I’m just glad that howtobasic isn’t American.
Honestly leaders should bring trump eggs when they visit the white house. And always start with my mother’s heard you have problems getting eggs so she insisted I bring a half dozen.😜
Trade offer
We receive: Eggs, Greenland
You receive:
People from Greenland would surely accept to exchange their land with California.
Perhaps some money
Denmark should help by starting to throw eggs at the White House daily.
Guys please don’t give them any eggs lol
They should meet with a US delegation to negotiate, and give them one single egg.
And tell them to thank you
These are trying times.
This is classic America. I don’t have evidence for this but I have to assume that a large part of why America is having a egg crisis and other nations aren’t is because of the absolutely horrendous and unsanitary conditions of our factory farms. Rather than look around the world and see that better living conditions contribute to a higher quality product, better lives for the animals, and lowered risk of massive disease outbreaks (which could become a human pandemic by the way); we’d rather ship in perishable goods from countries who have already figured that out. Our insane thirst for quarterly earnings reports prevents us from even considering something that would be a long term sustainable solution because it would be ever so slightly more expensive up front
Also we havent culled nearly enough chickens to justify this magnitude of price increases and this is very clearly collusion from the ~4 major egg suppliers.
In case you want to learn more about “big egg” Pluralistic: Eggflation is excuseflation
Denmark, please tell us “Fascist regime, go fuck yourself.”
Also, why the fuck are eggs $9/dozen in some places, but I can go to Costco and get an 18 pack of free range eggs for $6?
Because it’s price gouging on top of the flu. Like price gouging and calling it inflation. Asking Denmark for eggs maintains the facade
Can’t make this shit up.
Hey Denmark we want Greenland and we will take it. - The US
Hey Denmark we also want eggs, please send some, OK? - Also the US
Perhaps he would be willing to offer a public apology and an agreement to step down?
Nah. Still no.
Only if he wears a suit and says “thank you” to the Danish prime minister.
A chicken suit.
Trump better not find out that some americans are unwilling to suffer for him.
Sure, have our eggs. There’s a 700% export tariffs on eggs at the moment tho…
They should take the moral high ground and refrain from adding tariffs.
On the other hand, the correct capitalist move is to raise the price when demand outstrips supply. $30 a dozen sounds fair for highly sought-after imported, organic, artisanal, delicately encapsulated Danish hen ovum. /s
ovi*
This would be gold
Besides all the other insane shit we’ve heard from USA in the last few months, and the Nord Stream pipelines sabotage, Danish eggs aren’t exactly dirt cheap. Also, we’re more known for our pork production.
Pork, porn and booze. I’m sure the boycott by Muslim majority countries you experienced a few years back hit those industries really hard.
:-D
Aren’t the US and EU standards on how to produce and sell eggs so incompatible that it’s illegal to import eggs from the EU into the US?
What do you mean? They have to many nutrients and good stuff in them for the American stomach?
American regulations require eggs to be washed, which destroys their natural barrier against germs.
It’s the US which washes them so I guess that could be done on import.
American eggs are required by regulations to be washed. This includes wholesale.
European egg producers are not going to invest in washing machines for a temporary market. America needs to either accept a breach of their own regulations and wash the eggs themselves, or offer a price that makes it worthwhile for the European producers to follow American regulations.
Overalt, with potential tariffs and additional cost for transport and washing, it seems like a bad solution. It would probably be easier for US to produce more eggs themselves.
Sounds like just another distraction from meaningful issues, given that actual eggs from Canada and Mexico are being turned away.
It’s always a distraction that gets the headline tbh isn’t it
Denmark sees quantities being asked “how much food do you duckers eat?”. I hope they decline. (From a US citizen)
