US asks countries to help lower soaring prices of eggs
"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.

Do not help us. This is what we deserve.
💯
What's ironic is that from all countries he is asking Denmark. Greenland is An autonomous territory under the kingdom of Denmark.
I heard that before asking Greenland he was asking Canada as well.
Is he trying to neg us by threatening our sovereignty and then asking for a favour??? Most high schoolers know better than to fall for that. Like, get real.
I think that's the point. Bullying/Threatening countries and then "asking" them for help. Then if they don't oblige he uses it to booster support for the bullying and threats. Similar ordeal with cutting aid to Egypt and then asking them to take something like 1.5 million people in from Gaza that Trump doesn't want on their homeland.
I think you meant "kingdom of Denmark" there, but yeah
Fixed, thank you
We don't recognize monarchies as valid governments here.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Sincerely,
An egged-up Australian

Canada here. Our eggs are cheap.
You want em?
Take your trade war agression and shove it up your ass!
You want to take our sovereignty away?
…starve.
Brb going to throw eggs across the border
Aim for a Tesla
the US right now
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.
I might agree to ship Canadian eggs to the US...
The Kinder Surprise ones, that is.
I'm assuming the bottom 30% dumbest of the US population would instantly die from choking on the toy inside.
I mean that’s why they’re still banned in the US
Apparently it's only American kids that are at risk of these things.
You want eggs? Fucking take em
triple charge for eggs.
Denmark, from who they want to steal Greenland. They are obviously terminally stupid in Washington.
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'll take a couple of them Fabergé eggs.
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.
As a Canadian, the US can have my eggs on the condition of the delivery method being lobbing them over the border at official government buildings.
Ok that’s fair
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.
Unfortunately Europe can't wait four years for the US to start taking their responsibilities on the world stage seriously again. Russia will almost certainly move within that time, so Europe is now having to build up its defenses in a way that they've never previously had to do since the 1940s. Assuming the US does come around (that is a big "if") by that point Europe will have already got used to using its own military. The US will no longer be required.
I really don't see any way that things can now go back to the way they were. Trade will, but I think the days of cooperative military action are over. If you guys get embroiled in another pointless war in the Middle East, I think you're going to have to do that on your own.
Trade is unlikeky to return. There was a short us-eu tariffs War during Trumps first presidency. I think it was on fruit. The buyers found suppliers in other countries and havent returned.
This time around the eu tariff warriors are going for about 100 times as much in tariffs and are attacking republican mainstays, such as louisiana (som beans) where the republican speaker Mike Johnson got his mandate.
Trump will rage and consider it election interference. We will snicker and ignore that.
Trade well not go back to normal in four years. How could you ever trust any sort of deal singed by America? I sure hope we get more tech companies globally out of this and we stop selling them to American companies.
At the moment, you definitely do. Most of you, and not just Trump voters. Why are you guys so fucking passive? Where are the millions of people protesting on the streets? Where's the civil disobedience? The strikes? With the attitude the Americans show currently, there will be no elections in 4 years, hell, there might not even be mid-term elections in 2
The news media here are owned. Those things are happening, but they're not being reported.
What about social media? The news media isn’t censoring Lemmy, why aren’t protestors at least sharing photos and videos here to get the word out?
So, millions of people are protesting?
I've gone to the protests. Sadly, millions are not protesting.
Everybody here is paycheck-to-paycheck. Missing work because you were illegally detained at a protest may be the difference between living in a crappy apartment, or living under a bridge.
Part of the 2025 playbook is to get trump unlimited unchecked power, and use the military to enforce it domestically. Riots in the streets would certainly do that.
Right now, trump is doing more harm to his constituents than to his enemies. Republican politicians can barely show their faces in their own distric here. Don't give them another target to transfer that hate to.
Truth.
I've got kids and pets and I work with kids at an emergency shelter. Getting locked up means I could lose my job, which means I'd lose my shelter and my pets, maybe my kids...all because I decided to protest something that no politician in my area will even pay attention to.
I do protest sometimes, but I'm waiting. When there are things I can help with, I do that. But I'm not traveling several hours to get to a protest so I can get beat by cops, arrested, and potentially lose everything. This is a marathon, not a sprint...and I need to be able to help those who are already being left behind.
