You’d be right in theory - the cost of logistics should scale with weight or volume, not price - but we’ve already seen from the price shocks over the last few years that in reality corporations will always take the opportunity to price gouge on any upstream change, even when it has no impact on their costs.

But even putting aside the fact that capitalism will take it’s cut, you’re citing the potential impact of 700% price increases, but I’m not ruling out the possibility of 7,000% increases or higher. With the potential scale of impact that we could see from climate change, and how it affects delicate ecosystems like those in which coffee grows well, that’s not outside the realm of possibility.

In this economy?

Where else do you save your tired fucks?

Coffee is quite sensitive to environmental factors and only grows in certain specific regions as a result. Those factors are being upended by climate change. Coffee is going to very rapidly become a luxury product.

Billionaires don’t care. Twenty dollars or two dollars for a cup is effectively the same price to them; insignificant. It’s the rest of us that get fucked.

Cool, have fun twiddling your thumbs while you wait for the rapture - sorry, the revolution - and the world burns down around you.

Yeah, ironically by bragging about how much of their tourism comes from Canada he’s just telling us how much they have to lose.

If you and your partner don’t do this kind of thing, find another partner.

I’m dead serious, I’m forty this year and my wife and I do dumb goofy shit all the time. “Acting like an adult” means paying your bills on time, opening a TFSA, all that dumb boring shit. But it also means finding time to do stupid shit and remember all the joy in life.

DeSantis tried to play it off by pointing out how many Canadians still chose to visit Florida anyway… In 2024.

So, apparently he thinks we have time travel.

What you have is rapidly encroaching fascism. What you need is any solution that gets you out of that.

You’re not looking for ideal. You’re looking for workable. You’re going to have a lot more success pushing forward leftist candidates in a party that already has an established base of support than you are in trying to somehow build sufficient momentum for a viable third party in a country that has basically never had viable third parties.

Your don’t have to be the Tea Party in order to replicate their success.

It might be better if you got some glorious new socialist workers party that appeared out of nowhere, but Santa doesn’t have any of those in his sack right now. Work with what you have.

You’re right and you should say it. Progressives in America need to execute a takeover just like the Tea Party did on the right. Primary out every moderate Dem.

You won’t win em all, but you’ll win enough to fundamentally change the direction of the party.

Primary the fuckers
