“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 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.
I don’t believe you. Or you’re not a stake holder anywhere. I have children. Wishing for things to get get worse is fucking stupid.
Well, well, well… if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions
as an American
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.
No - Bugs Bunny.
America, Fuck You Asshole!
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.
This is a joke right? Something from the Onion? Why would any country help out Trump now?
Ask Turkiye.
I thought the US didn’t need anything from anyone else? Isn’t that what you said?
“You will become part of the US.”
two days later…
“Bro my egg prices are high, can you help a brotha out?”
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’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
We’d be helping their industry recover from fuck ups, no thanks
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.
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
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.
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.
“On this trade war that HE started…”
Ok… but then it’d be truth for once 😅
Oh, we can all egg you.
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.
Capitalism artificially creates scarcity (or the illusion of scarcity) to generate capital.
Price collusion and greed
