US asks countries to help lower soaring prices of eggs
-
I would love to see NATO countries (besides the US) band together and say:
”We will come together to support our great ally, so long as she saves herself. Upon the acceptance of President Trump's and Vice President Vance's resignation, we will provide the aid that our friend needs."
Trump could, in fact, be the hero here. He could walk away from the presidency with a win. For added measure, these countries could write lofty and wonderful articles about Trump's selflessness.
We know he won't.
Aside: I'm not saying Mike Johnson would make a good president. But let's take this one thing at a time.
"On this trade war that HE started…"
Ok.. but then it’d be truth for once

I think you meant "kingdom of Denmark" there, but yeah
Fixed, thank you
-
"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.
Get bent, United States!

Ya farmer's markets are kinda pricey, eh?
I go downtown to FreshCo and it's $3 CAD per dozen, bud.
Better conditions for animals cost money. I'd rather no one eat eggs, but it's an improvement. Infustrial faming is a travesty.

Fuck kinda pricey bud. Where abouts?
That's about $3 USD per dozen. Maybe not as cheap as it used to be in America, but closer than it is now. And from a farmers market, no less.

Local farmers market in 'Berta.
Oh ya! The fancy ones. They’ll cost.
I get Farm eggs, local, at my Grover for 3.79 doz. I can get the regular big corporate ones for 2.99-3.99 depending on where/day/etc.

Meanwhile, the egg department in my grocery store is absolutely full not a single carton sold.
Nobody's paying eight bucks for a carton they can rot.
Meanwhile I bought a pack of chicken breasts at 267 a pound which is the normal price.
There's no shortage of chickens, there's no shortage of eggs

Help? Help? What happened to wanting to be a proud independent country that don't need no allies.
Maybe Russia has some eggs they can lend in these trying times.

I thought the US didn’t need anything from anyone else? Isn’t that what you said?

It sucks that this is happening.
Food staples becoming a cost-prohibitive thing, regardless of who's elected, is extraordinarily bad. I wish people could get past their reflexive need to point fingers and root for the other team to fail over this, because I'd think that wanting people to be able to eat is something we could all agree on.

I'll pay extra to tell the guy who gathered the eggs i appreciate him.

I'm not suggesting that corporations aren't inflating prices, but your chicken breasts come from birds which are slaughtered pretty young, as opposed to egg layers so there is a much larger window to be infected.
If there were any empty shelves, I'd buy it. I should have taken a picture. Nobody is buying any eggs. The price should have ridden that wave, there should be almost no eggs on the shelf, priced at the maximum that pushes product without quite selling out.
There were thousands of eggs there.
In covid we ran out of toilet paper, it wasn't 8x the price on the shelf. Those eggs on the shelves are weeks old now.

HPAI A(H5) or A(H7) virus infections can cause disease that affects multiple internal organs with mortality up to 90% to 100% in chickens, often within 48 hours.
They're not that young

Unfortunately things need to get bad enough that Trump loses his base or we'll be stuck in this shit forever. Best just to bite the bullet and brace for the shitty hopefully short term until he pushes the wrong person and everything comes crashing down on him. It's the only way forward that may actually result in improvement as far as I can see.

Genuinely, fuck us over as hard as you can.
I know about Type 2 “Sorry”, but there are an absolute shitload of idiots down here who don’t.
For those who don't know, Canada has two types of "Sorry".
The first is "I'm sorry for what I did."
And the second is "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do."
That's the one that usually ends up adding new entries to the Geneva Conventions.

Friends! Canadians! Countries of unfamiliar spellings! Lend me your eggs!

But don't send me your poor people. .. Unless they are carrying eggs. Then let them come... we'll keep the eggs and send the people back.
