The US is on an egg hunt in Europe to ease prices at home

I'd hate it if we were to bail them out.

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.
The US is raising egg prices in my country. Keep your hands away from my eggs!

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.
You can absolutely cling to DARVO-style explanations for Trump's fuckups if you want. You can even cut back on eggs a bit, and do your part.

I just want to say that while scrolling by the thumbnail for this post, my brain guessed that the article was about chickens playing checkers using their eggs as game pieces.
That's why I stopped to check on what it was about.
Brains are odd.

Egg prices aren’t even being driven by a shortage. Every local market near me has thousands of eggs that are about to expire. Which means they have sat there long enough to expire, because nobody is buying them. People are seeing the increased egg prices, and simply eating fewer eggs.
Studies have found that the recent issues should only affect egg prices by ~10-15%. But instead, we have seen increases as high as 200-500%. The real issue is greedflation; Egg producers did the math on supply and demand, and realized selling less eggs could be more profitable. Imagine they can sell 5 egg cartons at $2 each, or 2 cartons at $6 each. The latter nets them more profit and they don’t have to produce+package+ship as many eggs, which lowers their overhead costs.

It's econ 101. Demand should go down if prices go up, but people are fucking dumb and just accept higher prices. I'm seeing signs at the grocery store that say "limit 3 cartons." People are absolutely panic buying more eggs than they need. Just like ps5s there was a "shortage" due to scalping, but people were buying them from scalpers because fomo. The same people elected DT, you reap what you sow.

Heaven forbid Asia has any eggs.

Your experience is interesting, because where I am it absolutely is a shortage. Most stores are putting a limit of 1 dozen eggs per customer because it was getting so bad. The only place where I can reliably find eggs is the farmer's market and the organic store.

It’s PATHETIC.

I bet you think the president personally calls every gas station to set the prices. There's literally nothing he can do about egg prices, he lied if you can actually beleive it. Consumers are responsible for the prices they pay. If the store is gouging you and you still buy it, then you have no right to complain.

He sure boasted like he would.
Also didn't mind stating that the high prices (at the time) were caused by Joe Biden.
Whatchamacallit got next, DARVO Vader?

Can anyone explain why there is a shortage of eggs?
Is it bird flu? Or did a big buisness close down? Tarrif?
What is it?
