The US, grappling with an egg shortage, is reaching out to Lithuania for egg exports after Finland declined. The situation has prompted ridicule online.

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.
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.
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 find it hilarious. I find it pathetic and sad.
Its all stupid. We need to crash and start over.
No, that’s what some of them want to do. Start over, unregulated and without the rule of law or protections of society, as it now stands. We shouldn’t burn it down. They should face consequences for their attempts to regreas.
It takes so much effort and blood to build up a safe and free democracy.
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.
