I personally find it hilarious that they would rather beg than enact the regulations necessary to prevent the problem from happening in the first place
Dismantling safety nets, regulation and government involvement in general, while encouraging rampant capitalism appears to be their main goal here. Are these politicians trying to make Cyberpunk a reality? It seems to be working.
Seems like the only thing they're trying to make happen is to end America's status as a superpower and line their own pockets for as long as possible
They don't seem to know or care what the consequences are
If another country wanted to shift the balance of power, this is exactly what they would want USA to do. If you can’t beat them in war, you have to play the long game and start dismantling your enemy from the inside.
You joke, but yes. That's exactly their hope
I like to discuss heavier topics in this semi-humorous manner. Sort of like a joke, but still kinda serious.
That would require a basic level of intelligence and self awareness.
The egg prices where I'm at in the US aren't even that bad. I was just at the store and saw a dozen of the fanciest extra-large pasture-raised, organic-fed eggs were $7.99, and the cheap eggs were $4.35. Is it worse other places?
Same here, initially anyways.
Ours were the usual price while people were saying theirs we 7 or 8 dollars
Today ours were over $6
What was the usual price? I obviously have not been paying attention until recently 😂
Ours had been a steady $2.83 at Aldi
I remember when they sold for $0.98 at Aldi 🥲
I suspect that's the point, this admin is being told to do things that will further humiliate the US on the world stage and further erode the respect the US (no longer) gets.
I know trump doesn't know world history.
But helping Russia and asking Lithuania for help are mutually exclusive options.
Are we Great again? This seems like an alpha move. I think we're great again.
/s
Takes a every entitled, narcissistic mind set to shit all over your neighbor's car and porch, threaten them with violence and then ask them for a few eggs to help then through their trying times.
The "find out" part of fuck around is already right there, yet most US citizens seem unaware that this is the "find out" stage of how they handled poultry for decades now.
RFK now wants all chickens to get bird flu, because his worm told him so and what could possibly go wrong?
What a pathetic loser move
Egg shortage or you mean egg exploitation?
Missed opportunity for eggsploitation, do better.
My bad this is my porn account after all.
I’ll let it slide cuz I like the name, it’s like looking in a mirror!

Very eggciting
We are dozens!
A slight step up from trumps usual door to door scamming
As an American don’t give us eggs we don’t deserve them
US deserve this meme
Don't do it Lithuani, we don't deserve it
How each and every single world leader should be responding to requests from the current administration.
Fuck it, just don't eat eggs.
This request has strong "Have you seen my stapler?" vibes.
I was told… I could beg for eggs… at a reasonable volume.
Come on how long is it from egg to chicken before it's chicken to egg. You stupid fucking Americans are getting taken advantage of.
4.5 months to start laying eggs and about 20 million chickens culled year to date since this map from February.

I think it's a few weeks or so. The problem is that enough flock purges happened over the last while, that it will take several generations to get the numbers back to where they were.
With Bobby Brainworm in charge of food safety, I’m sure we’ll be eating beached whale carcasses in no time.
