Isn't easier to just... stop buying eggs?
Won't the prices come down if people, you know, stop pushing demand for them?
Seriously not a bad time to consider vegetarianism or veganism.
You say that like we don't import a fuck ton of our produce from Mexico.
Everything is about to get way more expensive.
This is why backyard and community gardens are about to get a whole lot more important. A few of us have been trying to convince my job to set one up and I'm hoping tariffs are the push we need to get it done.

But eggs are vegetarian. Avoiding meat is easy, but eggs are in a ton of recipes and not all of them work with egg substitutes
Which ones? I've yet to encounter a recipe with eggs where I couldn't satisfyingly sub in tofu, mung bean liquid (Such as Just Egg) or starch+tapioca replacer (Such as this) depending on the egg preparation.
Tofu is good for scrambles.
Mung bean is good for frying.
Stratch+tapioca is for baking.
That's not how the modern American thinks, we're so used to things just being always available in mass quantities, we've all but forgotten shortages happen and life requires problem solving. Look at what happened with the toliet paper thing, you can easily just use/wash a cloth (obviously not ideal, I'd recommend a bidet first and foremost) but your average American would rather rally at Costco and get into a fist fight over their precious rolls because they can't comprehend or cope with adaptation, lol.
