America's egg shortage worsens by the week. Supermarkets nationwide are running out of eggs as prices hyperinflate. Egg arbitrage is rising as people attempt to smuggle egg and poultry products across MexicoUS border for resale in the States where they can reap hefty profits.

US Customs and Border Protection reported a 108% increase in egg and poultry seizures at land ports on the border from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31. The uptick in egg smuggling comes as retail prices erupt in the US as the avian flu forced producers to cull tens of millions of birds and egg-laying hens over the last year.

100.00 pesos = USD 5.33 for a flat
3.80 pesos for six eggs = .20 cents USD

US egg prices have topped the national average gasoline per gallon price at the pump. As a result of the egg crisis, internet search trends on Google show Americans are panic searching where to find egg-laying hens for their backyard.

The search trend "where to buy chickens near me" erupted to a near multi-decade high. Besides the Covid spike, "how to raise chickens" has spiked to levels not seen in a decade.

Food price anxiety got you a little freaked out? Don't worry it's not just you. Develop your own hustle and quit depending on a system that is hauling ass over a cliff.

Good government.

Are these caused by eggpilepsy?

I'm about to buy a couple more hens from a neighbor that raises birds and sells eggs. We lost another hen I think to a hawk or yote, something big enough to completely carry it off after a quick kill ( haven't found feathers or signs of a struggle).

I eat a lot of eggs so it's worth the hassle of keeping some birds. Even moreso now. I started it as an early bored during CoVID project.

If only more of the chickens would have gotten vaxxed, imagine how many meemaw chickens would have been saved.

We're laying our own from now on.

How is it good government to keep the free market from working? We need eggs so we should want more eggs. Government is keeping us from getting more eggs. This is bad government, not good government.

Someone wasn't forced to read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle in high school to turn you into a good little New Dealer. Some regulation makes sense.

Say goodbye to Germany, the EU, and now the US?????

Government is keeping diseases from crossing our border and causing more damage to poultry flocks. Do you trust Mexico to send clean, disease-free products across our borders that are properly quarantined, inspected, or processed? Get it?

Good government.

Not what I expected to read when I clicked this... Was imagining eggs tripping balls or something

Earth friendly cardboard eggs with responsibly made organic chocolate.

O don't normally go into Whole Foods, but if I hadn't seen this when I was there Friday I would not have believed it.

Ideas and Consequences: Of Meat and Myth

Quote:

---

The Jungle was, first and foremost, a novel. It was intended to be a polemica diatribe, if you will and not a well-researched and dispassionate documentary. Sinclair relied heavily on both his own imagination and on the hearsay of others. He did not even pretend to have actually witnessed the horrendous conditions he ascribed to Chicago packinghouses, nor to have verified them, nor to have derived them from any official records.

Sinclair hoped the book would ignite a powerful socialist movement on behalf of America's workers.

Quote:

---

President Theodore Roosevelt wrote of Sinclair in a letter to William Allen White in July 1906, "I have an utter contempt for him. He is hysterical, unbalanced, and untruthful. Three-fourths of the things he said were absolute falsehoods. For some of the remainder there was only a basis of truth."

Lighten up, Francis, I'm probably on your side unless you've gone full retar- er, libertarian.

Government should get out of the way and let us import the cars we want to.

Examples of cars that gubbermint does not want us to have.

Toyota Landcruiser trucks like this:

Government should allow people to buy those if they want. As long as the consumer isn't deceived in what they are purchasing (aka fraud), and it doesn't put 3rd parties in danger.

I'm good with skipping eggs until prices improve.

How about all the other products you buy that have eggs, egg yolks and egg whites in them?
List of Foods That Contain Eggs

• Egg is found in mayonnaise, meringue, egg noodles and pasta, creamy salad dressings and sauces. Other examples of foods that have egg in the recipe include French toast, cream-filled pies, custard ice cream, pudding, sherbet and commercially prepared pancakes, cakes and brownies. Breads with a shiny glaze were brushed with egg before baking.
• Egg may appear on a label as albumin, globulin, lecithin, lysozyme, simplesse and vitellin. Food Ingredients labeled with "ova" -- such as ovalbumin, ovomucin, ovomucoid -- also indicate the presence of egg. Egg substitutes contain egg white

And this is just a short list.

FJB!

Brilliant 200 year strategy Santa Anna!
