4. Yes, they overexpanded and have been too pricey for years but I just paid 120% more for

a 11-ounce (formerly 12-ounce, formerly 16-ounce) bag of coffee from a favorite (but not really top premium) coffee company that I have purchased from for years. It is not sold in grocery stores in my part of the US, but where is located, I believe it probably is.

If that is the case with the so-called consumer "grade" coffee, then Starbucks must be losing their everloving minds over those 50% tariffs on Brazil. I just bought $50 of my favorite loose-leaf tea that I use to make iced tea that I drink constantly, and which will last quite a while because those prices are increasing dramatically, too.

Damn you, Trump! How will the public "love you" when they have zero medical care access (and no ability to buy prescription drugs if they do), are eating beans and rice as the only staple they can afford, and shivering all winter (while sweltering all summer long in between power outages) as a result of your mega AI-generating facility promotion over the consumer and war on Green Energy.
