If you voted for Trump, I also have some bad news for you. Although it doesn't have to do with your grocery bills increasing. It has to do with you being retarded.

People have loads of different reasons to vote for someone. I hope that the negative impacts of his policies (?) are felt by his own supporters so they can stand tall and say that they still support him even through these hard times. Or not.

Hey farmers, just change up everything you're doing, every product you're producing, and do it all by this year's harvest, mmmkay?

Gonna be a lotta US farms going bankrupt, I see.

1) Administration threatening to raise taxes on food imports in general.

2) They believe imports bring down food prices, just announced a program to import more eggs from overseas in order to alleviate the rocketing price inflation of eggs.

By 2, 1 suggests higher food price inflation ahead.

I expect Trump will pour on the tariffs this year, then next year before the midterms remove them and claim, "see Biden was responsible for the high prices and inflation in 2025 but see how I lowered them in 2026" Promise kept!!

elevatormusician.bsky.social•9 hours ago

For friends who don’t understand tariffs. It’s simple:
You own a bike shop and buy bikes from China for $1,000 and sell them for $1,250. Profit=$250. After a 25% tariff the cost to you is now $1,250 ($1,000+25%). If you sell the bike at $1,250 your profit is now $0. You need to raise prices.

darwinwoodka.bsky.social•11 hours ago

oh, so we've shifted from tomorrow to April 2 now? ok

swizzlesister64.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Trump doesn't actually have the power to unilaterally impose tariffs on everything. It's an emergency power, not a one size fits all. Congress needs to do its job.

torrleonard.bsky.social•11 hours ago

"The president did not provide more detail on which products would be affected, or if there would be any exceptions. It’s also unclear if his plan is part of a previously announced effort to enact so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on nearly all US trading partners."

Oh.

Meanwhile, Trump plans to tariff Canadian potash, which American farmers need to fertilize their crops. And even if all farmer's inputs were completely free, we still can't grow many raspberries or avocados or whatever in the US in January.
What is the plan here?

realslothsrus.bsky.social•10 hours ago

There is no plan. There is never a plan. We have idiots in charge.

peter-butler.bsky.social•11 hours ago

If tariffs on Canada actually start tomorrow (less than 50% odds, imo), look for an exception for potash *very* soon

henchman1.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Except that Canada should then increase the tariff on them in response.

"You want it? Too bad. Now it's not only not exempted, its doubled. Same with eggs, your boy Elon's Swasticars, bourbon..."

thesarahkate.bsky.social•11 hours ago

One slight problem.
- 100% of Canada’s potash comes from one province (Saskatchewan)
- the premier of that province is pro-Trump

surfingthepast.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Do provincial leaders set Canadian tariffs?

henchman1.bsky.social•11 hours ago

If only we had a federal leader on his way out who needs to look after the good of the whole country...

There are surely ways to offset it. Since the goal is pressure, don't tie your hands behind your back.

Moe might be Trumpy, but Canada overwhelmingly isn't.

Good point @crampell.bsky.social . Also, if Mexico and Canada impose reciprocal tariffs, what is the impact on our strawberry, orange and Almonds farmers that produce more than we can consume in spring and summer?

teebonez.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Basically the largest supply of potash in the world is in Canada. Most don't even know what potash is. You what the only good thing about all of this is. We learn most about each other. Maybe when the madness stops we can learn to not take things for granted anymore.
