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)

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

I'm just glad that howtobasic isn't American.
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.π
Denmark should help by starting to throw eggs at the White House daily.
Trade offer
We receive: Eggs, Greenland
You receive:
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!
Only if California joins the EU, too.
I genuinely wonder if California would qualify.
I doubt it but Schengen would be nice with them.
Perhaps some money
Trump better not find out that some americans are unwilling to suffer for him.
Guys please donβt give them any eggs lol
THAT ONE EGG WAS FORTY EGGS?
They should meet with a US delegation to negotiate, and give them one single egg.
Should meet with the US delegation dressed as an egg, refuse to collaborate and just devolve into chicken noises imo o7
And tell them to thank you
These are trying times.
*these are trying eggs
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?
I've always heard that but our eggs in Denmark are all refrigerated in the stores
In Germany, they aren't refrigerated either. I think this is an EU wide thing.
What do you mean? They have to many nutrients and good stuff in them for the American stomach?
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.
It's the US which washes them so I guess that could be done on import.
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.
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 sees quantities being asked βhow much food do you duckers eat?β. I hope they decline. (From a US citizen)
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.
