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.
[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.
Great job US of 🤡
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.
🎶 we’re morons! 🎶
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™” which could have some cute marketing meaning.

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
Vegan baking has come very far. If anyone is interested don’t try to veganize your favorite recipe, it’s easier to find new vegan recipes.
Also stay away from recipes that use healthier ingredients if you want tasty results, your recipe before wasn’t healthy either 😜
They’re also half of mayonnaise,
Shit, I’ve been making mayo wrong. I’m not a very good cook.
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.
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.
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.
We don’t need more eggs
So, this why Turkey was offered the F-35. I certainly hope the eggs are hit by the tariffs. What a fucking idiot!
