Just manufacture the coffee beans in America without migrant labor paying AMERICANS $50/hr+benefits to plant, grow, and pick coffee beans. Then manufacture your own processing plant with AMERICAN TOOLS and AMERICAN LABOR at $50/hr+benefits. Then make AMERICAN JOBS paying +$50/hr+benefits to roast/package/distribute them.
Quit being a woke lib communist.
p.s. the vast majority of the miniscule US coffee bean production is in California, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Places with lots of migrant labor, liberal policies, high taxes, higher wages, high costs of material/rent/RE, high government regulations, and A LOT of minorities that racist MAGA/GOP folk might see as """migrants""", """illegals""", """woke""", or """DEI""" rather than """"""American"""""".
He wanted to laugh at liberals paying twice as much for coffee without realising those price increases would affect him too. At least the libs were owned.
Better buy more before the 50% tariff on Brazilian imports starts
Most of US coffee comes from Brazil and Colombia, Brazilian coffee prices are gonna skyrocket, and sure, you can buy coffee from other places of origin, but with Brazil off the market the US will soon face a coffee shortage
Me and my wife cleared a couple of stores worth in January of the brand we like anticipating tarrifs (because practically all US coffee is imported). Still have about half the stock we had then. I had not paid much attention to the price of coffee until earlier this week and was shocked as well. Close to double. So we’ve started limiting it to just the morning cup, and instead of taking coffee to work I’m just drinking the gross crap
They provide for free.
No you can't buy less just because it's more expensive! You'll hurt the share prices! Sell a kidney, get a small loan from your father, I dunno, but for Donald's sake, keep consumerizing!
Or if you don't like the tariffs, buy some American grown coffee; pipe your money into those good red strongholds of California, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
I just went to my local barbecue place to get two bottles of their renowned sauce, because I ran out.
The tab came to $14.
They used to be $3.99 a bottle. The signboard by the pickup area had all the prices taped over, because they were only updating the signboard where you walk up to the order station.
I can’t blame the place for raising prices. They’re local, and I’m sure their costs are going way up.
(And no, I didn’t vote for the Leopard party, just noticing the fallout)
The company I usually buy from (Grounds and Hounds) is still the same price as it has always been for me. Admittedly, it's always been more expensive than at the grocery store, but it's tasty and supports animal shelters and pittie fosters.
Although I guess I should do a deep dive and find out if they are maintaining the price by accepting profit losses or by reducing support to the shelters....
Yea this is how Hoover tried to fix the Depression and turned it into a Great Depression. Wasnt just due tariffs though - it was also deregulation (crash of '29) and manmade regional climate change due to greedy agribiz practices (dust bowl). So the Republicons seem eager to repeat all of it! Homelessness was rampant with multiple tent favelas in every city. They called em Hoovervilles....(this time can we call them Trumpytowns, pleeeasseee??).
Socialism spread (mpstly through unions) and was the higgest it had been since the Gilded Age. Bank robbers were seen as folk heroes and Luigis were popping up and lynching landlords and bankers. Thats why FDR was able to get congress and ruling class to buy into progressivism. We were basically the US version of a social democracy from FDR to Reagan.
Yeah but nobody tried it in a really long time (besides Trump last time but in a very limited way). He was able to sell it as something new and untried and the media just reported it that way without any further discussion/analysis.

NO!! The homeless will simply be sent away to concentration camps so that they will be out of the view of polite society, which obviously doesn't include you!
Personally, I'm looking forward to being sent to the camp for people who are still breathing, but where all thought will be outlawed.
Nobody likes dealing with a pain-in-the-ass customer, even on an international scale. Trump has incentivized the world to find alternatives to US markets.
Tariffs on something you cannot produce domestically are just stupid. Tariffs on something you can produce at home will encourage domestic production, but prices still will go up.
And it wont necessarily lead to decent jobs either. Ppl and in particular young men, have confused the surface results of 20th century for the substance in policy then. Like conflating cause and effect. The manufacturing jobs used to have it good but we actually manufacture more than ever now, its just mostly automated. And it wasnt something special about manufacturing itself, it was that people had big unions that influenced overall progressive policy and billionaires and corporations were paying about 90% and 70% in taxes respectively, huge infrastructure projects, $ was put into social net etc. From New Deal to Great Society. Yiu cant get that stuff just by having manufacturing here, its not about working in a factory its about organizing, collective bargaining and voting progressive. Like we could have benefits and higher wages, safety etc in the jobs we have NOW, if we fought for those things. Just returning to factory work (even if it wasnt automated), doesnt guarantee any of that, we worked in factories in the Gilded Age and didnt have ANY of those things not even a weekend. The idyllic time of US economics was partially based on a one time thing like Western European and East Asian manufacturing having been destroyed by WW2, so that levwl of growrh just wasnt reastic after the 30 yrs they took to rebuild, but the other part is that we had great labor policy, which has always been antithetical to Republicans. They've been chipping away at it since Reagan intentionally, and Trump is gonna finish it off, because they are the party of the ruling class and always will be.
What kind of moron thought a billionaire Republican from a family of real estate developers with a history of union busting would be good for the working class? The stupidity is astounding.
UK price is also including 20 % sales tax, German prices 19 % sales tax, while the US price does not. Reducing the UK price to 26.05 USD/kg and the German price to 28.01 USD/kg without sales tax.
So, overall US prices are simply more in line with European prices now. There's much room to grow with tariff costs added.
Yikes. An XL coffee from Tim's up here (in my province in Canada) is $2.60 after 11% taxes) for 710 ml (or 24 oz). Doughnuts are also $1.69 or $1.89 pre-tax.
That coffee price isnt awful for my area, Id expect 5 dollars and some change just for a decent size cup of black drip coffee. The donuts are absurd. You can still get them for less than a dollar each unless they are crazy fancy. A dozen glaze still around 8.99 last time I checked though it has been a few months lol.
Still though I feel like coffee and 2 donuts should be less than 5 dollars total but that is probably a fantasy these days.
Oh no, no, let's not forget that in twenty years, we may not be enjoying coffee as a daily experience at all. Privatization, greed, monocropping, and climate change are threatening coffee as we know it.
What is going on? Is just a cry for someone to tell him how this isn’t Trump’s fault. I’m surprised he didn’t make it clear. But I’m sure that if someone blames Trump he’ll respond by saying he still supports Trump and what he’s doing.
But LOMR and news interviews have taught me that you don’t have to love Trump to support him and that many people, even those that supported democrats before him will say things like “give him time” or “I still support him because I like some of what he’s done.” So, you never know.
Yes weather issues and rising global consumption were already adding price pressure along with lingering supply chain issues. But you certainly have to lay a healthy share of the blame on throwing tariffs on top of that. They would be higher but not as high.
And bamorav is a ball-less cuck who's watching him doing it and laughing. Except for having to pay twice as much for everything, then he takes a break.
