Will the trade war with China lower the price of lobster?

[Baitball Blogger]

25% of the lobster trade goes to China. Lobster industry is having trouble finding secondary buyers because of Trump's trade war.

Hey, you idiots who voted for Trump. Why didn't you see this coming?

Meanwhile, pass the butter. We're going to eat well at home at your expense.

Lobster is for the Elites.

2. Know your history. Lobster was fed to prisoners in Boston.

I'll meet you halfway if the price is right.

3. At a certain price point, they'll just stop going out to catch them.

Lobstermen aren't going to work for pennies.

All the trade war will create is people like the American Lobster workers... on the unemployment line.

5. Especially if the price of gas (or diesel) goes up

It costs money to take the boat out to catch lobster

6. Lots of food prices may go down domestically

Which sounds great until you remember we'd like to have a lobster or soy harvest in two years and won't if they all go out of business.

7. The small operators will go out of business. The big business operations won't.

We will have food, just from a concentrated source.
