The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Same tomatoes (Product of Mexico) is now $2.65 (was $2.48-$2.49). Iceberg lettuce now $2.39 was sub-$2.00 last time"

definitely inflationary. In your example, tomato's up 6%, lettuce up 19%.
Americans are going to be feeling those tariffs and the deportation of ag workers.
Probably going higher on food products.

Trump is so proud of how much the Treasury is taking in via tariffs, he'll be crowing
non stop soon. His supporters will be doing backflips in their elation of paying more,
but no not really paying more, the foreigners pay the tariffs,lol. But the rest of us
will know we're getting screwed.
