    Just was at the grocery store. Was joking around with cashier, he and the bag boy talked about the ad playing over the loudspeakers about avocados from Mexico. They seemed nice. He finishes ringing me up and I groan. He says he’s really looking forward to prices coming down in the next four years. I started laughing at him, saying that’s not how tariffs work and that we’re all fucked.

    What a wonderful day in the neighborhood.

      Even absent the tariffs, its crazy to think prices will be coming down under a government that loves the idea of price gouging and speculation.
