Not a lot of domestic coffee production. I'm pretty sure there would be riots in the streets if coffee was $65/lb.
- pc86 2y agoIf it gets people to stop buying 1200 calorie starbucks drinks with 70g of sugar in them it will be worth it /s
- nancyminusone 2y agoNah, it'll just change to 100% sugar and 120000 calories.

- ceejayoz 2y agoHave you seen one of us when someone's between us and coffee? We're sleepy if we need coffee. We're angry when we can't have coffee.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoIf people are unhappy with the outcome of harmful, irrational policy, they should feel empowered to riot. The government and representation is supposed to work for the people, after all. Accountability is important in governing systems.
- xnx 2y agoI agree. I wondering what it would take to get through to the average person that voted for this administration.
- fuzzfactor 2y agoIf it's only inconveniences like $65 coffee that sets touchy people off enough to storm the Capitol or something, that's definitely not a riot. It's been fully proven by the party in power to be a legitimate demontstration of opinion. What would it take anyway . . . ?
- h2zizzle 2y agoEmpathy. If well-off people were to fully understand the situation the rest of us find ourselves in, and the increasing likelihood that it will eventually become a problem for them, too, they'd put all of their HOA-busybody/PTA-pearl-clutcher/campaign donor might behind solving the issue. They are currently in "ignore it, it doesn't effect me, it's not my problem" mode, heavy.
