It's really quite simple: you're going to have a mahoosive burst of inflation with wages trailing along behind (as usual). Eventually, Jamison, at its new (maybe 20% higher) price, will seem just as unaffordable as today.
That's assuming you still have a job, of course... 🫤
So a slightly-less shitty level of extra tariff, then...
Anyway, I believe that the NI situation is still a bit fluid regarding these tariffs, what with it being both UK *and* in the EU single market. It'll be interesting to see how that's resolved (hopefully without the usual petrol bombs...) 🫤
Nope, those guys currently reside at Krome Av Detention Center in Miami (Doral Fl.) Trump went there for a nice golf & dinner party rather than honor American military lost in Lithawania.
Me too! and rice and mangos and kiwi fruit and pineapples and flowers and pickles (which Vlasic makes mostly in India now) and tea and apples and Pellegrino and Perrier and dates and nuts and pretty much the whole grocery cart full of items.
Your OK.
All the cancelled export of steak and soya will provide nutrition.
Until Farmers go bankrupt.
Musk will buy up all the cheap land.
Use surplus Tesla as tractors in auto mode.
Enjoy your Solyent Green.
Highly nutritious.
Actually JD Vance has cornered the market on buying the land after they bankrupt all of the existing farmers. Private equity - Russian Oligarchs will now be the landlords and American farmers can be the serfs or sharecroppers. Using sewage sludge for fertilizer.
Tactical.
Sell to Foreign Investors.
Then Executive Order seizing all land not majority owned by US Citizens.

Gaming consoles. Surely gamers can wait several more years for someone here to develop a gaming system and games, then set up manufacturing plants. And I’m sure it will be prohibitively expensive, but so what? Short term pain for long term gain. Right, kids?
Repost the Warren video. The tariffs are a distraction to pass this Republican tax cut for the billionaires -- that's why they're cutting all kinds of programs in addition to medicaid, medicare and social security -- so they can pay for this billionaire tax cut: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RZ-nl2Nhy9U

I bought 15 pounds of French Roast beans when he was elected—I'm glad I did. I am also going to buy flour, yeast, a big bag of rice, and another 25-pound bag of flour. I bake all of our bread. I am also going to look at mashed potato flakes.
What Americans don’t realize is that any food produced in the United States is not gonna have any regulation around it so technically it’s gonna poison Americans they’re gonna get sick because there’s no guidelines. It’s a free-for-all.
This summer will see an influx of “liberty gardens”. Is it a world war bringing on this? No! It’s a man that can never admit he is ever wrong and spewed the tariff nonsense on the campaign trail therefore must do it.
Us, as well. I have a family member who I don’t speak to any longer due to Trump. Right after the 2020 election and his denial of Biden winning, he had had enough. Fox News got him back though! It’s really sad.
Growing your own food has two benefits. It’s healthier and it gives you lots of good Chi as you’re working in the garden. I wish I had that option. My apartment building doesn’t allow it.
I agree that growing your own food is a healthier option but what do you eat in the meantime while waiting for the plants to grow and the food to be ready to pick, it doesn’t happen overnight and the grocery store shelves empty out fast when there’s nothing coming in from outside the USA!
Thanks! A friend of mine owns plots of land and he is allowing us to grow on it. There’s a collective of us who are learning about growing and self-sufficiency like days of old.
have a tiny piece of land I am packing in all that I can - hopefully enough to share.
Reach out to anybody you know who does have a yard & see if they would be willing to let you grow on their property - do NOT underestimate the amount of work it takes. Put the agreement in writing.
Thankfully, we have a large garden where we grow fruits and vegetables. We live in SoCal, where we can grow year around, and we have enough land to do so. Many folks in red states can not do this, Trump voters. FAFO
This approach is allowing more freedom from Gov't regulation so we will be regulated by one man instead of thousands of Gov't employees. No more vaccines! Our king & Putin will decide who our allies are. We are free to take care of our own healthcare needs. Taxes will lowered for all. Paradise!!
