Well, there goes Colombian coffee and bananas!
I mean .. they can still come in, they are just 25% more expensive for Americans
more. middle-men gonna middle on that 25%.
The best middle-men in this situation are the ones sidestepping the tariffs entirely.
Not like Colombia doesn't already have a rich history of smuggling high-demand US contraband over the border, but it will be weird to start getting all my coffee shipped by way of Langley.
Even weirder when they start packing coffee in cocaine to throw off the dogs.
Can't wait to get me some bootleg coffee beans
deep, deep burn. CIA flights imminent.
You don't understand, tariff is promoting the emergence of American made alternative, by next week you will find American grown coffee and bananas in the supermarket.
🤣
So we're all drinking Kona now?
Coffee is already getting more expensive, I'm assuming everywhere :/
it is. coffee producing regions all over the world are suffering the effects of global warming.
And 50% more later on :)
Kind of glad I panic-bought ground Columbian coffee and froze it. Not that that's great, but better than nothing.
But why would you buy ground? A grinder is like $10. You can grind 3-4 days at a time if you don't like cleaning.
It was on sale. I have a grinder.
You have to clean your grinder? Mine's going on 5 years without... In answer to your question, I didn't want to clutter up my kitchen, so I wouldn't have bought one on my own, but it was gifted.
Colombian

Ooo boy Don Jrs gonna have a hard time with this one
Lol I thought the same thing
Maybe Elon will spot him
