“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.

    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

      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.

        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 :)

        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.
