    We’re watching a political thriller irl in real time. Grab your popcorns, because you wont be getting anymore popcorn when the tariffs hit.

      Tariffs on corn in the USA? Home of the corn lobby? Are you sure?

        We produce mostly field corn, not popcorn.

          That’s fascinating, who makes fancy corn?

          Nah, looks like the US also produces popping corn.

          Mostly, but we don’t import our sweet corn, either. American agricultural output is insane, and has plenty of room for both types. We tend to import things that just don’t grow in most of the US, like coffee (Hawaii being the main exception on that one).

      There’s going to be an abundance of popcorn when other countries retaliate with their own tariffs.
