"If Trump’s full slate of tariffs goes into effect in a few months, the pain won’t stop at Chinese grocers. Vietnam is facing some of the steepest proposed tariff hikes. South Asian grocers might see seasonal delicacies like Alphonso mangoes get more expensive, if they can get them at all. ('Crying in H Mart' may soon take on a new meaning.)"

I had not thought of this yet. 😡

The Atlantic · Tariffs Are Coming for the Chinese Grocery StoreBy Karen Yuan

Gotta love that Amazon is trying to do to grocery stores what it did to bookstores: sell at a loss until you drive the competition out of business, then jack up prices.

I have mixed feelings, given the overall price gouging in the grocery industry, which retail stores are definitely colluding on. Many of the major stores are owned by the same parent companies. So they are evil, yes. But that doesn't mean being at the mercy of a billionaire's monopoly game is any better.

So far the Fediverse has seen multiple reports of severe weather, tornadoes and flooding but nobody I've seen yet has included warning about evacuating livestock--Oklahoma's KOCO 5 breaks that mold by issuing a detailed warning to farmers to evacuate livestock and farm equipment to higher ground...which raises the question as to whether or not Texas even thinks in those terms.

Earlier prognostications for cattle has been low herd numbers because drought diminished grazing fields as well as hay production for the winter...now we have a flooding threat. And you thought chickens were a problem.

This is a man who has never fed himself.

He’s been weird about this for months.

#Trump: "I inherited a groceries situation. The groceries went way up. An old fashioned word, but it's a very descriptive word."

What is he talking about?

They are literally called #grocery stores, everyone who doesn’t have butlers, maids, & chefs uses the word #groceries.
