US authorities have turned to Europe for help with the country's severe egg shortage. The shortfall is due to bird flu, which has plagued the United States for several years.
The Finnish Poultry Association says it has been contacted about exporting eggs to the US. The organisation's executive director, Veera Lehtilä, told Yle on Saturday that exporting eggs does not seem to be possible at the moment because no market access negotiations have been held with US authorities. This can be a drawn-out process involving extensive inspections and studies.
According to the Danish magazine AgriWatch, the US has also requested eggs from Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands.
One of Sweden’s biggest egg producers, Kronägg, told the daily Aftonbladet that it is unlikely to export eggs to the US, saying it would be difficult due to various export restrictions. Meanwhile, there is also an egg shortage in Europe.
Eka laitetaa hirveet tullit ja muutenki törttöillää oikee olan takaa ja sit kerjätää munaa...
let it be known to the english-speaking audience that in finnish, the word for egg is also slang for penis. yes, everyone has been very hilarious about america begging europe for eggs. as they should.
They also asked Germany, and idk about our northern neighbours, but one of the reasons we don't have problems like this is that every single living chicken in Germany, including bio, tiny and backyard flocks, has to be vaccinated against both salmonella and chicken pest. The rules around bird flu are also much harsher.
These problems are self-made in the USian industry and directly related to the USian government's and public's unwillingness to support scientifically sound farming and food safety practices. And this is also the reason every time the US tries to broker free trade deals with European countries, there's mass protests over here.
Still occasionally think about that one post about how americans on the internet push back against anti US military rhetoric in a way they don't do with anti cop rhetoric because, unlike their police, the victims of the US military are mainly foreigners, and then some yank cunt decided to show up to do the standard you don't get it the military is made up of poverty-stricken uneducated kids who were fed propaganda :((((( etc etc shtick but also decided to go with "meanwhile the police can straight up murder you, steal your property and kill your dog with no consequences" like sorry friend what exactly do you think your military does.
Found it
Literally the perfect encapsulation of how americans legitimately don't conceptualize the violence and terror that the US military enacts as a real thing simply because they're used to thinking of the victims as faceless offscreen abstract masses.
Cops kill and steal. Meanwhile soldiers sign up and then the screen fades to black until they come back traumatized and missing a limb. That's all they do. They sign up and then come back broken, and whatever they did imbetween happened offscreen so it doesn't matter.
Also the absolute hilarity of "how often the police union and most rural police forces have been infiltrated by literal nazis" being listed as a difference between the police and the military.
Because as we know, "shooting guns at (mostly brown) foreigners" is not a career path that tends to be disproportionately attractive to a significant number of nazis. Not at all.

The good news: you get to pick your new soulmate! (You can define "soulmate" however you want: platonic/romantic/partners in crime/etc. But they will be in your life, constantly.)
The bad news: you don't get to pick where they come from.
Spin this wheel until you get a fandom with characters that you recognize. As soon as you do, stop. One of those people* is going to be a constant presence in your life, whether you like it or not. So choose wisely.
*broadly defined
For anyone who's needed a laugh/smile as much as I have lately, I give you this sweet little guy.
