US egg imports meant to drive prices down could be hit by tariffs

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.

There could be an egg-emption.

Sorry, could not resist

Edit. Spelling

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.

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.

[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.

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, but it's only because I'm barely coping. Gotta laugh sometimes, since I'm crying the rest.
- A Shakespearean comedy is just a play about regular people. His dramas were about the nobility.
- I am. Need more popcorn.
- Some of the best comedies are very hard to laugh at.

lol, stupid fucking Americans.

Great job US of 🤡

$35 eggs per dozen!

I just got 18 for $7 so idk

We don't need more eggs

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.

That's surprisingly efficient.
- Not only that, they also reduce organic waste, they help keep some pests at bay and they fertilize the soil for you
  
  The little town of Limburg, Belgium offered 3 chickens to 2,000 households as an experiment in 2010 to cut down on household waste. Belgian officials have reported that the chickens are a huge success, organic waste has been cut in half and the families have gained a supply of free, fresh eggs.
  
  We should be bringing back keeping animals at home, chickens for sure at least, ducks are loud cunts.
  
  Then someone should open a business that butchers the chicken for you, so you don't have to get your hands dirty even.
  
  i grew up in post soviet era central europe, collecting all the vegetable scraps and even eggshels onto a bowl while cooking then taking it out back and giving it to chickens was the norm.
- Well, it's dry feed and a wet egg. But yes, chickens are on the more efficient side of animal farming.
  
  Still cruel though
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.
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.
- I love me some Costa Rican-style beans and rice. It'll be interesting to see what people will consume in lieu of eggs, should the price become prohibitive long-term.
- Beans have always been magnitudes cheaper.
this country is really obsessed with eggs

I was thinking about this myself. I think it's a breakfast staple even more than in other countries, and in larger quantities. And for many people it might be the most affordable source of animal protein? Until recently, that is.
- Eggs aren't important because they're eaten directly, as much as they are as an ingredient. They are used in all kinds of doughs (think breads, crusts, pastries, buns, etc...). They're also half of mayonnaise, which again, is used in a lot of things
- Fortunately people dont need animal protein at all. Plant protein is cheaper and better for the climate. Always has been
There's loads of them, is this a joke?
- There's a product that's shaped like an egg, cracks like an egg, boils like an egg, fries like an egg? I haven't heard of it. I've only heard of stuff like Just Egg, which is a scramble analog...analegg...wait, I think that's something else...
Egg beaters liquid egg substitute has been around for ages and there's even a plant based one now. Nothing in the way of something not scrambled though.
JUST egg
- Have you tried these? If so, are they any good?
  
  The real problem that needs to be solved for the true veggie-egg takeover is a runny yolk.
Elon Musk: "XEGG"

(the 'X' makes it Extra Cool)
- Yup, XAig. As a bonus, it'd implant the necessary biostructures for a Neuralink system installation.

🎶 we're morons! 🎶

So, this why Turkey was offered the F-35. I certainly hope the eggs are hit by the tariffs. What a fucking idiot!
