Coffee prices are crazy now. It’s evidently due to both tariffs and poor weather in some of the coffee-producing countries.

One reason Trump instituted tariffs is to protect American industry. And that’s a very good thing. But America produces very little coffee. So the tariffs here seem to be political.

Is that a very good thing?

Well, waaaahhh. My coffee is 25 cents a cup because I get it from the discount shelf in the back of Safeway.