But my heart is with those who can protest. I share their stories when I see them. I make signs for them and have a kit to help anyone who gets hurt during a local protest. I walk and protest myself when I'm able...but yeah, I can't go to every single one.
I don't know what's happening everywhere else but I'm joining protests in my area when they pop up. It really isn't being reported to diminish dissent
Kudos to you for doing your part. It's just so disappointing to see how you guys are the minority fighting an uphill battle and how so little support comes from the Democrats or any other powerful organization
It will only take two years if people actually fucking vote in the midterms. But midterm turnout is historically… Well… Complete dogshit. And republicans are statistically more likely to vote in midterms.
That’s why Trump is moving so fast to try and secure things; He doesn’t truly have four years to cement himself as god-emperor. He only has two before he potentially loses his majority in congress. So he has to be crowned before then.
But even with that being said, I don’t have high hopes. As I said before, republicans are more likely to vote in midterms. Maybe Trump’s antics will be enough to get some blue voters off of their asses. But at this point, I’m not holding my breath.
They rigged the election through gerrymandering. They have had this planned for a long time. We are not playing the same game anymore.
I hope that you get a new administration in a little less than 4 years.
The Republicans aren't destroying the rule of law and hand absolute power to the presidency, just to give it to the opposition on the next occasion.
He said he wishes for things to get better, though.
I’m a US citizen and I agree with them 100%. A bunch of us tried to tell everyone that Trump was a fascist dumpster fire that would try to make himself king, trash the economy and violate everyone’s civil and human rights. A bunch of ding dongs voted for him anyway. Now he’s making outlandish and insulting demands of our allies, fucking up trade and markets (along with abusing the civil and human rights of some protesters, asylum seekers and random travelers, oh, and throwing Ukraine under the bus and encouraging a fucking measles outbreak). So yeah, I don’t want my house and retirement savings to go into the shitter if the country goes full Nazi and I have to flee with nothing. So maybe if some folks have to do without eggs and cheap imports for a while they just might maybe learn that we need to pull the US out of this tailspin before it’s too late. Some fucking people just will not listen when you tell them the stove is hot. So now we all suffer while they touch the red hot burner and go “Duho, that hurts!”
This is why we HAD allies. Had. To assist with the largesse we consume as Americans. You don’t get to swing your orange dick around at the world, offending and assaulting every ally, and then ask for help.
Ask Canada… oh, wait!
WOMP WOMP WOMP, EH?
Just picked up 2 dozen local eggs for $9.99CAD.
Fuck kinda pricey bud. Where abouts?
Local farmers market in 'Berta.
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.
I'll pay extra to tell the guy who gathered the eggs i appreciate him.
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.
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.
Good thing we've got so many international allies and are known for being such a stable, reliable economic partner. Now, if you'll excuse me, I haven't read the news in two months and I need to catch up on current events.
Well, in those two months the USA has made new enemies by insulting and threatening with invade his own allies. Worst, the USA started an economic war against his allies for no reason.
So no, now we are not willing to help.
Guess I needed to add an /s to that one.
As a true American, don't help us with eggs, it'l hurt your country in the long run. Let us suffer so we can get our heads out of our asses and purge the nazis.
"You will become part of the US."
two days later....
"Bro my egg prices are high, can you help a brotha out?"
So Trump can't get it under control. Got it.
Well, he solved it on day one.
On day two, eggs went unexpectedly expensive again. It's not his fault.
Let me see... since new years you have threatened to annex Greenland, had Musk call our finest astronaut retarded, called our Prime Minister retarded, recently Roger Stone called one of our conservative politicians a sick demented asshole on Twitter when said politician asked for the general secretary of NATO to not joke about Trump and Greenland and... oh yeah, Trump and Vance attacked and insulted our dear friend, President Zelenskyj on world wide TV.
So...... how about no? Oh, I'm sorry: no, thank you.
Hey...just need to put this out there.
I'm sorry my government has the dumb. I am so, so embarrassed by how things are going and how horribly rude my so-called "leaders" are being to literally everyone.
