“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.
This is a joke right? Something from the Onion? Why would any country help out Trump now?
Friends! Canadians! Countries of unfamiliar spellings! Lend me your eggs!
I thought the US didn’t need anything from anyone else? Isn’t that what you said?
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.
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.
“You will become part of the US.”
two days later…
“Bro my egg prices are high, can you help a brotha out?”
Oh, we can all egg you.
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
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.
“On this trade war that HE started…”
Ok… but then it’d be truth for once 😅
Get bent, United States!
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
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.
charge us more, seriously
Time to educate Trump in the fine art of export tariffs.
European nations, please say that you will export eggs only when the idiots are out of power.
As a true American, don’t help us with eggs, it’l hurt your country in the long run. Let us suffer so we can get our heads out of our asses and purge the nazis.