Maybe you don’t know i
that when there wasn’t government regulation on corporations. People couldn’t breathe because the air was toxic and the chemicals used on food by Monsanto caused cancer, birth defects, and miscarriages. Corporations won’t do the right thing. Read Abundance by Ezra Klein.
I hope everyone's children are ready to work as farm-hand in these farms since we are deporting migrants, closing legal immigration, and lowering legal age for child labor in MAGA governed States.
Florida is already on it! The governor there proposed to change child labor laws to allow younger children to work- and longer hours, even on school days… as a solution to the loss of migrant workers!
Oh, it's going to be a situation that Vladimir Lenin described in frightening detail more than 100 years ago. Everything new is simply the old that has been forgotten.
Stock up. Luckily for me I am one of those freaks who can't stand coffee. But I will be hit with tariffs on. . . Wait for it. . . Tea... kinda ironic considering taxes on tea was one of the catalysts that started the Revolution
It's gonna be rough, that's for sure! I started scooping up coffee from Costco as soon as he started spewing his bs about imposing tariffs on our neighbors. He's a madman! Good luck to you and your community! We gotta keep fighting!
My husband retired from GM. So many people don't realize just how much time and money it takes to just transition or production line into a new product. Let loan build a whole factory!
But we’ll be able to afford real coffee once the US opens new diamond mines to compete with the ones past presidents moved to Lesotho, Botswana, Angola and South Africa. We’ll be able to bring those jobs back.
My ground coffee has already gone up a dollarb in less than a week now that's a 40 oz bag of store brand Colombian coffee (not grown in Washington, District of Columbia or is it Dis.America now?)
He knows there’s real people living in Hawaii. About 11 years ago he reportedly swam over to check on the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate. Penguins and sea lions don’t complain about tariff; people do. He knows!
I told my republican husband that there was a beta version of “haul” on my Amazon app today that sells the same items from Temu. He said “great, it’ll be American items” and I just can’t fathom how people think we’re somehow going to start just making everything ourselves. That ship sailed long ago.
I heard the same thing. I had to say “it’s not like packing up your house and moving to a different neighborhood.” It takes years to build a factory . 🙄
I don’t know how you’re married to a Republican. I have stopped talking to my mother because she will not listen to me and makes no sense. I couldn’t live in the same home as someone who support this insanity. I do have one aunt that is sane and her husband is in the cult. I wonder how she does it.
Isn’t that funny? 25 years ago he was the top of his class in law school, passing the California bar exam. He’s been a great husband and provider. This cult is strong. Trump ruined republicans. They lost all free thought. Now they’re so mad they can’t defend him that they spout angry nonsense.
I applaud your honesty, it must be difficult at times to fathom the MAGA logic? Easy for me to pass comment sat here in 🇬🇧. You mention “cult” and I can see that, his people will follow him regardless. His dumbass cabinet picks are so shit scared to say anything against him, meanwhile the US
Economy is in free fall. Ending the war in 🇺🇦 , what’s happening with that? That was a day 1 election promise, right? The calculation of his tariffs and the thought behind them, WTF. Rant over. I love 🇺🇸 and will continue to take my vacation in California each year and visit my pals in Seattle.

I used that a few weeks ago and package came from China and was loaded with items from China. Of course that’s exactly as expected, so I also can’t understand how very basic facts can be totally rejected
My husband as well. Masters degree in genetics. Firing the NOAA scientists won't affect our weather forecasts because every local news channel has a team of meteorologists. I asked him if meat comes from the grocery store. Smart people are in the cult.
We stay very far away from that topic. But, it restricts how much 5-calling, political contributions, 50501 or even commiserating with like minded individuals on the phone I can do. We work together as well. Thank God for Bluesky.
So there’s an excellent opportunity to start a new manufacturing business here.
You Liberals are so lazy. Trump is just giving you an amazing business opportunity, for free! And you’re whining about the Vietnamese people who we killed by the thousands.
