I’m sure this is going over well after all of the threats of tariffs the Neo-Nazi-salute giving Republicans have given.
No egg problem here. But we hopefully don’t create one by exporting valuable eggs to the US.
Us strategy, punch your neighbour in the face then ask to borrow an egg
Brilliant strategy
Yes, Germans should absolutely deliver lots of extra eggs, personally and ballistically, direct to the White House…
OK, but only the leftover ones past the due date.
Now I really want Germany to send a plane and egg the white house or the statue of liberty or any landmark for that matter. Or all…
I prefer the term “pineapples”, but I guess “eggs” is a good code word for the time being.
I do literally mean eggs. I abhor violence, but not petty vandalism
After they’ve been sitting on a windowsill for a few weeks
One thing I’ve been worried about with this egg shortage: aren’t they still a major factor in the production of common vaccines?
Like, doesn’t the US hold a strategic reserve of millions of eggs to be able to ramp up vaccine production when needed? Is that system still safe?
Eggcellent question. But with an antivaxxer running health, you probably won’t need eggs anymore for that.
Is it even possible to export a significant amount of eggs over the ocean?
Crack eggs, pasteurize them, and pack them in canisters. They keep for ages. Use those for making industrial products instead of cracking local eggs.
Yes. You can keep eggs for weeks, and airplanes make the trip in a few hours.
Is it even commercially viable to export a significant amount of eggs over the ocean?
At the rates Americans are paying right now, maybe.
That’s the kind of question that is very pertinent in normal times, but that we have no idea what the answer will be tomorrow.
Normally, no, eggs “never” have such a bad distribution and people so willing into getting them that it’s worth crossing an ocean by plane to get them.
Americans wash the protective layer off of eggs and so they go bad more quickly.
Are they going to wash those eggs like we do? Logistically makes no sense…
Context, and no, we don’t wash our eggs.
I mean…it does with H5N1 running around now.
