sam.baxendale: “As someone wisely said, your dipshit in chief thought the global economy was 14 years old, so decided to fuck it.”
There have been simultaneous bad harvests in Vietnam and Brazil so the world market price of coffee has gone up. The Trump tariffs then add to that.
Of course, the producers are just one link in the value chain and by the time you get a cup at a café, you might not notice it. I’ve not particularly noticed it here in Italy.
