    The US has asked Denmark to export eggs to help tackle America's ongoing shortage, caused by avian flu.

    More than 30 million laying hens have been culled this year due to outbreaks across the US, causing prices to nearly double in the year to January and soar beyond $8 (£6.18) a dozen by late February.

    But the timing of the request is awkward for the US, with Denmark among the countries feeling the sharp end of Donald Trump's tariff wars and the president sparking outrage in the country over his demands to acquire Danish territory Greenland.

    Just went to our local Whole Foods this morning. They had no eggs. Completely empty.

    I saw the same thing last week at a local Natural Grocers and Target.

    It’s like Trump’s covid theory, if there aren’t eggs to buy then there isn’t an issue with prices.

    :lol:

    Flash back to 1969, Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California.  A young man walking down the street and passes a very bedraggled street urchin peddling contraband who is mumbling, "Hash?  Acid? Grass?"  The young man looks away, and goes into a store to buy a dozen eggs.

    Flash forward to the present.  The young man is now old and is walking down that same avenue in Berkeley California.  A young entrepreneur in street style clothing is standing by a large plain box.  The old man walks by and as the young entrepreneur whispers, "Eggs.  Got Eeeeeeeeegs?"  The old man shakes his head "no" as he walks in to the local dispensary to select his weekly procurement of buds and purchases 14 grams each of Pineapple Express and Purple Kush.

    Out of curiosity what does egg cost in the US right now?

    In Sweden from looking at it ”freeroaming indoors” eggs are 12pc for 3,5 dollars


    Here are 12 for 2 dollars ”freeroaming hens indoors”


    $3.50 for 18 from a coworker who raises chickens.

    I can't take it anymore and really feel like I'm losing my grip on reality... every day another stroke of his pen or Muskrats minions delete a database and jobs lost, our health at risk(no EPA), and huge Healthcare research cuts. We are all expendable according to the demented one.

    You’d literally have to live abroad to not feel like you/we feel about the state of affairs! If you live here it’s impossible not to.

    The first time I clicked on your profile name it gave me a permission error, which means there is a setting where no one/certain people can view your profile, and you can’t message someone if you can’t view their profile.

    It's very hard to keep a balance between wanting to stay informed, and not wanting to loose one's grip on reality.  I hear you and you're in good company.  I too struggle with anxiety and I'm trying really hard not to let the monsters get to me that way.  It's what they want.  It's what they crave.  I don't want them to steal my energy that way.  
    What gives me hope is seeing the resistance build.  Anything you can do from attending rallies to making calls or sending letters to our representatives makes a difference, and it feels good to be involved, no matter in how small a way.  Our congressman McClintock is one of the more pro MAGA California congress person.  All the more reason I need to keep making those calls.  In a Democracy, we are an integral part of the government, so I make my voice heard where and when I can.
    But most importantly, know you are heard!  We stand united against tyranny.  
    By they way, it's very cool of Hugh to reached out to you.  He's a good dude and one of the first people here who's posts got me interested in posting on AMT.  
    I'm also happy to chat with you on messages if it helps.  Hang in there.  Let's persevere together.

    this has been my Whole Foods for the past month and a bit. Oddly our local has had solid supplies the whole time. Big brands and local* farms.



    * Local being within 2-3 hour drive.

    Also the prices have ranged from $5 to $12  per dozen, all on one shelf. Very weird.
