Summary
Canada has avoided the severe egg shortages and soaring prices seen in the U.S. due to differences in farming practices and regulations.
While avian flu has devastated large American egg farms, Canada’s smaller farms and tightly sealed barns have limited the impact.
The U.S.’s industrialized egg industry, driven by cost efficiency, is vulnerable to supply shocks when outbreaks occur.
Canada’s supply management system ensures stable production and restricts imports, keeping farms smaller. Meanwhile, U.S. consumers face continued egg price surcharges and supply pressures.
In theory that could all sound very true.
But the investments need to pay themselves back, and setting up large agricultural production takes time to earn back the investment. So there are limits as to how short term you can invest.
This is probably the lowest denominator disease, where investments become more and more irresponsible, because of lack of regulation that set a lower bar for how irresponsible you can be.
Kind of the same as with the financial crisis almost 20 years ago, that caused an economic slump for 10 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if the egg market similarly will take a decade to return to normal.
the 1st thing that Trump did, in his 1st term, was remove the market-protective legislation that Obama had put in-place, to prevent a 2nd financial-crisis.
& with Trump & Putin working on dividing & butchering the Western world, there isn’t going to be any “status quo” from now on.
I expect Trump to declare outright war on Canada in less than 3y, & to see people die because Canada is going to be the “new Ukraine”.
Why?
Because IF Trump can possess both Canada & Greenland, THEN he & Putin can DESTROY the woke EU, together.
“take a decade to return to normal” is believing-in an economic-regime which is … in the process of falling out a window, same as protesters & dissidents do, in Russia.
10y from now, I believe both Putin & Trump will have fallen, but WW3 will be on, as they will have butchered the West sooo completely, that the rest of BRICS will be unable to let the opportunity just walk by, so they’ll simply launch everything against the butchered-West, & hope to win the war.
Actually, I expect that will be going on by 2032, so less than 10y…

It’s very hard for me to believe that could actually happen. Not that Trump wouldn’t do it, but hopefully he will be stopped before that. I’m pretty sure Trump is leading USA into economic decline, and that has always been the most sure thing to make a president unpopular. I don’t think Trump will have the support of the American people for much longer.
Right but if investment relies on regulation to be responsible, and removing such regulation leads to potentially higher profits… And if you’re able to collect profits on future expected returns today via asset markets… Then wouldn’t most try to get rid of such regulation? Most of those people 20 years ago made a killing following deregulation they lobbied for earlier.
This is true, but it’s 99% a misunderstood perception by the buyers, they generally fail to realize that they are buying in at way higher risk.
Deregulation does not generally promote profits, even when it allows to cut cost.
