USA asks Denmark for help in the egg crisis | Sweden Herald

I doubt it but Schengen would be nice with them.

I genuinely wonder if California would qualify.

Only if California joins the EU, too.

California would probably agree to being part of Denmark as well. Let's do this!

Brilliant


People from Greenland would surely accept to exchange their land with California.

Perhaps some money

Pardon?

*these are trying eggs

And tell them to thank you

These are trying times.

Should meet with the US delegation dressed as an egg, refuse to collaborate and just devolve into chicken noises imo o7

They should meet with a US delegation to negotiate, and give them one single egg.

THAT ONE EGG WAS FORTY EGGS?

Ah sorry. USA- eggs in fridge. Denmark - eggs in fridge.

I don't think it's EU-wide

In Germany, they aren't refrigerated either. I think this is an EU wide thing.

American regulations require eggs to be washed, which destroys their natural barrier against germs.

American eggs are required by regulations to be washed. This includes wholesale.

European egg producers are not going to invest in washing machines for a temporary market.

America needs to either accept a breach of their own regulations and wash the eggs themselves, or offer a price that makes it worthwhile for the European producers to follow American regulations.

Overall, with potential tariffs and additional cost for transport and washing, it seems like a bad solution. It would probably be easier for US to produce more eggs themselves.

What do you mean? They have to many nutrients and good stuff in them for the American stomach?

It's the US which washes them so I guess that could be done on import.

Says something about USA that both the eggs and chicken meat has to be chlorine washes before consumption, I wish I didn't think about it so often.

I've always heard that but our eggs in Denmark are all refrigerated in the stores

Pork, porn and booze.

I'm sure the boycott by Muslim majority countries you experienced a few years back hit those industries really hard.

:-D

Denmark has a quiet word with Novo Nordisk to, uh, 'modify' the appetite-suppressing efficacy of Ozempic/Wegovy, increasing demand for Danish eggs, butter cookies and bacon, and augmenting Denmark's bargaining position.

Also we havent culled nearly enough chickens to justify this magnitude of price increases and this is very clearly collusion from the ~4 major egg suppliers.

America's unstoppable thirst for short-term profit is why they currently have a corporate-backed fascist in office that is threatening to invade US's (supposed) allies to pillage their resources and economies.

Whether they do or not, the US as we have known it is in its death throes. They have surrendered nearly all of their soft power and made themselves a trade pariah. Entire industries are going to crumble as megacorps swoop in like vultures to devour the carcasses as the walls of their economy close in and the whole building collapses. It is in everyone's best interest to move their interests and money as far away from the US as possible.

In case you want to learn more about "big egg" Pluralistic: Eggflation is excuseflation

Because it's price gouging on top of the flu. Like price gouging and calling it inflation. Asking Denmark for eggs maintains the facade

By "Massachusetts" do you mean it's current borders or the original ones that we refer to as New England?

Hmm... maybe. I'm not sure if "key partner" is actually as special as it sounds, or if it's just puffery. It could be that a bunch of countries are "key partners" and it just happened to get mentioned in Panama's report because the writer couldn't think of something more specific to say. It would be more persuasive if we had the whole list of "key partners" and could show that the US is targeting all of them preferentially compared to countries with less cooperative status.

Yes, but it explains why Panama is a US target now

That was from before we decided to install a dictator and become a rogue state.

“ Panama is a key partner in the implementation and enforcement of sanctions on entities and individuals designated by U.S. and UN sanctions regimes, including sanctions relating to Cuba, Iran, Nicaragua, North Korea, Russia, Syria, and Venezuela.”

It very much is. Canada will be housing much of the human population in the Northwestern quadrant of Earth in a few decades. We really need to get our shit together and quash racism if we want humanity to survive.

I get some Lebensraum vibes from that

The northern areas are going to become more habitable

If the AMOC collapses they'll become significantly _less_ habitable, and that's looking more likely to happen by the year.

I have considered that USA would have to migrate North. To plan for it while denying that anything is wrong is true evil.

I think Trump wants control of trade routes (specifically, the Northwest Passage). That also explains why he's going after the Panama Canal at the same time.

