…Kona coffee probably already costs $50 a pound. Kona coffee is a US domestic crop.
You get dropped on your head?
Well, Kona is Hawaiian (which is American,) but the Brazilian, Vietnamese, and Columbian stuff that the rest of us poors drink is set to explode in cost.
Um, Kona coffee is from Hawaii, my dude
Putting tariffs on coffee makes absolutely zero goddamn sense due to how it’s grown properly and that is why I think Trump might actually still do it. But seriously, we are not going to get anywhere near the quality of the stuff coming from South America and parts of Africa by moving coffee production in-state. It’s just not possible.
People will riot over this shit, even some of his supporters. Coffee is a big deal.
Bananas?
Half the fresh produce and virtually all fresh produce you eat during the winter?
Seafood?
Rice?
Nuts?
♪ We have no banana today!♪ *
*but we did yesterday and they were $5.99 a pound.
What’s garbage is that the “fancy” foreign stuff is exempt. I work in wine and he put the tariff on Europe last time but exempted French Champagne specifically along with port because the wealthy consume them.
These tariffs carve out exemptions for his friends
Kona coffee already costs $50/lb. At least. Good Kona coffee anyway.
Coffee is lib-coded anyway. Real American’s drink energy drinks.
Coffee, Chocolate, Tomatoes, Avocados, Bananas, Strawberries, various cooking oils, cashews, rice, sugar, cheese, foreign alcohol spirits, live stock.. and there’s a lot more
Kona coffee is Hawaiian and it’s almost $50 a pound already.
Chocolate too.
Waiting for the usual, but what if we grew coffee beans here and create american jobs 🤣
I mean we import a huge range of fruit and veg. No more out of season fruits and veg in the dead of winter. Also if you think you slapping tariffs on things isn’t going to make other countries retaliate thus dropping exports you’ve not lived long enough to see this stupid tariffs game of bluff and counter bluff play out before. Warning it’s not a fun game.
Me a coffee lover and purely addicted to it to the point I act like an irrational asshole when I don’t get my daily fix….
I might fucking die.
It relates a bit to what relations tell me of the state of food in the US,. My cousin who lives in a metro center has a lot of foreign food options, including a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, cheeses, wines, etc. However, my other relatives finished a tour of multiple mid-Western and Western states and what they found is that whenever you’re outside of those big metro centers, your food options reduce drastically, so I guess for a LOT of Americans, especially in red states or counties, they won’t see that much of a difference, part, yes, from things like coffee, while another lot of Americans will see either/both a reduction in food options/a price hike on those options.
But eventually, even people who purchase American-made food will see a hike. Notably because some machines or parts come from abroad, which means they will be tariffed. Or maybe X food is made in the US, but from ingredients from another country. The conséquences will just be phased in.
Bananas at my local supermarket are currently $0.59/pound. The vast majority of Bananas in the US are imported and will be affected by tarrifs
You’re standing in your local grocery store in the USA.
It’s the middle of Winter.
Where do you think all those fresh fruits and vegetables come from? The Southern Hemisphere.
Sadly it’s so much more. I took note of it all grocery shopping yesterday. Most tropical produce (even for me in California), jasmine rice, ramen noodles, shrimp, coffee, tea, beer, wine.
Hope y’all like corn and soybeans and milk. 🙄
It already cost $50 a pound
What fucking year is it where people think imports are inherently fancy? Do they think all we import is bejeweled eggs and rare delicacies?
The rich have been scraping up all the profits for decades from the price difference of cheap labor that other countries and immigrants provide. Getting all the immigrants out *and* placing high tariffs will cause extreme inflation next year for groceries and clothing etc etc, and we will then see the true disparity in wealth.
We are in for it now. I hope you save a healthy emergency fund by May, when the Q2 earnings reports start coming in and the layoffs start massing to go along with the massive inflation.
Coffee, chocolate, tomatoes, bananas, beef, pork, etc.
Orange and Peaches both are primarily imported from Australia. Our oranges don’t come from Florida and our peaches don’t come from Georgia. Y’all better get used to eating cheese, corn, and soybeans real quick. If you’re allergic to dairy, corn, and soy, you’re gonna need 3 jobs just for enough groceries to survive.
Not to mention the $20 snack size Hershey bard because cocoa is imported.
No we’re American and only drink Black Rifle Cof.. Oh wait a minute.
Let it happen. This is what the idiot majority of voters want and voted for, let it happen. Elon told them that Trump’s economic policy would cause hardship and they voted for it anyway. They deserve everything they voted for.
The argument I saw against this was
“THIS!! when
did America lose capability of growing their own produce?”
Let me introduce you to winter Becky.
Yeah Kona is from Hawaii, but I see your point.
Isn’t Kona coffee from Hawaii?
$4-billion dollars of food is bought/imported from China.
If you think people turning to domestic products are not going to pay a “Louis Vuitton” premium to offset imposed Tariffs…
There are no scenarios where this will benefit American consumers or workers.
I don’t even want to think about how much Columbia’s other major export is going to cost
Waiting for all the PATRIOTIC COFEE COMPANY^TM to go out o business because people refuse to pay out of their asses for shitty roasts.
