    Every single day, I am convinced more and more that us Canadians need to resurrect Rum Running but with eggs. The fisheries are questionable due to tariffs. We have both eggs and nice boats plus a long stretch of border.

    I have 15 dozen beauties right now, fresh, regenerative, free run, just at my house alone. The stock market is crashing but the egg market is rising.

    The egg imports were not meant to reduce prices. That’s not how that works, my friends. They were there because imports are/were competitive when local chickens die and there’s a monopoly on the domestic industry that’s already price gouging.

      No way, these importers are doing it for the good of the country. They are helping make America great again.

    But at least the American oligarchs will get to pocket all that sweet sweet tariff money. Don’t forget the stocks they shorted right before they tanked Wall Street. A government by billionaires, of billionaires and for the billionaires.

    [stand up comedian voice] Boy, these Republicans are really something, huh? You know, a lot of people just don’t understand why the support the things they do, but the thing you gotta understand, whether you agree with them or not, they’re a very principled group of people. You know, you might apply different approaches to different issues, but the Republicans, they apply the same principle whether we’re talking about women’s rights, or about global trade relations. Yeah. [Beat] Oh you all don’t know what I’m talking about, lemme explain what the principle is:

    FUCK YOU I HATE YOUR FUCKING GUTS I HOPE YOU DIE also, please let me control your eggs.

    So, this why Turkey was offered the F-35. I certainly hope the eggs are hit by the tariffs. What a fucking idiot!

      Is it a comedy of errors, or is it intentionally tanking the economy so Russia and Musk can buy up the USA at a steal of a deal?

        A Shakespearean comedy is just a play about regular people. His dramas were about the nobility.

        I am, but it’s only because I’m barely coping. Gotta laugh sometimes, since I’m crying the rest.

          Pretty sure that’s how The Joker lives, just before he attempts to blow up a bomb in downtown Gotham.

          I guess you need to find a tall dark brooding man to emerge from the shadows and engage in fight sessions with predefined hard limits. Like Batman has a no guns rule. So Joker tries to edge him into breaking his own hard limit.

          Yes, I DID just make Batman/Joker into a bdsm lovers couple. Because that’s what it is. All the villains, and Batman are all just acting out kink scenes in public. Thats why they all wear masks. They all know each others identities. The masks are to hide from the public. Not each other.

          Which brings me to the problematic side of Batman. There have been 5 different Robin’s. All of whom were teenage boys when they adopted the roll. If it had only been one Robin, you could make the arguement that Batman saw something in him, and needed to mentor him.

          But 5??? That’s just grooming.

    It’d be hilarious if egg imports into the US were blocked because of the global tariffs.