I am not like that. I respect you and your country. I want to cry when I think about how Zelenskyj has been treated. I know many, many people just like me. We are NOT like our government. We are scared. Some of us are trying to get out of the country, but many of us literally cannot...for a host of reasons, many of which involve how little money we have been able to save while this is all happening.
I'm just so sorry. Not that this fixes anything. I'm just desperate to tell SOMEONE that. I hope you have a good day...and rest easier knowing I echo every sentiment of your post.
(not so) fun fact: This entire text mirrors the sentiments of half of Russians today.
So expect to be lumped in with the rest, enough Americans support this to represent the county as a whole.
Fun fact: I don't blame Russians for Putin.
We get that some Americans voted against all this, and don't support it.
And I hope those reasonable Americans can rescue their country from the situation it has caused for itself.
But for now, as the leadership of the USA is attacking my country, my response has to be to protect my country from the insanity that has taken over America.
I wish you well, and hope you guys can fix your country before it destroys us all.
And I genuinely wish you all the luck in doing so. The defender should have the luck against the aggressor. I hope the USA either gets its shit together or unceremoniously implodes. I want as few collateral damage as possible.
Then we figure out how insignificant we are individually and start pulling as a team...maybe make a country worth having for once.
But without the oligarchs.
Ah, don't worry. I do not hold the American people responsible for what has happened to your country. When it comes down to it, the individual American has very little say in what it's government is doing and in my opinion, your government has been very successful in manipulating its population into believing in a very untrue and very romantic image of how America is and how it is perceived in the world at large.
So don't apologize. You can't help where you were born and raised, neither can the rest of the world's population. I cant help that i was born and raised in a country that decided to spy on its european neighbors for America and i would be very annoyed if people online blamed me personally for what some retards in charge have decided to do. If anything, my sympathies goes out to people like you who are trapped in that hellhole. I do hope this is just a very unfortunate stumble in American history and that your country will return to form and eventually evolve socially like I have wished for you for decades.
I will be honest, I have very few nice things to say about America, long before trump even came on my radar. I have despised America for most of my life, but I don't hate all Americans. At all. It's not your fault your country is built on a system that caters to the rich and teaches its people that all things that are good for the people is evil communism while all things good for the 1% is good for everybody. You guys deserves so much better.
America as an institution and a public face on the world scene, however, I have no love for. I never had and I wasn't surprised when it decided to stab us in the back the moment we needed it despite us bleeding money and young men's blood for the American institution for 20 years. I am not surprised that we are being treated this way. It fits perfectly with the American playbook I have witnessed since I was a kid and saw Bush use 911 to invade the middle east and high key sent a message to the rest of us that if we weren't on America's side we would be their enemy. Which is partially why I think we ended up joining you in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But no, I'm not surprised that this is our reward for bleeding for the American institution. Threats of annexing our territory, childish insults to our politicians, abandoning Ukraine and making friends with Russia. America has only ever cared about its own interests while pretending to be the world hero. All trump did was going mask off and that must be a shock to some Americans who believed the American institution was good and selfless.
Those people are really not paying attention to history at all. There is definitely a reason people want to bomb us. We earned that hate.
I really wish people could pick a different country...like, nope, I disagree with literally everything here. Next!
But that only works if you have enough money to completely relocate...and then you're leaving the country slightly crappier than before. But I don't blame my friends for leaving. They aren't safe here anymore...
Honestly, there is no need for any of us to bomb the US when the US government pretty much does that already.
For what it is worth, I hope your friends find better lives to where ever they have relocated. I also hope that you find a way to live that is happy and peaceful in spite of what is happening in your country.
I am currently preparing myself for a semi-perminent state of war in Europe where Russia will terrorize in the east and America will terrorize in the west. I hope that it won't get that far, but I am also preparing myself for my country being possibly invaded by America. Hopefully this won't happen, but the way things are moving, I'm starting to preparing myself for it.
I feel sad for the kids who have to grow up in this scenario. I hope my own nieces and nephews will get to experience a peaceful Europe again someday. The only good thing to come out of this is is that we have been forced to stand up for ourselves instead of relying on others. It was weak of us to believe that the rest of the world learned the same lessons during ww2 that we did. Russia obviously didn't and neither did America. Where our takeaway from ww2 was humility, responsibility and forgiveness, the US spent decades making romantic war movies where they cast themselves as the heroes of ww2. It was always about glory and ego for the US. There was very little in understanding of the cost of that war and that makes sense because it didn't happen in your backyard. And maybe that is why your country loves war so much. Because war never happens to you. It is something you inflict on others or use to make yourselves richer. (I don't mean you personally, I'm talking about the institution)
Oh I completely agree!! 100%
Well said.
