Nobody should send us eggs. Nobody should give us anything, given the government we have now

Orangeboi wants transactional, so give him transactional. Hold the US state department over the barrel as long as you can. Hold our feet to the fire. Make the negotiations as torturous and hostile as possible. Squeeze us until you see blood. Get absolutely everything you can out of any “deal” you make with us - it’s the “art of the deal”, after all.

There are huge swaths of Americans and political leadership that now really need to find out, because they’ve been fucking around and ruining things for far too long.

This is what happens when you burn all your bridges. I'm American myself and to be brutally honest, I hope most of the free world will continue to refuse requests to export to us.

Every country should refuse to send eggs to the US.

The only way I would consider it would be if there was a US wide broadcast where the world leader that gives them some has a low-level staffer ask JD Vance if he is going to “say thank you even once”. Trump needs to then tell JD that he has to say thank you because “we don’t have the cards. With them, we start to have cards”.

If they won’t say that on television, put export tariffs on eggs to the US at 500%.

It has to be 500% because 3 times the current price of eggs in Canada is about what they are selling for in the US already.

WW3 will be caused by shortage of eggs in US and they will invade every country and will take all eggs and hens. Mark my words

"Okay, but you have to become the 20th province of Finland."

I'm sure the Finns aren't exactly keen to take a price hike on eggs to meet a hostile country's needs.

How about we introduce export tariffs on eggs instead.

i am fully in support of them not selling us eggs.

If only there were regulations that kept these diseases at bay. Certainly our corporate farms will always spend the money and effort to prevent things themselves though.

Egg prices aren’t high solely because of bird flu. They’re high because of regional monopolies and a price fixing cartel. The largest egg producers are seeing record profits.

I hope it’s clear that I’m not saying bird flu doesn’t exist or affect prices. I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist. But if I had to guess, I’d say it’s 10% bird flu and 90% companies raising prices in unison because they can blame bird flu. If it were just bird flu, the companies would be losing money.

NB: it feels very weird to call them “egg producers” because hens are the actual egg producers. Egg distributors, maybe? In any case, the distributors are doing fine and their only competition in most regions are small, organic farms whose eggs were already $7 a dozen. It’s just the low end of the market that’s gone crazy.

Seems strange to give eggs to a country who talks of just taking over countries left and right.

Maybe rotten eggs would be more suitable.

Every country should avoid doing business with Trump’s regime because he will screw you over either way.

Did you say thanks ? No? Go lay your own...

trump is going to tariff finland now because "wahh"

Eggs are now caught being trafficked into the US at higher rates than fentanyl.

Good.

wonder if rapey mc rapist and techno nazi along with their gaggle of dip shit losers invested in poultry and eggs before this.

i mean its not uncommon for rich assholes and their corporate entities to heavily invest in things they know are about skyrocket in price or short smaller out circle businesses they know wont make it if the market craches, especially if they get to control the "soft landing"

even during a recession its possible to make a pyramid sized pile of cash if you bet on the right failure, even more so if you can fix the bet in the first place by forcing its price down.

they literally made a whole movie about this about the 2008 financial crisis.

you may not see it on paper right now, but that doesnt mean corpos arent sifting cash into secret accounts, either directly or on their behalf.

This egg trade is insane, not a single euro country could help USA here simply because the us has a 340m+ population and that being said, it would take the entire eu support/ supply in order to meet the demand of the USA

Has anyone offered to sell us eggs at exorbitant prices? Cuz that would be funny as hell.
