Here's one for you, @bylinesnetwork.co.uk! 🫠

Just sell the eggs to balance the deficit, they're like a squillion dollars each in the US atm 🤣

heardislandgov.bsky.social•4 days ago

Our babies though…🐣🐣

prtfish.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sell the ones that don’t hatch … the US will never catch on

liangrhea.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think there's a trick you can do holding eggs up to a strong light... and I know there can be very strong light on the island. Sounds like it could be a win-win. Balance trade deficit, save time not incubating dud eggs?

andresomers.bsky.social•4 days ago

Isn’t the problem (according to Trump) that the US is already importing more than they are exporting? What does the US produce that you pinguïns might want to consider buying?

VHS Tapes of “The three stooges”

heardislandgov.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks we will keep that in mind if we end up in penguin jail/Venezuelan zoo

sardoniccomment.bsky.social•3 days ago

Canada stands with Heard Island. I talked to Mark Carney about it.

imx1.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not. Happening.

On a semi-related note, I want to be an unofficial delegate and spend a day amongst the citizens.
I'll bring fishy snacks.

thegaragepeople.bsky.social•4 days ago

A penguin nation would bow down in reverence if you brought Wisconsin fish fry!

heardislandgov.bsky.social•4 days ago

Our Gov owns Packer stock

imx1.bsky.social•4 days ago

Excellent!!!

I'll bring cheese hats for all!

thegaragepeople.bsky.social•4 days ago

Do penguins devour cheese curds like 'Sconies?

imx1.bsky.social•4 days ago

There will be no bowing.

I have respect for the citizens. I understand the limitations.

bonnyd.bsky.social•3 days ago

When will you be issuing Gold Visas like Trump? I want to buy one to support the good people and penguins of the Heard Island. Besides may as well spend some dollars before Trump destroys them right?

larpitens.bsky.social•4 days ago

EGGS? DID YOU SAY EGGS? WHERE? AND FOR HOW MUCH?