Solidarity hug! I hope we will all have a better future ahead of us than the current trajectory. 🤗❤️
Hilarious. The US reaching out to the people they've insulted, threatened or victimized in some way, shape or form and asking them for help. And when they get refused, they'll tell the American people that everyone is being so mean to them.
That's what happens when the country is led by someone who has never faced consequences fir anything
Air delivered eggs from another continent, surely they're going to be cheap. If only there were at least two neighboring countries that could be able to send them for cheaper...
Unfortunately they have totally unpreventable tariffs right now. I said totally unavoidable. No way to prevent it.
Very sad, very sad
Everyone's saying it.
👐🏼
😆
Why would anyone want to help ?
For profit.
Trump Says “We Don't Need Products From Canada”. Repeatedly said in recorded interviews.
Oh now Trump wants allies?
Recognize the passive voice: "The US has reached out". They don't say Trump reached out or the Trump administration reached out.
Ask for 50% mineral rights and a thank you.
OOTL... What's with the thank you meme?
American responding here.
JD Vance and Trump both told Zelenskyy that he never said thank you for our help. They are such fucking twats and ignore how many times he’s said it in the past publicly.
Oh gotcha. Thanks for the response. Hopefully we as a country figure it out before it's too late. My Facebook feed doesn't give me much hope though...
Trump/Vance and Zelensky had a meeting recently where it was ridiculous hostile and mentioned trival things like Zelensky didn't say thank you. I would recommend watching it but it very embarrassing for a "world leader" to be so hostile to a friendly nation.
That's why Zelensky went on x and thank everyone afterwards
https://youtu.be/v_kTNIYsFnQ?eQUm55ju6GKxNTdT
Oooh... I did watch that video, just must have missed that part of it with all the other nonsense that went on in that meeting. It was embarrassing for sure
Its at 2:20 I think.
It's what the administration demanded in order to 'talk to' Putin about ending the war in Ukraine.
Good lord... Don't tell me more. I can't roll my eyes any harder than I already am...
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 😅
Honestly, I love this idea. Why aren't America's former allies calling for the resignation of Trump and Vance? Let the American people know that if they want cheaper eggs, and better trade deals, they're going to have to find a way to get rid of these traitors who have seized power.
I'm confused as to why people are still buying eggs. I've gotten on fine without them all my life
They were a relatively cheap, healthy, reliable source of protein. Also, they're delicious.
Probably the most versatile food as well.
…7 grams of protein as a day’s supply? Ok
Cheese is the best source of protein for normal non-bodybuilder food.
Cheese is high in fat, making it a bad source of protein for most people. It's delicious, but no very healthy.
Sixty five percent of adults worldwide are lactose intolerant. Not a good source for the majority.
I like making Dutch babies
...I wanna know what kind of kinky shit you're into if impregnating Dutch women requires a dozen eggs?
Rofl! You made me drop my phone.
Its a pancake.
Oooooooooohhhhhhhh....that actually sounds really good lol sorry for the confusion.
No worries, it was sort of intentional
Probably mostly restaurants right now.
I thought the US didn’t need anything from anyone else? Isn’t that what you said?
Lay your own eggs, turkey looking cunt.
If we did, we couldn’t import them and charge a tariff to bleed our people dry one egg at a time until they are broke and slaves on the corporate plantation.
Jive ass turkey looking cunt
The Norwegian government will offer eggs, and we will only ask for the state of New York or as we like to call it: Nye Jorvik. The citizens of Nye Jorvik will enjoy all the benefits from a stabile, functioning social democracy.
everyone moves to Nye Jorvik
Please, take me! Take us!

Can you ask them to throw in New Jersey too?

This is a joke right? Something from the Onion? Why would any country help out Trump now?
Ask Turkiye.
The fastest way to have a people turn on it's leaders is for the food supply to be threatened.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Americans turned on their leaders?
