10. Where is coffee on the food pyramid? How about chocolate?

I'm being facetious, but let's face it - everything is up from a few months ago. E-v-e-r-y-thing!

I'm a regular consumer of coffee and I can barely afford it anymore. Chocolate has become an occasional luxury, almost a thing of the past. Why? Because they are imported from other countries and our idiot president started his whole bullshit-barf-extravaganza about tariffs on everything imported.

The prices on all those imports when up immediately and they are never coming back down. They SHOULD come down, but they won't. The Supreme Court says he can't charge tariffs, but the prices will never go back down. We. Are. Screwed.
