16. It figures that the price of coffee is going through the roof.
Sat Feb 7, 2026, 08:25 PM
Feb 2026

According to Google AI, U.S. coffee production accounts for less than 1% of total U.S. consumption. That means almost all of it is imported and thus subject to Schlump's stupid tariffs. I'm afraid it may get worse before it gets better.

Only Schlump would do something that idiotic. Anyone with half a brain would realize that some things have to be imported, especially agricultural crops that require growing conditions that don't exist in the continental U.S. But of course, that asshole only has a fragment of a brain that is rapidly deteriorating.