Yup. The US is currently deporting a significant portion of it's agricultural workforce, while putting insane tariffs on the countries it imports food from, while also doing major cuts to the government which makes problems like avian flue more likely.
The Trump regime has a very "let them eat cake" approach to the food supply.
Also on the country they import most of their fertilizer from.
Real "stable genius" moves going on there.
Don't forget the whole pretending that bird flu doesn't exist thing.
Hold the line Denmark. Don't pull a fucking Australia. Fuck those guys.
I don't know if it helps anyone, but you don't need eggs to survive
Exactly, hamburgers, fries, kfc and pizza are all egg-free. What do they need eggs for, breakfast menu at macdonalds?
Doesn't KFC use eggs in the batter?
What does it look like when one of the world's superpowers can't even ensure they can provide such a basic thing as eggs to their citizens.
If it was any other country at any other time, I doubt this would even hit the news. But it's the US after refusing vaccinations, losing a bunch of stock to a disease, all whilst claiming the egg prices will be lowered, so here we are.
I feels very Soviet Uniony, but the US has always a lot in common with Russia..
It's called a revolt.
The United States isn't a superpower.
It's just a country with a lot of guns.
It's the foremost superpower by the definition of the word.
Most of my cookie recipes use eggs!
Look up vegan alternatives to eggs. I know applesauce can be used in cookies as my wife has done this. Also if you need eggs in savory recipes avocados have the same fat to protein ratio and work great
Don't avocados have an insane ecological footprint?
*compared to other plants.
They are associated with less carbon emissions per kg than eggs. Normally the real issue is that we're exporting the ecological impacts, but if people are importing eggs, avocados are probably better of both fronts. Source
I personally use flax as an egg replacer most of the time.
Yup and are comparable in price to eggs currently I didn't say it was a practical alternative just that they work as a perfect replacement. More of just highlighting there are options.
One of my kids is super allergic to eggs so we've gone years without them in the house and found ways to adjust recipes due to that and other food allergies.
The cool thing is theres like a dozen different alternatives that all taste different, which cab be overwhelming at first but you have a lot more choice as well. Apple sauce is excellent for a lot of sweet breakfast recipes and pastries. We've used bananas too, and like you said avocado is a good choice too.
Aquafaba from garbanzo beans is an excellent egg substitute for baking.
Oh man, most of my egg recipes do too
What will I eat with my bacon?!
More bacon.
Perhaps a couple of Lipitor? In my house we've started saving money by substituting Wegovy for eggs in our recipes.
I would not send a single good egg until Jan 2029.
I'd give Drumph some eggs, if only he would come within range...
Actually I would send them ONE egg, so that they can suck on it.
Why then? It'll just be another corrupt warmonger. Might call themselves a democrat but in the end they still serve evil.
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.
Well, well, well... if it isn't the consequences of your own actions
Yah, we're going to need you to go fuck yourself.
It's a weird feeling, being what feels like a sane person in an insane country run by insane people. Hearing people tell us to go fuck ourselves when we probably agree with everything they are saying. And really not even blaming them for feeling that way based on the absolute lunatics in charge and how they behave.
Those of us who are sane totally get it.
Is this some kind of sick joke?? Get fucked.
Government: Runs into crowd of friends while winging haymakers.
Friends: JFC what the hell dude!?
Government: Fuck you, now give me your house. ... ... ... Can you spot me $50 until payday?
America is basically the scumbag Steve meme from the early Internet.
R.I.P Scumbag Steve.
Going to assume you mean the meme.
Blake Boston, the guy whose picture was used for Steve, was alive and well as of August last year, at least according to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA296fsdaB4, and there's no obituary showing up online.
The Wikipedia article for the meme would almost certainly have been updated if there'd even been a whiff of that.
Oh? I was under the impression you didn't need us lesser and grifter nations? That we took you for a ride?
Hm... I propose a fair trade - you might even call it "the best deal ever". Our eggs, for your cards.
Wait, I forgot. Your cards lost their value recently, as they couldn't do shit for Ukraine against our common enemy.
The eggs aren't even that much more expensive to produce. The hit has only been about 2%. There's still plenty of eggs. And it's the same with getting free range eggs instead of battery/cage - the increase in production price is pretty small, really.
