And that’s basically it!
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.
There could be an egg-emption.
Sorry, could not resist
Edit. Spelling
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.
$35 eggs per dozen!
I just got 18 for $7 so idk
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.
A Shakespearean comedy is just a play about regular people. His dramas were about the nobility.
I am, but it's only because I'm barely coping. Gotta laugh sometimes, since I'm crying the rest.
We don't need more eggs
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
Remember when Obama was a dictator for using executive orders?
Republicans don't, but we do.
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 🤡
So, this why Turkey was offered the F-35. I certainly hope the eggs are hit by the tariffs. What a fucking idiot!
