U.S. President Donald Trump has made stopping fentanyl at both the northern and southern borders one of his administration's top priorities, but American law enforcement data shows that another commodity appears far more often in seizures: eggs.

    It’s because there is not enough tariffs in place.

        If an artist is using their grant money on booze and art supplies, the government will get a fair bit of the money back through taxes. If the artist does drugs instead, the government is missing out. The obvious choice would be to start taxing all narcotics and intoxicants.

    to contextualise : eggs aren’t just food, they could also contain various animals that could distrupt the ecosystem, hence why they were smuggled before, why border cops are looking for them, etc.

    Let’s try smuggling Kinder Surprise eggs instead, maybe that will relieve the tension.

      Also the capsules that are in Kinder Surprise eggs are great for smuggling drugs in your bum. A perfect circle.

    Why didn’t their orange shit stain make eggs cheaper like they claimed they voted for so they can avoid admitting they’re racist and sexist