It comes down to the same thing: the market charging premiums. They charge more for free range because it's 'luxury'. They charge more for organic because it's 'lifestyle'. And they charge more for eggs during US strife because it's 'supply and demand'.
They have the supply. They also have an excuse, and nobody is regulating them. The country doesn't need to buy eggs en masse, it needs to regulate pricing.
They actually don’t have the supply. The USA is short tens of millions of eggs because of all the hens they had to slaughter due to bird flu. Which RFK probably doesn’t think is real.
This is the danger. The conspiracy crowd is already denying bird flu. The culls are evidence of government conspiracy to force us to eat da bugs/fake meat.
We’re going to hit a pandemic which our government will pretend does not exist. The narrative has already been hammered out on Facebook for them.
sounds like socialism to me. allow the invisible hand to work.
If the invisible hand end up yeeting Trump out of the White House, I'm all for it
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
We'd be helping their industry recover from fuck ups, no thanks
Bird flu talk sounds a little too close to vaccine talk, and farmers vote Republican.
They do, indeed.
Welp, that is a pretty legit-looking counterexample to the Trump administration helping farmers. I still stand by what I wrote, though. The countryside is red and bird flu is causing the egg shortage.
Theirs are the freedoms that we spend lives to protect.
Americas chickens coming home to roost
They did that on 9-11. Out of a plane full of Saudis and two Iraqis, look how that is still turning out.
European nations, please say that you will export eggs only when the idiots are out of power.
Hi, please don't. Let us suffer so these fuckers can hurt more. - Californian
Kneel down and beg.
No, fuck you.
We use the word eggs in German the way yankies use nuts or balls. That said, yes, you can swallow our eggs, dear US government.

Deez eggs
How’d your most recent election go?
Iirc, they didn't actually elect fascists.
Traitors who deserve prison can downvote me all they want, Germans whining about the US after that election are a joke.
Has America considered asking Panama for eggs? Or Gaza?
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
Capitalism artificially creates scarcity (or the illusion of scarcity) to generate capital.
Price collusion and greed
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.
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.
They are not the same birds. Layers are older birds then the meat birds. So yes the laying hens could be wiped out well the meat birds are not.
So, to be clear, you're claiming that meat birds are not wiped out by the flu and there's a vast shortage of laying hens, while the markets are absolutely overflowing with eggs?
that math doesn't math.
If eggs are $8 a pack (I'm assuming that's a pack of six), then there is no way that imports would be any better even if they weren't tariffed. The average price of eggs in the UK comes out at the equivalent of around $1-3 per pack of 6, so unless you can internationally ship them for $4 or less, it's not going to make any difference.
Every store I've been in for months is absolutely full of eggs. No one will buy them. If having too many eggs on the shelf lowers prices we'd already be there.
This is just him trying to find a way to not have everyone quite so mad at him.
Denmark: Did you say "please" even once?

I fucking hate living in the US. It's embarrassing.
America, Fuck You Asshole!
A simple "Fuck off America" would suffice
Yeah, good luck with that America after you've insulted and threatened every ally that would sell us eggs.
Dumbasses.
That would increase the prices in the exporting countries. It's not as if there's such a huge surfeit that they're being destroyed.
Time to educate Trump in the fine art of export tariffs.
No - Bugs Bunny.
charge us more, seriously
Get bent, United States!
And they all answered "yes, you can eat our eggs, but not how you would expect"
Mexico's got some huevos for the U.S to suck on
Iraq: has oil
Murca: we declare a freedom on you!
Canada: has oil
Murca: we declare a freedom on you!
Denmark: has eggs
Murca: we declare a freedom on you!
only if you kick russia out of Ukraine.
Oh, so now the US has pivoted to strongman style diplomacy where you rattle your sabre and then ask for concessions? I've bought a fresh carton of eggs last week, Orange Felon and his tech bro boyfriend can have them projectile delivered straight to their stupid mugs.
What do you mean "now"? This has been standard practice for the past 200 years.
The world: How much are your eggs?
Trump: $100
The world: Sure we'll help... that will be $99.
Get on your knees and beg, donny.
