"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.

European nations, please say that you will export eggs only when the idiots are out of power.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How much do eggs cost at the moment?

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 1 points 1 day ago

South East on March 4th. Don't know if they've come down since then. Others reports seem lower than this.

I fucking hate living in the US. It's embarrassing.

Get bent, United States!

Time to educate Trump in the fine art of export tariffs.

A simple "Fuck off America" would suffice
