Nah. Still no.

Only if he wears a suit and says “thank you” to the Danish prime minister.
As always, the US think that the rest of the world is a big Walmart

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

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.

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
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.

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

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

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.😜

They should meet with a US delegation to negotiate, and give them one single egg.
- casmael@lemm.eeEnglish1 year
Should meet with the US delegation dressed as an egg, refuse to collaborate and just devolve into chicken noises imo o7
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)
Budweiser Budvar > Carlsberg > Budweiser (US)
Ah, the regular larger, from Carlsberg I always buy

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

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.

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.

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 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.

“ 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.”
- grue@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
That was from before we decided to install a dictator and become a rogue state.
- 1 year
Yes, but it explains why Panama is a US target now
- grue@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
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.

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?
- RedditWanderer@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
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?
- Starb3an@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
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)
- Cyrus Draegur@lemm.eeEnglish1 year
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.
- CAVOK@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
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
