“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.

    Citizen of the United States here. Don’t. Assume whatever this orange anal fistula offers to pay will in fact not be paid. Assume whatever agreement brokered will immediately be ignored or violated. Assume this pus filled clementine will still try to “take” Greenland.

    Let this shithole 3rd world country burn. It asked for fascism in the form of egg prices, let them deal with their egg prices.

      Also a Yank. At this point we really do deserve the punishment. I just hope that when we get a new administration in a little less than four years the world has a shred of sympathy for us.

    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’m not rooting for the other team to fail. I live here.

      let the american trash suffer. it’s the only thing americans even approach understanding. they cannot comprehend consequences in the future, cannot remember the past. only those that are happening right now. better this now than something worse later.

      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.

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

    I’m not saying we should…

    But negative tariffs on eggs coming out of the USA and ridiculous tariffs on eggs going into the USA would tickle my funny bone

      Hear me out - apply a tariff from EU to Canada on eggs (stay with me). Apply a tariff 2X that tariff to the US on eggs imported from Canada. Something something, profit

      OMG yes, have canada subsidize imports of american eggs. that would make me so fucking hot. I’d be out a lot of baked goods for a while, but cannot make myself care. I’ll learn to bake vegan or something.

    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.