All you need is some abandoned factory properties. A tax credit for urban redevelopment. Some kids who have been kicked out of school to work for cheap and an AI that designs all the tools by stealing off the internet.
If he really wants to throw a monkey wrench in it, he should sign an executive order requiring us to convert to the metric system. That would really bring America to it's knees.
I have been listening to conservatives call liberals lazy all my life. He'll, I used to believe it. After a lifetime of building to be in the upper 3%, as a liberal, white in DEI world, I can assure you this is bullshit like everything you believe. Get some damn facts.
And there is no realistic means of getting skilled immigrant labor legally unless you are specifically getting them for seasonal employment. And H2B visas are capped, meaning larger companies with in-house lawyers are more successful anyway.
“there won’t be any construction anyway” is just right! The immigrants are going home. The tourists don’t come. The permanent residents don’t stay. All fear to be ICEd to an unknown destination! The born-in-Americas are dreaming of faraway corners of the earth to, one day, take refuge!
Seriously though, does nobody remember our nation rebelling against British taxes? They weren’t a good thing for America then, and they are even worse for us now.
No matter who exacts the taxes/tariffs, we ALL LOSE.
And this reality approach has to be done in person because the fucking morons get the lies injected into them by their media outlets. This will be a very inefficient process, changing the MAGAt mindset
No, we won't. You need potash to grow potatoes, and something like 80% of that comes from Canada. They're now considering cutting off potash exports to the US because of the tariffs
Oh, you mean there is a thing called targeted tariffs? Those that help maintain competitive pricing with American made products, or give incentive to bringing back manufacturing?
Tariffs are meant to be tool, not a weapon of mass destruction.
You can't teach people to think.
It's a developmental skill.
Requires some basic thought processes. Usually question based with a heavy dose of experience.
You did get that with 45 but seems it didn't sink in.
It may feel warm and soft, but it's still BS you're in.
American companies just haven’t had a financial incentive to GMO coffee that grows in American Rivers. Just wait. This year we will see the first moist Hudson River grown coffee beans.
That’s what I have been saying. We don’t have monopolies on most of the items. The world will buy elsewhere. It’s so narrow minded. And narcissistic. Corn, wheat, soy. You can get that somewhere else.
Wait until he finds out that roughly 9/10ths of all generic pharmaceutical compounds are imported. About half or more from India, which is now subject to a 26% tariff…
What is most surprising is that he actually listened to you. Whenever I point common sense things out I’m called Karen. I like to think it means I’m getting under their skin.
I'm sure the guy thinks Folgers is American coffee. You can just go and buy it in the grocery store. And what about Starbucks? That comes from Seattle, and Seattle is in 'Murika.
🤣🤣🤣👍🏾. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a nomination for “post of the night “ !!! Bravo, salute you sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾(Comedy/ Real 💩+ You might take caution, even speaking to me, first thing in the morning, if coffee goes away… 🤣🤣🤣. Funny… but I’m dead serious… categories)
There is this notion by some that Trump can't be this stupid about...everything. Therefore, he must have a plan the rest of us can't see and he must be smart. But he has proven over and over that yes, he really is that stupid and heartless.
We need counter programming. Every week. In primetime.
He is a revenge president. He has contempt and hate for the American people and all of what he is doing is to punish us for not electing him in 2020. It’s our turn to punish him now.
His plan is to crush small businesses on behalf of giant corporations so they can conquer a greater portion of the market & create monopolies. It’s all about money in the pockets of big corporations.
You have plenty of counter programming it's on 24/7.. it's called CNN, MSNBC, The View, etc. There are plenty of liberal YouTube channels.. Reddit is like 99.5% liberal/anti Trump talking points.. not sure what else you need frankly
Last time I went on Reddit I got blasted by hundreds of MAGA type folks. It was a slaughterhouse all because I wanted to find out if my area was going to have a Hands Off march. I got called all kinds of stupid and they wanted to know what rights I was even fighting for.
