But… we don’t have an egg shortage. We have an egg price surplus. More eggs aren’t going to help. We need to stop appeasing the shareholders over the consumers.

I thought it all started with the bird flu…? Meaning there is a shortage of flu free eggs.

If we could somehow vaccinate chickens, I wonder what the anti vaxxers would say. On the one hand they would be eating “potentially mutated and unsafe eggs” on the other hand they would be able to afford eggs.

There actually are vaccines for chickens that protects against Bird flu with multiple in development. However they are nog mass produced yet and currently only small trials are staking place where they vaccinate all or part of the chickens on a single farm. Information about two of the vaccines van be found at https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-regulatory-overview/public-health-threats/avian-influenza-bird-flu

Rofl no. Supply is kept artificially low to maintain prices. The global capitalist greed diseased oligarchs got bored with supply and demand a long time ago. Doesn’t metastasize their quarterly earnings fast enough.

OPEC and DeBeers don’t even do it in shadows.

You’re thinking of the doe eyed days when capitalism was giving you it’s talking points in grade school, deluding you. We’re in the terminal stage, all that mickey mouse bullshit of supply and demand, capitalism breeds competition, and participation is optional have been shown for the confidence scheme sales pitch to suckers that they are.

At least to everyone but Americans, who’ve been so propagandized against anything that isn’t toxic individualism most of us couldn’t define socialism with a library card and a gun to our heads.
