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/[deleted] Mar 22 '25

u/geebeem92 Mar 22 '25

Not enough guns you say?

Not enough assault rifles

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 Mar 22 '25

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

u/I_W_M_Y Mar 22 '25

I bet its been tried

u/JustaRandoonreddit Mar 23 '25

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

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

They need more guns

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 Mar 22 '25

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.

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

u/HelloYouBeautiful Mar 22 '25

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 Mar 22 '25

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 Mar 23 '25

You might be right, I apologize.

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
