God forbid eggs get across the border. So glad Trump is stopping these monsters
I honestly don't understand the focus on eggs. It makes even less sense than toilet paper during COVID.
Look, I get that for some people eggs are a cheap source of protein. But you don't need eggs, and the cheapness also limits the possibility for profeteering.
So you smuggle some eggs across the boarder and sell them for double. How much have you actually made? I don't see the reward outweighing the risk here.
Americans has no obligation to make sense to anyone.
I was curious about that, and found this article:
https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/20250315219/why-america-is-obsessed-with-eggs
"Eggonomics" is rattling Americans. Eggs are now so valuable that they have been targeted by criminal gangs. Last month, 100,000 eggs worth $40,000 were stolen from a trailer in Pennsylvania. At current prices, that's roughly the equivalent to an American football's weight in gold.
This paragraph feels like an excerpt from a satirical dystopian fiction essay written by a middle schooler.
Thanks for the link. The basics of that article are eggs are nutritious, and people don't like when prices increase.
This article implies eggs are a litmus test for instability in every day life, but I'd argue the US should already at red alert and eggs are the last of their issues.
Stupid.
😂 you couldn't make this shit up!
Cartels are going to use eggs as a distraction while fentanyl and guns come pouring in. But at least they stopped the eggs from crossing! 😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Yet more proof that we are living in Bizarro World. Imagine travelling ten years back in time and trying to convince people this would happen.
When you’re looking for fentanyl but all you find is EGGS!
Gotta stop them poachers, I reckon.
