The US, grappling with an egg shortage, is reaching out to Lithuania for egg exports after Finland declined. The situation has prompted ridicule online.
Has the US even said thank you?!
Tell us to take a long walk off a short pier, Lithuania!
Nah, the others must say thank you ;-)
In a not so funny note, egg prices in the U.S. are up 19,19% in February (month-on-month).
Why are we asking for this? Just let the flu work itself out, deal with our costs, and focus on domestic production. Eggs are getting thrown out still. And those imports won’t save anyone who’s actually starving.
I bet they’re asking only to be able to say “see? Nobody helps us. Why should we defend them?”
Surely it’s easier to import from land neighbours? Oh…you’ve pissed them off?
