Summary

The Trump administration’s effort to import eggs to offset losses from bird flu is struggling due to logistical challenges and global supply constraints.

Many countries, including Turkey, are prioritizing domestic supply and imposing export taxes.

Experts warn that replacing U.S. egg production with imports is unrealistic, as the industry operates on a local scale.

To meet demand, the U.S. would need 70 to 100 million eggs in the next month, a goal analysts say is nearly impossible to achieve quickly.

      Maybe Marx was wrong, maybe eggs are the opiate of the masses and maybe Trump truly bungling this fucking clown show will spur action. Maybe not… but I’d hope so.
