But that wouldn't make billions of chicken appear into existence. The eggs would be cheaper and there would shortsges.

    I'm sorry, I'm not sure I'm following your train of thought....

    Are there currently egg shortages? Subsidising something doesn't mean there's less of it, means the government pays someone in the production stream to keep prices low. Like what happens with gasoline just about everywhere.

    The official story is they killed 100 nillion chicken due to bird flu. This caused a shortage of eggs, the shortage caused the price to raise until it was so high they became unaffordable to some people.
