Mute is what I wish you were, because my fluency level with stupid is not very high.
Anyway, you're right. The mexican avocados are exempt under treaty. Here's what AI says:
It's worth noting that other top avocado-exporting countries, such as Peru, Dominican Republic, Colombia and Chile, face a 10% tariff on avocado imports to the US.
But that's not really a big problem - mexico owns the market.

Those new jobs are not going to happen overnight. Guess we could go back to having other countries screw us over by THEIR tariffs. People are so used to the status quo and can't see into the future. Will it work? I don't know but at least it is an effort. Bammy told us those jobs would never come back. Trump's just trying to prove the *** wrong!Cannonpointer » 20 Aug 2025, 12:48 pm » wrote: ↑ That is simply false. Trump's ten percent tariff on coffee is ACROSS THE BOARD, with a higher 'targeted tariff against Brazil. A TARGETED tariff would would be to raise JOBS - not to raise grocery prices, duh.
'
The market is not Jesus, son. Cost of living is an issue, too. Especially for those whose circumstances are less than ideal. Many are getting close to having to choose between groceries and heat/AC.
Yeah, I don't think this high tide is floating all boats, there, buddy.
I'm eating more hamburger and less ribeye. My dogs are getting more liver and less breast (which is probably better for them, anyway - so, no biggy on that score). Trump was widely expected to bring grocery prices DOWN. His tariffs cannot possibly fail to drive them up - at least item by item. And when you stop to think about the size of the avocado market and what tariffs will do to restaurant and grocery store prices, it is a caution. I'mmighty happy that I have a great fondness for hummus, because I'm not going to be able to justify spending more on guacamole than it already costs - and it's going to goup by around 20%, based on a ten percent tariff.
The tariffs Trump promised were to BRING JOBS BACK - not to raise the price of groceries.
You are right, a strong stock market doesn't help everyone. Thanks for reminding me what a dick I am. I can put my bleeding heart liberal side on but crying all day long is exhausting. Little ole me can't change any of this ****.
Bought avocado at the store yesterday, 2/$4 medium size.
Price in 2020 $1.25 each. Most I have paid recently was 1/$3.50 for jumbo at Sprouts. That raised my eyebrow a bit but still bought them. We eat maybe 2 avocados a week.
Put some roasted red pepper oil on that hummus, yum. Pine nuts are great also. Of course those two items are pretty spendy.
So Trump's a dick for the Brazil coffee tariff, deal with it or change one's behavior. Americans are the most spoilt people on the planet!

I don't know one American consumer who is paying for Brazilian coffee. It's obvious that if there are American consumers paying higher prices for Brazilian coffee, they choose to do just that. There is not one Brazilian coffee that makes the list of the 9 best coffees in the world, so they are pretty stupid too. And you are not a coffee drinker, so why do you give a ****?Blackvegetable » 21 Aug 2025, 9:31 am » wrote: ↑ Why are American consumers paying to punish Brazil for pursuing justice?

You have a very common ability to see as far as the end of your nose.
A bigger picture escapes you constantly. Such is a selfish, small, narcissist.
You go have a wonderful life. That's the most important thing. Even if pretending.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.

Yes, the United States imports a significant amount of coffee from Brazil. Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer and a major supplier to the US market. In fact, the US relies on Brazil for a substantial portion of its coffee beans, with some estimates suggesting around a third of the coffee used in the US comes from Brazil. While other countries like Colombia and Vietnam also contribute to US coffee imports, Brazil remains a top supplier.MR-7 » 21 Aug 2025, 10:09 am » wrote: ↑ I don't know one American consumer who is paying for Brazilian coffee.

Common knowledge for everyone except you apparently.
Prior to President Trump’s second term as president how many countries/territories imposed tariffs against US goods?
The survey says...197. Yes, 197 countries/territories including every European country, Canada, Mexico – Zimbabwe – you name it. In fact, literally if you name a country – you'll be right. How come.
Here’s the next trivia question for you... How many countries are there in the world? The answer: 195. Yes, effectively every country in the world plus additional territories impose tariffs against US goods.
Do you care to fancy a guess as to where the US ranks in terms of the use of tariffs – even now? 153. As in 153 countries/territories charge higher tariffs than the United States does. At an average of 1.5% - the US tariff rate remains one of the lowest in the world. The median tariff rate worldwide is currently 2.6%, or a rate that’s 73% higher than what the United States has imposed.
