The US, grappling with an egg shortage, is reaching out to Lithuania for egg exports after Finland declined. The situation has prompted ridicule online.

Why are we asking for this? Just let the flu work itself out, deal with our costs, and focus on domestic production. Eggs are getting thrown out still. And those imports won’t save anyone who’s actually starving.
I bet they’re asking only to be able to say “see? Nobody helps us. Why should we defend them?”
I don’t think their thoughts go that far in advance. But yes, that’s how it’ll be sold in six months to a year when our chicken populations stabilize. For me though, this shouldn’t even be a matter for the government, if it’s going to happen at all. The egg producers should be doing this as part of their private enterprise, not the government. Eggland’s Best, Goldhen, and the like could handle it. I don’t want the government trying to do something that should be left to the free market.
Donald Cuck and company probably think bringing down egg prices will solve all their problems.
inb4 due to disagreements on, or shitty enforcement of sanitary norms new and exciting chicken plague will develop
Has the US even said thank you?!
Tell us to take a long walk off a short pier, Lithuania!
And where is the suit?!?
Nah, the others must say thank you ;-)
In a not so funny note, egg prices in the U.S. are up 19,19% in February (month-on-month).
If you look in /r/conservative on reddit they have a completely different view. Prices are down according to them. If you check from November. I can’t be arsed to check because I don’t care.
That whole subreddit is a huge circlejerk, so small doses are required or you’ll get nauseous.
Well, according to Trump, there is no friendship between nations, only deals and leverage. Well, orange man, what do you have to offer for our eggs? Maybe lift your stupid tariffs again?
That was the immediate thought I had. The US is going around like a beggar asking for eggs, it’s pathetic.
I’m making extra Easter eggs this year just for you, America.
This has Chris Griffin vibes, the episode where Chris and Meg take on Peter and Lois’ tasks, and Chris has a heart attack
Is there even an egg shortage? They stores where I shop usually have their egg fridges as full as usual, only more expensive
They’re full because they’re expensive. And they are expensive because there’s a shortage
This is fucking embarrassing.
You know it’s AI because of the waist sizes.
I wasn’t really into eggs, but now I’m gonna start enjoying our european eggs.
Now this is just pathetic.
Surely it’s easier to import from land neighbours? Oh…you’ve pissed them off?
Trump right now: They do not want to send their eggs to us? Fine, I will just conquer them and send it by myself.
Cue Canadians and Mexican torching their farms as they retreat, Russian-style
