In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.
“I’m sorry about this problem. This is a setback in the government’s work,” Putin said on December 14. “I promise that the situation will be corrected in the near future.”
Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!
Look, it isn’t hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don’t know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)
What the absolute ever loving fuck? Sending hundreds of thousands of his own people to a meat grinder he can stop right now, but eggs he can apologize for?
It’s something that affects average Russian people.
Don’t you remember when Americans were bitching about the price of eggs a few years ago? Basic ingredients are like gas. People notice when they go up in price.
I don’t get it - he funds American conservative politicians who have no trouble saying people shouldn’t rely on the government to solve their problems. Why not just say the same thing here? Especially since he can throw anybody who complains out the nearest window.
People dying in a war are to make Russia great and defend itself from the outside world. Or something like that and anyway who gives a fuck when it’s not you and just some other random Russian who’s probably a criminal anyway.
But eggs fuck that affects me and shows how shit the country is. Now that’s a serious issue!
I … On the one hand I’m pretty sure humans are considered animals, on the other hand, if vegans can’t eat anything or buy any product that was made using the exploitation of animals including humans that… Pretty much rules out everything purchased under capitalism and most other systems too.

It was a single year ago that they went crazy. But this has been a weird time to keep track of time
Might be the only thing Putin fears is revolution. I would think the risk of that increases in response to food scarcity being more common.
Or it’s just a worthless apology.
In that case, it’s sad that he doesn’t think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.
He just has to select the right people to send to stay in power
No, but sending hundreds of thousands of able and almost able bodied poor men to die is a good way to prevent violent revolution

Eggs are also generally a very economical source of protein, usually.
Blood is an excellent substitution as well
You can even make meringue with blood!
And human blood can be vegan!

The day I have to eat poached applesauce is also the day I overthrow my government.
Pickled applesauce just doesn’t go as well with water glasses of vodka.
You can’t invade neighboring countries on a vegan diet
Well, not with that attitude.
