“Politically speaking, what the White House has managed to create here is a daily reminder to every single coffee drinker in the United States of America that their cost of living has increased. Every day they will get this little memo…


Thanks, great post…that sentence should be forced to go viral.

that sealed the fate of the country if he won cuz he will literally blow up the world’s economy to prove he’s “right.”

an analyst said that lots of Americans still thought that everything he said when campaigning is just "Trump talk and he won't really do that".

We have to face the fact that there really are a helluva lot of fellow Americans who are gullible/ignorant.

Isrealy sad. That any of them are retired and serving members of the armed forces. This past weekend while pissy wig was kissing the Anal. Ring of the Arab freaks he is golfing again. Ignoring the latest soldiers who died. How can you allow this freak to carry on. The sooner he is dead the better off we all. Will be..jeezu

I was talking to a young man a few days ago who lives on the same floor of the same condo as a friend of mine. He is mentally challenged but he functions very well. He lives alone, works three days a week at Costco, and gets himself to work on the bus. We pass in the hall often, say hello or chat briefly, and it is only his habit of repeatedly using my and my friend's names that indicated his need to work harder than many of us to remember them. The other day we had a longer than usual chat and he mentioned his difficulty in remembering names and expressing himself, but in actuality he did very well. Perhaps because he puts in the extra effort.

What he wanted to talk about was our upcoming federal election in Canada and his feelings about Poilievre. To sum up his thoughts, he felt Poilievre only spoke in generalities without talking about specific plans or policies, and he was very concerned. He also said how much he hated listening to the news coming out of the States because it was so horrible.

There's another friend I speak with who has an IQ in the 140+ range. He has dyslexia. He went to school before this was recognized and developed his own method to teach himself to read which was later adopted by area schools, although I'm sure there are different programs now. We've also spoken about the upcoming election. His main concern was about the possibility of the Liberals enacting greater restrictions on guns because he hunts (and grows vegetables) to lower his food costs. For that reason, this election he plans to vote Conservative. And this despite the fact that he and members of his immediate family have serious health concerns. They have, between them, required repeated ER visits, a couple of hospital stays, and multiple tests to identify the problems. And yet, to quote The Walrus:

I don’t think there’s any correlation between IQ and susceptibility to propaganda. There is certainly no correlation between IQ and empathy.

He, personally, dislikes FOX news but his wife listens to it all the time. Who knows how much he gets secondhand.

is feel 'so blessed' when he removes or lowers
tariffs later, that the masses will kneel and say
'oh yes and thank you' "deep stupidity" abounds

Can't a really talented Barista make a latte with the cream showing trump going down a drain?
Pretty please?

People in general don't understand supply chains and think of them in terms of shipping stuff over weeks and months. But items like coffee are coming in through our ports daily, the ports are where the tariffs are levied. Coffee goes from port to shelf in a very short time, a matter of days in some instances, at most weeks. There aren't giant warehouses filled with coffee anywhere.

The entire supply chain for nearly everything is set up for just in time delivery. It's one of the founding principles of lean, to not have costly inventory and to pull the raw materials into your production system only when you're ready to use them.

Here in Michigan, the entire auto industry is having a bomb detonated over it. The tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers cannot absorb more costs this quickly without serious consequences. I expect mass layoffs throughout the month and beginning as soon as this week.

Wait until they find out bananas grow on trees elsewhere because we have a small limit production.

Thank god I don't eat avocados.

We import most of our tea as well.

In other words, your morning beverage likely comes from another country.

and I'm sure the U.S. taxpayers will subsidize his habit.

from the importer, etc, etc. Every place marking it all up.

Trump‘s tariffs make no sense as economic policy as Senator Chris Murphy explains so well in this little video. How does it make sense? That’s much darker.

They do make sense as the tool Trump is using to collapse democracy, and bully companies to come to him and beg for relief. Like he’s been bullying law firms and universities.

The whole tropical mountain 2000-6000 foot elevation thing is lacking in land area for the USA.