And don't you dare to forget wear a very nice suit and say thank you to everyone you see.
Oh, we can all egg you.
Friendly reminder that eggs aren't a required part of a healthy diet, from your friendly neighborhood vegan!
you don't know any one else's dietary needs
Good for you!
I'm not even vegan and I've always gotten on fine without eggs
Maybe it's time for Europe to make a Trump-style "deal" with the US for Ukraine
Oh nooo, won't someone think of poor America.
I propose a deal. It could be known as the best deal ever! The US ramps up support of Ukraine, so they can finally beat Russia and get peace. Then invite Ukraine into NATO. This also forms a buffer for Europe against Russia. Then Europe will send you all the eggs you need, for free.
Implement fucking price controls before you beg for European eggs ffs
If there really are not enough eggs, that would just lead to eggs being constantly sold out.
But there are enough. If there aren't, then stores can put limits on how many you can buy.
There literally aren't enough because of that flut that killed the chickens, at least in the US.
What does it mean the US has reached out? Individual store chains? State governments? Certainly not Trump.
Likely USDA which is under one of his appointees so either way very dumb.
I know right.
Hey we don't want your crap in our country. America first. But while I have you on the phone....
'Request denied', this is an AI response derived from our 'don't give a damn' American Tech programmers.
Didn't their leader said they don't need to rely on other countries?
Other countries: "No. Thank you." 🤭🤭🤭🖕🖕🖕
You're not wrong, I'm just going to fix something.
Other countries: "No. Thank you." 🤭🖕🤭🖕🤭🖕
We'll help out, but it will take some weeks. Those eggs don't become rotten in a day.
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆👍
UNREAL.
Rest of the world: “No”
How much do eggs cost at the moment?
At costco by me, you can get 24 eggs for 9 dollars. At the regular grocery store you can get 12 for 6. I think the bigger impact is any product that has eggs in it has jacked up the price to a ridiculous extent, beyond what the shortage would require.
So 30-50¢ each.
Doesn't sound that bad.
Thanks for your explanation and greetings!
This is pretty much right. Just wanted to say that we deadass saw a small grocer selling loosies for a dollar about a month ago here in central Cali.
New England area checking in - currently about 5.90 at Aldi and like 8.10ish at stop and shop.
Edit: per dozen
Each?
You might want to state the normal purchasing quantity for people outside the US.
That sounds like the price for a dozen.
Hah! Get wrecked, cunt!
lol
I've got a whole sack of eggs I'm selling for cheap, but you gotta extract them yourselves. In fact, I'll even pay you, but then you gotta go after. Don't hang around after.
I'm not kinkshaming, but yeesh, you can do better.
Maybe I’m uninformed in these things. But isn’t it super easy to get the supply of eggs increased domestically? Even in a country like India which almost has 1.5 billion people, I’ve never heard about a shortage of eggs.
I think the short supply is due to bird flu, so not really
Ah I see. Thanks for the details.
Eggs are being seized at the border and destroyed
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.
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.
The MEGA crowd only cares about themselves, it's unfortunate that normal people have to suffer but the only way to snap them out of their brainwashed state, is to force them day, after day, after day, after day, to suffer the consequences of their own idiot decisions. That means long-term economic hardship for Americans as a direct result of Trump's actions.
Many have already lost their jobs because it turns out that they are "The Waste", and +5 Trump districts are now booing their own representatives in town halls, so maybe that realization will come sooner than later.
Nazis deserve the slowest and most painful starvation possible, so we most certainly do not all agree on that
Republican voters are not Nazis.
What they are is desperate, because they spent the last three years being rendered significantly poorer and Democrats didn't do anything meaningful about it, and in fact, doubled-down on it in the campaign and unironically told people they should be joyful. (Like a bunch of fucking idiots.)
Further, your point makes no sense because these economic impacts hit everyone, not just the people you dislike. Logically you're cheering for your own house to be burned down because there's a spider in it. It's completely unreasonable.
If you vote for a Nazi, you're a Nazi
My only point was that Nazis deserve a painful death, nothing more, nothing less
LOL
Good luck winning elections with this bullshit, friend.
You sound a whole lot like a Democrat when faced with voting to enrich the wealthy versus funding free school lunches.
