I have a burning need to know stuff and I love asking awkward questions.

OK... Two things wrong with this. First, we wouldn't waste eggs on it even though ours are MUCH cheaper than in the US. It's much more likely that either paint or petrol bombs would be involved. Second, the Cybertruck is banned from the road in both Europe & the UK because its in violation of EU/UK driving regulations. Plus, because of its excessive weight here (and on the Mainland I think) you also need a special licence over and above the usual car driving licence which makes running it more expensive - oh, and also the standard charging plugs here & in the EU are non-compliant with Tesla's. A few *have* been imported (I've heard) but the moment the police see them they're immediately stopped and impounded....

I love that it is banned. It's so stupid and ugly. Even if Musk wasn't such a horrible person, I would hate these vehicles. Every time I see one, I can't help but bust out laughing. And from those I have seen so far, they're always driven by middle-aged white men with bad hair cuts.

BTW - I checked... A dozen eggs (medium size/free range) are £2.70 which is $3.60.... How much are they where you are?

The YouTube vids always make me laugh - especially when so-called 'off-road' capable trucks get stuck in a inch of snow or on a beach... Plus bits keep falling off them... [lol] What total pieces of crap they are!

medium/free range here are $4.70. But I always buy the extra large because Eleanor and I like a hard boiled egg for breakfast sometimes. Those are up to $5.49. A few months ago they were in the $3 to $4 range. And milk has gone through the roof, over $6 a gallon now for 1% milk.

Why has *milk* increased in price? Surely its local? Or have the cows picked up bird flu?

Funny, here *ages* ago they tried to go from pints (we don't do milk in gallons) to litres... That only lasted a month or two because the new bottles were either slightly more or slightly less than the originals - so people either ran out early or it went 'off' before it was used. Chaos & complaints ensued. After that they returned to pints VERY quickly!

Part of it is due to dairy herds catching Bird Flu, unfortunately.

The point is: we could afford it if we had to. But we don't waste food here, or at least try not to.

CyberKitten said...

Indeed. I *hate* wasting good food....

Exactly. Especially for such idiots.
