    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.)

          In that case, it’s sad that he doesn’t think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.

        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 … 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.
