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

Sure, have our eggs. There’s a 700% export tariffs on eggs at the moment tho…

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

Sounds like just another distraction from meaningful issues, given that actual eggs from Canada and Mexico are being turned away.
