Tariffs: the final straw
For some, tariffs are what tipped them over the edge. “Tariffs are the ice cream on the cake of a perfect storm,” Brown said.

Without tariffs, U.S. soybeans shipped to China would undercut Brazil’s prices. With them, American crops can’t compete. Yet a Purdue University survey found that 70% of producers still believe tariffs will ultimately strengthen U.S. agriculture — if they can survive long enough to see the benefits [7].

IIRC, there was a farmer bailout during Trump 1.0. I guess we're now going to do another one.

On a side note, I was talking to a pharmacy owner recently and she told me she is having a tough time staying open due to problems filling people's prescriptions.

She just said she is having troble getting the medications. I didn't get to into it. She is my Mom's RX for a lot of years. She called me to ask why my Mom hasn't stopped in or called for a few weeks.

It's good you have a pharmacist that cares about your mom enough to check in on her.

In today's world, we miss some of that.

If she's a hollerer, she'll be a screamer.
If she's a screamer, she'll get you arrested.


Also missed that Econ class where reducing supply lowers prices***