Greenland houses some key NATO sites that monitor the arctic. These are mostly used to make sure Russia stays in Russia.

The other non-Russian factor that I don't see people discussing is climate change. The northern areas are going to become more habitable and having Greenland and Canada means the US population has somewhere to go. This is the motivation for a lot of things they aren't talking about because it is evil.

You can choose which evil is motivating them I believe it's both.

Is this similar to special brew?

Budweiser Budvar > Carlsberg > Budweiser (US)

Ah, the regular larger, from Carlsberg I always buy


The truth.

Budweiser Budvar > Carlsberg > Budweiser (US)

I'm guessing Greenland is our strategic position to begin enveloping Canada, then we can direct our attention East.

Sorry.

Also we have Carlsbad at home

ovi*

This would be gold

We need a volunteer to travel to Washington for negotiating a tremendous egg deal (the best in the world) only to throw a rotten (preferrably ostrich) egg into the orange turd's face during the press conference.

Who is that supposed to punish?

It’s always a distraction that gets the headline tbh isn’t it

A chicken suit.

And surrenders Solvang to the Danish crown.

Only if he wears a suit and says "thank you" to the Danish prime minister.

Perhaps he would be willing to offer a public apology and an agreement to step down?

Nah. Still no.

As always, the US think that the rest of the world is a big Walmart

"Gonna need six eggs. Oh, and a new territory to spread ~~democracy~~ freedom to."

Can't make this shit up.

*Hey Denmark we want Greenland and we will take it.* - The US

*Hey Denmark we also want eggs, please send some, OK?* - Also the US

Sure, have our eggs. There's a 700% export tariffs on eggs at the moment tho...

Sounds like just another distraction from meaningful issues, given that actual eggs from Canada and Mexico are being turned away.

This is classic America. I don't have evidence for this but I have to assume that a large part of why America is having a egg crisis and other nations aren't is because of the absolutely horrendous and unsanitary conditions of our factory farms. Rather than look around the world and see that better living conditions contribute to a higher quality product, better lives for the animals, and lowered risk of massive disease outbreaks (which could become a human pandemic by the way); we'd rather ship in perishable goods from countries who have already figured that out. Our insane thirst for quarterly earnings reports prevents us from even considering something that would be a long term sustainable solution because it would be ever so slightly more expensive up front

Trade offer

We receive: Eggs, Greenland

You receive:

Honestly leaders should bring trump eggs when they visit the white house. And always start with my mother's heard you have problems getting eggs so she insisted I bring a half dozen.😜

Guys please don’t give them any eggs lol

!Image

So they want Greenland AND eggs?

Whats next? B&O? Volbeat? Carlsberg? (Although anyone that tried their pide known as budweiser know the won't be able to handle Carlsberg)

Denmark, please tell us "Fascist regime, go fuck yourself."

Also, why the fuck are eggs $9/dozen in some places, but I can go to Costco and get an 18 pack of free range eggs for $6?

Denmark should help by starting to throw eggs at the White House daily.

I wouldnt sell my eggs for anything less than Massachusetts.

We don't need more eggs. We're producing the exact same amount as always. The regulations that stop the monopoly from raising prices are no longer enforceable as the regulatory body is gone/understaffed/is under the control of said monopoly (or their cronies)

how'bout no.

how'bout FUCK the united states.

HOW'BOUT THAT.

actually, trade New England to denmark's ownership in exchange for the eggs. please. fucking please. get us out of here.

Besides all the other insane shit we've heard from USA in the last few months, and the Nord Stream pipelines sabotage, Danish eggs aren't exactly dirt cheap. Also, we're more known for our pork production.

I'm just glad that howtobasic isn't American.

!nottheonion@lemmy.world

Trump better not find out that some americans are unwilling to suffer for him.

Aren't the US and EU standards on how to produce and sell eggs so incompatible that it's illegal to import eggs from the EU into the US?

Hypocrisy level top hahahah

Denmark sees quantities being asked “how much food do you duckers eat?”. I hope they decline. (From a US citizen)

Don't help. Let MAGA eat shit
