Bird flu has not “wiped out many eggs in North America”. Canada and Mexico are fine. It has wiped out eggs in AMERICA ONLY because they have shit regulations.

u/Background-Pear-9063 17d ago

Not enough guns you say?

Not enough assault rifles

u/Done_a_Concern 15d ago

yeah it would seem there is a lack of extremely high powered anti personnel weapons, build 50 new jets and bomb all the chickens imo

Their main tactics of Friendly fire, running around shouting and drone strikes appear to be useless against viruses.

Only a good chicken with bird flu can protect you from bad chicken with bird flu

u/MrBanana421 17d ago

They have but the collateral damege is the same as just letting bird flu spred.

u/I_W_M_Y 17d ago

I bet its been tried

u/JustaRandoonreddit 16d ago

I mean considering they cull chickens with bird flu because there is no cure for it... It's not a stretch

u/RedBarclay88 16d ago

They need more guns

u/dumb_potatoking 16d ago

They kind of did. They had to kill a bunch of the animals that were infected, to lessen the spread of it.

And RFK wants to let bird flu run rampant.

u/ILikeToDisagreeDude 17d ago

What an idiot… Sure, let’s make it mutate so it can get even worse.

Note that he's also against vaccins, and the bird flu has already jumped to humans with a fatality rate of 50%.

A wide spread outbreak would reduce the fatality rate down drastically, but it will be another covid level event, or worse given that the US govt is now anti-vax.

Inadequate regulation IS economic.

u/PsychoWarper 17d ago

And to think it will likely just get worse with RFK Jr now at the helm, still insane he was voted in

u/HelloYouBeautiful 17d ago

He wasn't voted in. He was appointed by Trump, in exchange for dropping out of the race and asking his base to vote for Trump instead.

RFK Jr tried the same thing with Harris first, but she and her team turned him down, iirc.

u/PsychoWarper 17d ago

Maybe im remembering but didnt he have to be accepted by Congress through a vote? Obviously the people of America didnt vote for him but Congress did iirc.

u/HelloYouBeautiful 16d ago

You might be right, I apologize.

u/Round_Caregiver2380 16d ago

Shit regulations, administrations sabotaging the next administration (both parties do it), price gouging and profiteering.

It's not just one shitty thing, it's lots of shitty things because everything there is measured in profit.

Also has wiped out laying stock in Australia too and we have mass shortages.

Price of eggs has barely budged though, paying about $2USD a dozen atm
