"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.

Denmark, from who they want to steal Greenland. They are obviously terminally stupid in Washington.

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

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.

We'd be helping their industry recover from fuck ups, no thanks

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

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

[-] keys42@literature.cafe 11 points 1 day ago

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 :)

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 23 hours ago

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.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 14 hours ago

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.

Hold the line Denmark. Don't pull a fucking Australia. Fuck those guys.

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.

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

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

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.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 14 points 22 hours ago

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.

Iraq: has oil

Murca: we declare a freedom on you!

Canada: has oil

Murca: we declare a freedom on you!

Denmark: has eggs

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

[-] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago

Is this some kind of sick joke?? Get fucked.

charge us more, seriously

[-] hikuro93@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

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.

They did that on 9-11. Out of a plane full of Saudis and two Iraqis, look how that is still turning out.
