Sorry, could not resist

[stand up comedian voice] Boy, these Republicans are really something, huh? You know, a lot of people just don't understand why the support the things they do, but the thing you gotta understand, whether you agree with them or not, they're a very principled group of people. You know, you might apply different approaches to different issues, but the Republicans, they apply the same principle whether we're talking about women's rights, or about global trade relations. Yeah. [Beat] Oh you all don't know what I'm talking about, lemme explain what the principle is:
FUCK YOU I HATE YOUR FUCKING GUTS I HOPE YOU DIE also, please let me control your eggs.
But at least the American oligarchs will get to pocket all that sweet sweet tariff money. Don't forget the stocks they shorted right before they tanked Wall Street. A government by billionaires, of billionaires and for the billionaires.
Every single day, I am convinced more and more that us Canadians need to resurrect Rum Running but with eggs. The fisheries are questionable due to tariffs. We have both eggs and nice boats plus a long stretch of border.
I have 15 dozen beauties right now, fresh, regenerative, free run, just at my house alone. The stock market is crashing but the egg market is rising.
The egg imports were not meant to reduce prices. That's not how that works, my friends. They were there because imports are/were competitive when local chickens die and there's a monopoly on the domestic industry that's already price gouging.
No way, these importers are doing it for the good of the country. They are helping make America great again.
$35 eggs per dozen!
I just got 18 for $7 so idk
So, this why Turkey was offered the F-35. I certainly hope the eggs are hit by the tariffs. What a fucking idiot!
lol, stupid fucking Americans.
The comedy of errors continues
Is it a comedy of errors, or is it intentionally tanking the economy so Russia and Musk can buy up the USA at a steal of a deal?
..... I'm not laughing.
I am. Need more popcorn.
I am, but it's only because I'm barely coping. Gotta laugh sometimes, since I'm crying the rest.
Pretty sure that's how The Joker lives, just before he attempts to blow up a bomb in downtown Gotham.
I guess you need to find a tall dark brooding man to emerge from the shadows and engage in fight sessions with predefined hard limits. Like Batman has a no guns rule. So Joker tries to edge him into breaking his own hard limit.
Yes, I DID just make Batman/Joker into a bdsm lovers couple. Because that's what it is. All the villains, and Batman are all just acting out kink scenes in public. Thats why they all wear masks. They all know each others identities. The masks are to hide from the public. Not each other.
Which brings me to the problematic side of Batman. There have been 5 different Robin's. All of whom were teenage boys when they adopted the roll. If it had only been one Robin, you could make the arguement that Batman saw something in him, and needed to mentor him.
But 5??? That's just grooming.

It'd be hilarious if egg imports into the US were blocked because of the global tariffs.
Not blocked, but they'll be subject to those very same tariffs. Unless Trumplon makes another eXeCuTiVe oRdEr
Countries could choose to put export bans on eggs, or less extreme place export taxes on them as part of their retaliation.

Great job US of 🤡
Geez this country is really obsessed with eggs. Almost like it's some kind of hard addiction.
At this point, I'm astonished no one has come up with some kind of synthetic egg that looks, acts, and tastes just like the real thing.
It appears a hen needs about 115g of feed a day to produce one 50g egg, so the product yield is less than half the input, plus all the other overhead like conditioned living space, water, antibiotics, lobbying for ag-gag laws against animal rights activists... I bet someone could come up with a more efficient way to make an egg. They could even call it something like "Aeg(TM)" which could have some cute marketing meaning.
Bob's Red Mill makes a powdered, shelf-stable egg substitute for baking purposes. I keep it on hand because I can't be arsed to keep real eggs in stock.
I've heard bananas and applesauce are also egg alternatives for baking, probably just for confectionary dishes, though.
Also aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas and such) can be used as a substitute I believe.
Yes, we use it a lot. Works almost as well

That's surprisingly efficient.
Well, it's dry feed and a wet egg. But yes, chickens are on the more efficient side of animal farming.
Still cruel though

They are (well, were) a cheap source of protein. Beans 🫘 are too but... well... you know!? 🌬️
I eat legumes every day and the side effects stop after doing that for a short while.
Good to know!:-)
