Tariffs all around, Except for ...

I got to thinking about tariffs
and decided to gather insight from my scrying stone.

Sure it isn't crystal or mirrored
but that is because the future is quite opaque.

Then the epiphany!
There is very little affordable domestic grown coffee!

As I contemplated the bleak future of double and triple priced coffee I decided:


So here's the thing: even the new gilded age White House will need to serve coffee.

And the new Prez will be in the position to exclude his chosen brand from the tariff, depending on which company is willing to give him the best percentage of their profits.

Totally legal because setting tariffs is an official act, and any profit for him can't be charged as criminal corruption.

And the profit should be yuge, since consumers will likely purchase the regular no tariff coffee rather than the double and triple priced coffee from the other companies.

When you think about it, somebody might just feel like throwing the tariffed coffees overboard before it can be unloaded.

In a festive, party sort of way.

I ain't sweating the tariffs I'll only buy the cheapest coffee if it happens to be what I think is the best tasting coffee.

Well....there's tea you know.

Got to look after the Indians!.

I'm just hoping the White House brand has a dark roast variety.
