I never thought about this before, but should we eat eggs every day?
Should we share?

All of my life, eggs have been plentiful and cheap.  I like eggs and
most days have two for breakfast.  The bird flu has caused millions of
chickens to be destroyed, this eggs are in short supply.  Of course,
supply and demand had driven up the price.  I went to BJs and bought my
usual xtra lg eggs, two packs of 18.  Been buying them like that for
many years.  36 eggs at a time.  Not long ago, they were about $^, then
$8.50, then $12, and today, $18 or 50 cents an egg.

Sure, I can afford them, but should I keep up

consumption or reduce?

    Your imported/exported egg trade is chiefly with
Canada, EU, UK and China.

Better eat more American  eggs to support your US

Ed was joking.  Again.

    I wasn't.

We Americans live in an imaginary world.  While that's not true, some aspects are like a bad dream.  Today we're having lunch at our favorite restaurant.  It'll probably be one of the ones that are closing for a week in solidarity with the undocumented folks who are being rounded up.   I told my wife that if the jack-booted immigration thugs show up, that I'm going to point and say, "Look everybody!  Nazis!"  Then ask them, "How does it feel to be evil?"  Heck, the pricks couldn't do anything to me because *Soy ciudadano Americano*.
