i still have tubs coffee was stored in from the mid 2000s my dad saved to store nails in. they were almost 2x the size of the ones sold now and cost about 1/4 what they do now.

you all need to understand coffee is pure luxury. you will not be able to enjoy it regularly at all by 2030. youll be priced out of it and forced to drink energy drinks which are mostly chemicals and filtered caffeine waste from coffee grounds from factories.

this is the way of the future. nearing 9billion world pop, everyone cant have coffee. this isn't pre WWII where you could actually have things.

Gas is down, energy is down, eggs milk and bread are down. The only think going up around here is my savings, investments, and property value. Coffee is up due to import fees specifically.

Coffee is way better when you only drink it sometimes. If you drink it every day then it doesn't even do anything anymore because you build a tolerance. After a while, all it does is take away the caffeine withdrawal symptoms. You're a slave and a bitch who likes it in the asshole.

>>21504131

Yeah, Chatgpt said the exact same thing but that seems skeevy and gross. There's an independent grocery store not far from me with a grinder and I guess it would be okay to use it there if I call or email the owner and ask. His kid has been in my kid's class the last two years so I can get in touch easily to do it but I would feel gross about it
>>21504126

Got a new job. Coffee is free and it's decently drinkable. Just sayin' :)

>>21502899 (OP)
it's because it's ground coffee, coffee usually grows on bushes so making it grow directly on the ground inflates the price.

Dont blame gays for this! Do you think I want my orange mocha frappuccinos to be more expensive?!?

>>21504235

>>21504207
But then then you will have a coffee grinder for future beans. Think of it as an investment.

As a straight white male, I don't waste my time with coffee. When I want a kick, I take a scoop out of my caffeine bag here, then match it 2 to 1 with L-THEANINE. Put it in a glass, add a bit of water, and shoot it, down the hatch. This is how men behave.

>>21504207
I'd rather buy a coffee grinder to grind coffee with than autistically bring my own beans to the grocery store grinder or harass somebody to help me do it, just personally. But I also prefer to grind my beans anyway so I already have one

noticed this too. My 40oz eight o'clock coffee is now $19 a bag when it is usually $14. BJs put a $3 off coupon which is still scamming me because that's $16.

>>21504223
Nice, congrats on the new job!

>>21504634
How long have you had that?

>>21502899 (OP)
Every single "trade deal" that announces a tariff is an announcement of how much extra you will be paying for every product from that country.

If you are in the C-Suite, on the board, or own enough stock in a company to influence the market you will be making money to cover the differences by selling your products in those countries at a maybe cheaper rate.

But if you aren't then its just the floor percentage of what you will pay, most companies will increase it by more because who knows if it will go up more tomorrow. It will never go down because they will make less money.

>>21505521

You are a faggot and a liar. The tariffs are paid by the importer. If the importer tries to pass the cost along via price increases, then you simply don't buy the import. Tariff avoided. Simple.

>>21505521
Colombia will pay the tariff!

>>21505633
>If the importer tries to pass the cost along via price increases, then you simply don't buy the import. Tariff avoided. Simple.
Meanwhile in reality Trump's first term tariffs all resulted in price increases, both because importers had to raise costs to offset the tariffs, and because local producers could then get away with raising costs once the importers did, and those were only a fraction of the retarded bullshit he's doing now. And of course that's completely leaving aside the fact that there are no "local versions" of shitloads of products from electronics to coffee which means you're eating a price increase no matter what because Trump had a melty that Madagascar doesn't buy enough shitty American cars.

>>21505146
I would agree with you but there's a slight hitch: I know that we will likely never use the grinder ever again and it will simply collect dust and take up space. Otherwise, I'd be all for it but, like you, if we were the sort of people to use whole bean to begin with, we'd have had a grinder already. Or I would've bought one without having to mention it here.
We haven't the space in our tiny-ass house for an item that will get no use. That's why >>21503405 doesn't live here. She's entirely useless.

>>21505670
>there are no "local versions"
That's the point. Tariffs are great but ideally imports would be blocked entirely. Local products will never compete with ones from countries where housing jews don't take 90% of worker income. Unless you want to address the real issue, local needs to be the only option.

>>21505529
Tariffs are sent directly to the US Treasury, into a "general use" slush fund. The elites then just get nebulous business contracts awarded, and pocket the money directly.

Im a machinist.
In his first term, he irreparably damaged the local industry when he implemented tariffs *directly* on machine tools and tooling for some reason, and trashed the price of raw metal with tariffs. He shut down tons of hundred year old small mom and pop machine shops. We already run on razor thin margins.

The new blanket tariffs (and the targeted metal tariffs) are going to shake out the rest of the small shops who were lucky to weather the storm years prior.

The mom and pop shops are the ones that have AC, give young guys apprenticeships out of high school, teach them real skills, pay them well above average and care about their workers to keep them long term.

The other big conglomerate shops are dirty, dingy, dangerous places who hire from temp agencies and pay minimum wage to absolute morons. No skill, push a button, get fired for not working 60 hours a week.

Sad state of affairs and things are only going to get worse.
You either go to school, get a degree, then get expensive certifications to work in aerospace machining, or you work in slum shops. There is no longer in between.

No he is right to a degree. I work in an industry that deals with this. When someone tries to pass on tariffs to us we say absorb it or we will find a different product to use.

You'd be surprised how often they buckle. Doesn't always happen, depends on the product, but when they dont we follow through with our threat and buy from somewhere else.

Remember, so long as there is an alternative, the buyer always has an advantage over the seller.

>>21518236
I don't even like beef very much and I agree with you but the reason is probably because it's always too damn lean. Give it a similar 80/20 ratio as burger beef usually is and it would likely taste fine. I had this problem with ground chicken. Always lean in my area until I asked the butcher to run some frozen chicken fat through the mincer for me. I combined the ground up fat with the ground chicken and it tasted great. Used it to make chicken sausage or something. Pretty sure I posted the entire process of making the sausages when I did.

youre missing the point completely. it was "why do people shop at walmart" and the answer is because they have everything in one spot. no other store does that. you cant get your tires changed, pick up a prescription, buy a ps5, get a rotisserie chicken, and get your grandma some new slippers all in the same store anywhere else. just because krogers has batteries and food does not make it the same as walmart
