In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.
“I’m sorry about this problem. This is a setback in the government’s work,” Putin said on December 14. “I promise that the situation will be corrected in the near future.”
Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!
Look, it isn’t hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don’t know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)
I … On the one hand I’m pretty sure humans are considered animals, on the other hand, if vegans can’t eat anything or buy any product that was made using the exploitation of animals including humans that… Pretty much rules out everything purchased under capitalism and most other systems too.
What the absolute ever loving fuck? Sending hundreds of thousands of his own people to a meat grinder he can stop right now, but eggs he can apologize for?
It’s something that affects average Russian people.
Don’t you remember when Americans were bitching about the price of eggs a few years ago? Basic ingredients are like gas. People notice when they go up in price.
People dying in a war are to make Russia great and defend itself from the outside world. Or something like that and anyway who gives a fuck when it’s not you and just some other random Russian who’s probably a criminal anyway.
But eggs fuck that affects me and shows how shit the country is. Now that’s a serious issue!
I don’t get it - he funds American conservative politicians who have no trouble saying people shouldn’t rely on the government to solve their problems. Why not just say the same thing here? Especially since he can throw anybody who complains out the nearest window.
"Before, I used to buy eggs for 70 rubles ($0.78) a dozen. Now they cost between 130 and 140 rubles ($1.45 to $1.56)—twice as much," Ilia Zaroubine, a 21-year-old student, said.
I realize that it's probably a greater percentage of total wages, but by US standards, that's still dirt cheap.
I feel old seeing to many variations on egg volumes. When I was a boy the tray had 36 and you could fill a half dozen carton or two hals dozens stuck together.
They stack better than boxes, so it makes sense to transport them that way for restaurants and other kitchens.
I haven’t seen the 30 trays in retail stores in several years. I guess most people don’t need 30 eggs at a time or it’s difficult to transport unwrapped
