“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.
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
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!
leaps into arms
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?
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
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.
Don’t avocados have an insane ecological footprint?
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.
*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.
Oh man, most of my egg recipes do too
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.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.
FUCK THAT. Let’s see eggs go to $5/each. We need to face the consequences of our collective fucking idiot electoral choices.
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.
Dutch baby, also known as a German pancake, is a large, oven-baked pancake, similar to a popover or Yorkshire
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆👍
I would not send a single good egg until Jan 2029.
Why then? It’ll just be another corrupt warmonger. Might call themselves a democrat but in the end they still serve evil.
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.
How much do eggs cost at the moment?
South East on March 4th. Don’t know if they’ve come down since then. Others reports seem lower than this.
Denmark, from who they want to steal Greenland. They are obviously terminally stupid in Washington.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
everything except actually putting the companies responsible in check.
Bird flu talk sounds a little too close to vaccine talk, and farmers vote Republican.
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.
This is a joke right? Something from the Onion? Why would any country help out Trump now?
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.
while putting insane tariffs on the countries it imports food from
Also on the country they import most of their fertilizer from.
Real “stable genius” moves going on there.
Interesting that the orange traitor flooded CA’s farms in response to the recent wildfires, while also threatening undocumented farm workers, while also levying taxes across broad swaths of the economy. Seems to me that he’s been instructed on actions to take to raise food prices. Hmm…
Don’t forget the whole pretending that bird flu doesn’t exist thing.
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’d think that wanting people to be able to eat is something we could all agree on.
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.
Republican voters are not Nazis.
If you vote for a Nazi, you’re a Nazi
Further, your point makes no sense because these economic impacts hit everyone, not just the people you dislike
My only point was that Nazis deserve a painful death, nothing more, nothing less
LOL
Good luck winning elections with this bullshit, friend.
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.
