Antoher friendly reminder of why we have to buy European products: tariffs to all agriculture products going to USA from next month. We still don't know the percentage, but anyway, buy European as long as you can!

I'm excited for the price of food to go up again in the US...

But you see he certainly isn't at fault for the price increases, how could he when he is more golfing than leading the country:D

clementines don't exist as US product. Olives are just better in Europe. Seasonally, grapes and other fruits come from southern hemisphere due to growing seasons. This is a very silly policy.

You know, maybe there's a silver lining to this bullshit. A large part of our climate issue is related to agriculture, and reducing the eating of out of season items that incur additional carbon costs may be beneficial. We grow enough food in the US that these aren't foods that are "needed," just desired.

I'd rather we solve energy use of shipping, but you have a point.

What could be more patriotic than scurvy with some bland olives?
