Oh help. I've started calling random republiconned businesses

that are being ruined by the tariffs and poking them with a stick. I called the soybean association and asked them how they liked it and then told them my only comment was "bwahahahaha you've been republiconned!"

Oh, I must stop! But I want to call the nail guy in MO and laugh at him. Someone stop me before I dial again!

What tariffs are being slapped on businesses in your state? Take a few minutes talking before you laugh loudly and tell them thoughts and prayers for their bankruptcy.

Seriously I saw cherries yesterday for $.98 per pound! After reading this, I'm wondering if the wholesalers are just trying to get them out of their warehouses before they spoil.

I'm loving it though, for my budget anyway. Usually they are at least $3.98 per pound usually much more
