Forget Walmart. I believe the sh*t will really hit the fan with

[no_hypocrisy]

20% tariffs on coffee, America's favorite drug.

My theory is that there will be a drop-off of Starbucks when a small regular costs $6.00.

[dem4decades]

1. Wine too? I'm buying a new set of cordless tools from Home Depot, those will go up too.

Actually, it's kind of poetic justice, all those MAGA Walmart and Home Depot customers about to take it up the tailpipe due to the tariffs.

[Wiz Imp]

14. Isn't a lot of wine made in the US?

I believe coffee is mostly imported.

The price of chocolate will go up as well as cocoa beans are mostly imported.

2. It will all be blamed on Biden and the BASE will believe it.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. We need to do better with that one.

We need to prepare to yell at the reporters who try to work in their bothsiderisms when we fully know it's Trump's fault.

And what we need to do because we now know the public is dumb, is say preemptively what we expect is going to happen in the next term when Trump makes one of his cast-off, uninformed decisions like he did with the pulling out of Afghanistan.

[yardwork]

15. We need to speak up when our relatives and neighbors blame Biden.

[Cosmocat]

26. Been doing that for three decades

Hasn't sunk in yet.

[Cosmocat]

25. Correct

32. Trump's base is maybe 40% being generous.

The other 10% are definitely open to changing their votes next time.

[Ocelot II]

3. That's gonna hurt!

[HAB911]

4. Just my personal feeling

all sectors will take a devastating hit. Personally, I have lots of telcom stock and fear confiscation of cell phones and other property.

[Meadowoak]

5. Im getting new tires for the car, the old ones could probably last another year or possibly two.

but most of those come from China nowadays, I think, and an extra 60% isn't worth it.

[jimfields33]

7. That's an excellent idea. I may to.

I’m also replacing my entire electrical box and breakers for 3600 in first week in December. I still probably have a few years to go for the 25 year replacement. But I’d rather not pay 6K.

6. Don't forget tariffs on tea, either.

the 1773 tea tariff caused a pretty big uproar here in the colonies, I believe.

[duncang]

30. At Cracker Barrel

How much is that sweet tea?

Really expect the free refills to go away at restaurants or fast food places. If they stay free there’s going to be a big cost change.

Businesses won’t know if a country will tick off tfg next week and he adds another 20% tariff. Inventory costs will go up.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. I read a comment sent to me from someone's X account that said (paraphrasing),

" So what if there's a tariff on coffee and tea? We'll just use more grown in America."

[a kennedy]

10. and there you have it, stupid says as stupid is......😂 🤣 😂

Did I say that right??? Just stupid, stupid, stupid MAGA’s.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

16. Kona coffee comes from Hawaii.

Can't put tariffs on American grown coffee. Or can they?

[RubyRose]

18. No they can't

[sinkingfeeling]

20. Okay, but since Kona supplies about 1% of the coffee Americans

consume, it will be rare and just as expensive as Columbian with a tariff.

[keep_left]

24. In addition, Kona coffee is nearly always part of a blend...

...and it's usually a lower percentage in that blend. I've never seen 100% Kona in a store. I would guess you might be able to get it in Hawaii, but not many other places. It would be outrageously expensive. I also have my doubts that Hawaii could suddenly become the sole supplier (or even a major supplier) of the nation's coffee, all because the Trump regime doesn't understand economics or agriculture.

9. If coffee goes super high. I might.

Have to break out my grandma‘s barley coffee recipe.

[peregrinus]

12. Chicory

[thinkingagain]

13. I know there's chicory coffee

For her it was barley
And in the 70s, it was when coffee got really high. They even had an article about her and her coffee and her local paper.
I was young yet I don’t remember the exact details

[Mariana]

23. You might be able to get a copy of the newspaper story.

Check with the library there.

[thinkingagain]

27. That's a good idea

Hadn’t thought that far down the road yet

[ProudMNDemocrat]

17. Next trip to Costco, get a few bags of the Kirkland Ground Medium Roast. The shelf life is quite good.

[Silent Type]

19. Unless coffee is coming from China, not expecting a tariff. And doubt we'll have large tariffs on all

goods, even from China.

[sinkingfeeling]

21. TFG's plan is 60% on Chinese imports and 20% on all others.

President-elect Trump has promised to impose steep new taxes on trade, including a 10-20 percent tariff on all imports, at least a 60 percent tariff on Chinese imports, and a 25-100 percent tariff on Mexican imports.

22. He'll change his tune when those that make money of imports start complaining.

[lapfog_1]

29. I think this will be his new grift

he will impose tariffs on everyone, but remove them on companies that pay him off through one of his many money laundering schemes ( NFT, junk Trump merch, shares of DJT, golf club memberships, permanently booked hotel suites, etc, etc )

[C_U_L8R]

28. The tariffs are just an extortion machine

Want your coffee? Pay Trump.

[Progressive dog]

31. I doubt Trump will actually raise tariffs across the board.

If he does put a 20% tariff on coffee, it would be a big deal to many of us. But Starbucks' cost for raw coffee has to be a small part of their costs.
