and demand'.
They have the supply. They also have an excuse, and nobody is regulating them. The country doesn't need to buy eggs en masse, it needs to regulate pricing.

I would not send a single good egg until Jan 2029.

Bird flu talk sounds a little too close to vaccine talk, and farmers vote Republican.

Welp, that is a pretty legit-looking counterexample to the Trump administration helping farmers. I still stand by what I wrote, though. The countryside is red and bird flu is causing the egg shortage.

Maybe I’m uninformed in these things. But isn’t it super easy to get the supply of eggs increased domestically? Even in a country like India which almost has 1.5 billion people, I’ve never heard about a shortage of eggs.

I think the short supply is due to bird flu, so not really

It's what the administration demanded in order to 'talk to' Putin about ending the war in Ukraine.

Why then? It'll just be another corrupt warmonger. Might call themselves a democrat but in the end they still serve evil.

Good thing we've got so many international allies and are known for being such a stable, reliable economic partner. Now, if you'll excuse me, I haven't read the news in two months and I need to catch up on current events.

At costco by me, you can get 24 eggs for 9 dollars. At the regular grocery store you can get 12 for 6. I think the bigger impact is any product that has eggs in it has jacked up the price to a ridiculous extent, beyond what the shortage would require.
This is pretty much right. Just wanted to say that we deadass saw a small grocer selling loosies for a dollar about a month ago here in central Cali.

Cheese is high in fat, making it a bad source of protein for most people. It's delicious, but no very healthy.

sounds like socialism to me. allow the invisible hand to work.

Let me see... since new years you have threatened to annex Greenland, had Musk call our finest astronaut retarded, called our Prime Minister retarded, recently Roger Stone called one of our conservative politicians a sick demented asshole on Twitter when said politician asked for the general secretary of NATO to not joke about Trump and Greenland and... oh yeah, Trump and Vance attacked and insulted our dear friend, President Zelenskyj on world wide TV.
So...... how about no? Oh, I'm sorry: no, thank you.
Hey...just need to put this out there.
I'm sorry my government has the dumb. I am so, so embarrassed by how things are going and how horribly rude my so-called "leaders" are being to literally everyone.
I am not like that. I respect you and your country. I want to cry when I think about how Zelenskyj has been treated. I know many, many people just like me. We are NOT like our government. We are scared. Some of us are trying to get out of the country, but many of us literally cannot...for a host of reasons, many of which involve how little money we have been able to save while this is all happening.
I'm just so sorry. Not that this fixes anything. I'm just desperate to tell SOMEONE that. I hope you have a good day...and rest easier knowing I echo every sentiment of your post.

I've gone to the protests. Sadly, millions are not protesting.
Everybody here is paycheck-to-paycheck. Missing work because you were illegally detained at a protest may be the difference between living in a crappy apartment, or living under a bridge.
Part of the 2025 playbook is to get trump unlimited unchecked power, and use the military to enforce it domestically. Riots in the streets would certainly do that.
Right now, trump is doing more harm to his constituents than to his enemies. Republican politicians can barely show their faces in their own distric here. Don't give them another target to transfer that hate to.
Truth.
I've got kids and pets and I work with kids at an emergency shelter. Getting locked up means I could lose my job, which means I'd lose my shelter and my pets, maybe my kids...all because I decided to protest something that no politician in my area will even pay attention to.
I do protest sometimes, but I'm waiting. When there are things I can help with, I do that. But I'm not traveling several hours to get to a protest so I can get beat by cops, arrested, and potentially lose everything. This is a marathon, not a sprint...and I need to be able to help those who are already being left behind.
But my heart is with those who can protest. I share their stories when I see them. I make signs for them and have a kit to help anyone who gets hurt during a local protest. I walk and protest myself when I'm able...but yeah, I can't go to every single one.
