“The United States has reached out to Denmark…”

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

    Oh, so now the US has pivoted to strongman style diplomacy where you rattle your sabre and then ask for concessions? I’ve bought a fresh carton of eggs last week, Orange Felon and his tech bro boyfriend can have them projectile delivered straight to their stupid mugs.

      Actually I would send them ONE egg, so that they can suck on it.

      Why then? It’ll just be another corrupt warmonger. Might call themselves a democrat but in the end they still serve evil.

    The eggs aren’t even that much more expensive to produce. The hit has only been about 2%. There’s still plenty of eggs. And it’s the same with getting free range eggs instead of battery/cage - the increase in production price is pretty small, really.

    It comes down to the same thing: the market charging premiums. They charge more for free range because it’s ‘luxury’. They charge more for organic because it’s ‘lifestyle’. And they charge more for eggs during US strife because it’s ‘supply and demand’.

    They have the supply. They also have an excuse, and nobody is regulating them. The country doesn’t need to buy eggs en masse, it needs to regulate pricing.

      They actually don’t have the supply. The USA is short tens of millions of eggs because of all the hens they had to slaughter due to bird flu. Which RFK probably doesn’t think is real.

        This is the danger. The conspiracy crowd is already denying bird flu. The culls are evidence of government conspiracy to force us to eat da bugs/fake meat.

        We’re going to hit a pandemic which our government will pretend does not exist. The narrative has already been hammered out on Facebook for them.

    Good thing we’ve got so many international allies and are known for being such a stable, reliable economic partner. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I haven’t read the news in two months and I need to catch up on current events.

      Well, in those two months the USA has made new enemies by insulting and threatening with invade his own allies. Worst, the USA started an economic war against his allies for no reason.

      So no, now we are not willing to help.

    I’ve got a whole sack of eggs I’m selling for cheap, but you gotta extract them yourselves. In fact, I’ll even pay you, but then you gotta go after. Don’t hang around after.
