Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Meanwhile, the egg department in my grocery store is absolutely full not a single carton sold.
Nobody's paying eight bucks for a carton they can rot.
Meanwhile I bought a pack of chicken breasts at 267 a pound which is the normal price.
There's no shortage of chickens, there's no shortage of eggs
Capitalism artificially creates scarcity (or the illusion of scarcity) to generate capital.
Price collusion and greed
I'm not suggesting that corporations aren't inflating prices, but your chicken breasts come from birds which are slaughtered pretty young, as opposed to egg layers so there is a much larger window to be infected.
HPAI A(H5) or A(H7) virus infections can cause disease that affects multiple internal organs with mortality up to 90% to 100% in chickens, often within 48 hours.
They're not that young :)
If there were any empty shelves, I'd buy it. I should have taken a picture. Nobody is buying any eggs. The price should have ridden that wave, there should be almost no eggs on the shelf, priced at the maximum that pushes product without quite selling out.
There were thousands of eggs there.
In covid we ran out of toilet paper, it wasn't 8x the price on the shelf. Those eggs on the shelves are weeks old now.
If eggs are $8 a pack (I'm assuming that's a pack of six), then there is no way that imports would be any better even if they weren't tariffed. The average price of eggs in the UK comes out at the equivalent of around $1-3 per pack of 6, so unless you can internationally ship them for $4 or less, it's not going to make any difference.

European nations, please say that you will export eggs only when the idiots are out of power.
Is this some kind of sick joke?? Get fucked.
Get bent, United States!
Oh? I was under the impression you didn't need us lesser and grifter nations? That we took you for a ride?
Hm... I propose a fair trade - you might even call it "the best deal ever". Our eggs, for your cards.
Wait, I forgot. Your cards lost their value recently, as they couldn't do shit for Ukraine against our common enemy.
Oh, we can all egg you.
Hi, please don't. Let us suffer so these fuckers can hurt more. - Californian
Time to educate Trump in the fine art of export tariffs.
charge us more, seriously
Iraq: has oil
Murca: we declare a freedom on you!
Canada: has oil
Murca: we declare a freedom on you!
Denmark: has eggs
Murca: we declare a freedom on you!
I fucking hate living in the US. It's embarrassing.
A simple "Fuck off America" would suffice
Americas chickens coming home to roost
They did that on 9-11. Out of a plane full of Saudis and two Iraqis, look how that is still turning out.
Get on your knees and beg, donny.
And don't you dare to forget wear a very nice suit and say thank you to everyone you see.
only if you kick russia out of Ukraine.
I propose a deal. It could be known as the best deal ever! The US ramps up support of Ukraine, so they can finally beat Russia and get peace. Then invite Ukraine into NATO. This also forms a buffer for Europe against Russia. Then Europe will send you all the eggs you need, for free.
