    to contextualise : eggs aren’t just food, they could also contain various animals that could distrupt the ecosystem, hence why they were smuggled before, why border cops are looking for them, etc.

      But, most of them are just food, because we would never have this uptick in smuggling otherwise.

      And we’re signaling border officials to throw away all of that food, as if we didn’t waste enough food in this county.

    Because people don’t realize that there are restrictions on eggs, and they’re cheaper in neighboring nations.

    How about works of art painted in fentanyl laced gelatin paint?

    Just giving you all a hint lol. You could paint an entire car in that.

    Why didn’t their orange shit stain make eggs cheaper like they claimed they voted for so they can avoid admitting they’re racist and sexist
