Is there a fricking walmart milk farm outside your house.

ETA: I didnt even know milk could get that low, shite I havent seen that in ages



I'm not sure why it's so low right now. I live in Georgia and after seeing her post I checked the Walmart by me online and they have a gallon of milk listed at $0.98. That's pretty wild, not that I'm complaining


Walmart

This is part of Trump's "affordability" push......eliminating the tariffs that they assured us would not make things un-affordable.

You are so dishonest. Cherry picking a chart but not showing the whole thing. I expect nothing less from a piece of shite like you.

ETA: Sally fact checked you into oblivion.

One thing that has gotten back down to ridiculously cheap is milk... I bought some on my Walmart app and was friggin shocked at how inexpensive it is.

66 cents for a half gallon, $1.08 for a gallon.


Not sure where you are finding milk at $1.08 a gallon

Unadulterated, instantaneous tariffs on basic things that apply to "Maslow's hierarchy of needs" will need to be adjusted.



And you want the federal government to pick the winners and losers. They can decide, for instance, that solar energy is a "basic need" because it will save us all from burning alive from global warming.

A tariff is a tax. Taxes are a necessary evil, but one way you reduce the evil is make the tax as broad as possible without exceptions. Exceptions and carve-outs are where corruption thrives.

It came from Bessent's mouth moron. He said food price relief was coming.

"You're going to see [a] substantial announcement over the next couple of days in terms of things we don't grow here in the United States. Coffee, coffee being one of them. Bananas, other fruits, things… that will bring the prices down very quickly," Bessent said during an interview on "Fox & Friends."

Let me clue you. The reason he says prices are going down is because of a reduction in tariffs is coming.


This will break a few folks.

Who knows. Can you not afford .23 a banana?
If i want Hawaii Coffee from lets say Green World im gonna pay a premium

If I dont want to spend that then I dont. Do you have that same choice

So besides these two terrible examples the clown crew provided lets see you break down what is costing you more from tariffs that you spend on daily

So even though Trumps tariffs have not raised but actually resulted in lower food prices, Trump is now going to remove those tariffs to even further help the struggling American people?

Seems like a weird flex for the libs.

More than 99% of coffee consumed in the US is imported, with domestic production limited to a small amount from places like Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

No idiot. You don't have a choice. If you buy coffee in the US, it is most likely going to imported.

You dont have a choice not to drink coffee?
