Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

To put "all your eggs in one basket" is from a time when people could afford multiple eggs. (sh.itjust.works)

I mean, the reason the US is having such a huge issue with eggs is because they basically put all their eggs in one basket. What I mean by this, is the reason bird flu affects the US much more than Canada, and Europe, is that they limit egg producing facilities to around 10k-30k hens, after that the industrial farm needs to build another, separated, facility for the hens beyond their regulated number. US industrial farms often have over 1mm in a single, massive, structure. This means that not only are they more vulnerable to getting it at all, but it facilitates rapid spreading. China, and other places, also have similar issues with bird flu, as the US, due to similar production practices.
