If Columbia were to provide less coffee (some producers only sell through a lottery) due to Trump’s newest tantrum, the pain to Americans will be real. Folks are gonna be jonesing for a coffee fix, feeling more and more like a king and a coffee tax.

MORBO THE ANNIHILATOR HAS FOUND HIS SECOND CAREER
About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

How bad are tariffs going?
I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.
UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.
That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

PRESIDENT TRUMP LEARNED EVERYTHING HE KNOWS ABOUT NEGOTIATION FROM THE HEROIC DEALMAKER ZAPP BRANNIGAN
I'd love to know the tariff strategy tbh. You can't secure a single deal with 90 days, so instead, you blow up any negotiations you had with a new random tariff rate, but this time, you only have two weeks to negotiate.
Like I'd sincerely love to know what the advice about this is right now.

MORBO WILL BE CHEERING ON THE BOND VIGILANTES IN THEIR CRUSADE AGAINST THE BOER MENACE
A colleague pointed out that as of 2 weeks ago there is now a publicly traded (well, if you're an institution) XAI/X security, their 5 year general corporate bond. It's already lost 5% of its value and now has about a 13.5% yield.

(2/3) recently released is even more absurd and indefensible. I predict we will do 3, 4, or even 5 times the amount they purposefully “allotted” to us (1.8%) and, with just our minimum expected 3% Growth, we will more than offset our Tax Cuts (which will, in actuality, cost us no