We are going to have big bananas. Beautifull bananas. In your groceries bag. Groceries, have you ever heard that word? Its an old fashioned word for a bag with things that you buy inna supermarket. And we are going to have the best supermarkets. The democrats hate supermarkets, theybdo, so sad...
Groceries will become an old fashioned word when stores don’t have jack squat on the shelves.
We’re entering the Find Out phase along with all these clueless maga voters.
In the alternate Kamala admin we all could have been ordering chocolate dipped bananas, but NO, we get turds on a stick now. 😞😑
Adaptation of old Soviet era joke.
Visitor - Is that the shop that sells coffee?
Local - No, that's the shop that doesn't sell bananas. The shop that doesn't sell coffee is over there
In 1870, Wellfleet (MA) sea captain Lorenzo Dow Baker brought the first bananas to the U.S. and thus was born the United Fruit Company, which turned latin American countries into banana republics because its ruthless power squeezed the lifeblood these countries.
Will be nice to harvest cinnamon & vanilla nearby.
So glad we have all those rare earth minerals available here too for manufacturing chips, solar panels, etc.
Oh wait….,
And China have just slapped huge tariffs on their rare earth minerals and because USAID have pulled out of Africa China are now stepping in. Guess they may help some of the African nations mine the rare earth minerals, or is that a wee bit cynical? 🤨
Reminds me when I lived in Houston we had a banana tree in the backyard that did actually fruit one year. Got a dozen or so tiny finger length bananas with pits in the center. Probably should have kept that tree, would've been a good investment apparently.
I'm jazzed about the T-shirt factories that are going to be coming back.
I believe our college-educated youth are jonesing for those $80k starting salaries where they can start sewing on day 1 and retiring their student debt in a decade or two.
There will be Blood. Poor people will die. Putin loves it all. His anal rape of America no lube continues and some think it’s “what we voted for” which is psychopathic OR a trauma response due to anger at experiencing the start of the collapse of civilization. WE’RE ALL GONNA BLEED. Except the 1%.
You could buy some frozen now and stock up. Or move down here to south Florida…. (eyes disintegrating education, sea level rise…) Hey, maybe your pup would enjoy blueberries?
Totally awesome!! Where are we growing them at ? There are about 72 million americans that don’t have a damn clue where coffee beans or bananas are grown. They will be shocked to find out folgers and maxwell house buy their beans from other countries.
This 👆🏻 don’t forget the aluminium you get much of from Canada & other tariffed nations for all the beer and soda cans, construction & manufacturing 🤷🏻♀️
Good luck doing that with modern semiconductor manufacturing: it can take years to get the chemistry and processing to the point where viable yields of chips start to occur.
I'm open to offers: shouldn't cost much more than $20Bn - we'll have those state-of-the-art chips rolling off a US production line by about Dec 2060.
Interested in investing..? 💰💰💰
(Alternatively, you could just send your designs to TSMC in Taiwan)
True, not even close. And the govt would need to invest in PR to assist in this effort, which based on past behavior of the govt toward PR is a pipe dream. Perhaps PR would negotiate coffee for statehood?
California does also. Jason Mraz has an organic farm that grows several varieties but not enough for our insatiable need of it. He is trying to get others to grow coffee as well.
If they fuck around with coffee they are going to find out some painful consequences. Especially from Senior women. We have purses, we have things in them, and we know how to swing them quite well.
Maga could make this a reality. Kids and pregnant women sewing in factories with no AC. With outsourced cheap labor, no longer available clothing, shoes, and furniture will be very expensive. Dollar Stores will become Twenty Sollar stores.
I've got great eastern exposure, going to plant cacao trees this weekend. It'll be the greatest coffee anyone has ever had, no one has seen anything like it. Make American coffee great again. 🤡🤣

Subject their exports to foreign tariffs and they have to sell their family farms to big ag. USAID was a big buyer of those exports too.
Instead of the market Musk did it with crypto pumps and dumps.
Speaking of crypto, it is the financial elephant in the room. It factors into this tariff/market meltdown as well.
