Has FOX told you?

It makes no sense, right?


C'mon, Idiots....find the courage to admit it...

Seems fair. I drink a premium coffee at home. Costs about 17 cents a cup.

If that goes up and some other problems go away, I'm good...

What "problem" does it promise to make "go away"?

What STAGE of TDS has your therapist told you that you are in??

In guessing Stage 4 with no possible chance for recovery as it's totally terminal.

I have drunk a lot of premium coffee in my lifetime, and Jacobs is my go-to coffee. Anyway, with a lot of the biden problems gone now, I will gladly pay more for my coffee.

I'm reading this, and thinking

"F'n A is this stupid. I need to send it to PG"....

and then I realize what a classic example of Credulity it is.

Yes...that's the point of the thread.


 

7 Idiot Media enthusiast have chimed in, but not one has offered the Idiot Media talking points justifying a 50% tariff on a country with which we enjoy a trade SURPLUS.


"Why do you show us such withering disdain, Blackvegetable?"

Tariffs are an excellent tool for behavior modification as Brazil is finding out.

FYI:

Donald Trump's administration imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian coffee imports to the US primarily as a form of political pressure rather than for purely economic reasons.
Here's why:
Support for Jair Bolsonaro: Trump has repeatedly voiced his support for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing ally who is currently on trial in Brazil facing charges related to plotting a coup after the 2022 election results and refusing to leave office quietly. Trump has characterized the case against Bolsonaro as a "witch hunt".
Disapproval of Brazilian Supreme Court: Trump has also criticized the actions of the Brazilian Supreme Court, particularly Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing the case against Bolsonaro and has taken steps to curb online speech. Trump views these actions as undermining free elections and freedom of speech.
Leverage in other areas: While Trump has historically cited trade deficits as a justification for tariffs, the US actually has a trade surplus with Brazil. Therefore, the coffee tariffs, among others, appear to be a tactic to exert influence on Brazil's internal political affairs and potentially to achieve other goals, such as limiting the influence of BRICS countries.
In essence, the tariffs on Brazilian coffee, and other Brazilian products, were implemented by the Trump administration as a means of expressing strong disapproval of the Brazilian government's actions against Bolsonaro and to pressure them to alter their stance on the matter.

In the interest of what principle?

BTW, AI is correct on the main point.

There is no principle here.

The tariff wars are not on my radar as I really don't give a **** but in the interest of what you are complaining about I thought a search was appropriate.

it's a feedback loop.....you don't give a **** because they aren't on your radar.....they aren't on your radar because the **** media on which you rely are opting to fill your head with **** OTHER than what Grifty is "achieving".
