16.11.2025 20:22 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I predict removing the tax will spike demand which will clear stock faster than the supply chain can react resulting in higher prices to get stock destined for other countries, or worse empty shelves. And there is nothing to stop the tariffs being put back on again once there is a rarity bump, too.

Flag hangers may be the conned, but they are also the complicit... does compassion come when they stop and put down the tools? 2/2

15.11.2025 09:25 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0So it may only bring prices down short term until the additional unscheduled demand clears stock, at which point it's pay growers more until supply can react and ramp up again. So not a quick fix, and that's assuming tariffs are not reapplied later which would then compound short supply prices. 2/2
15.11.2025 08:53 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0A prediction from 3k miles away. Dropping tariffs will get rid of that tax but extra demand may mean paying growers more to get stock destined for other countries until supply stabilizes. It takes 3/4 years for a coffee/fruit tree to mature to production, and about 20 months to grow beef cattle 1/2

So inspired was I by #makeaterriblecomicday2025 I've made a second one just 4 months after the event - now with experiments in colour!

Its going "THRUMMMM" Panel 2 - we see though the microwave door there is an egg in an egg cup. "MMMMM" continued, egg starts going "SQUEEEEE" Panel 3 - Close up on the microwave timer. 4 seconds to go, microwaves "MMMM" continues, eggs "EEEEEE" continues. Panel 4 - close up on the persons eyes looking down. "MMMM" continues, "EEEEE" continues. Panel 5 - close up on the egg exploding. "MMMM" continued, "EEEE" ends with an abrupt "SPLUT!" Panel 6 - close up on the microwave timer, "MMM" ends with a "BING!", speech bubble below the timer says "FUCK!"
#makeaterriblecomicday2025 was so much fun I was inspired to actually create one... but didn't get my act together until now, 4 months later. Enjoy!
13.11.2025 22:51 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Lovely letter! I have a Christmas morning tradition of going to the mini-mart to get batteries for the toys Santa got my kids and didn't include them, the cheapskate bastard. I gaze upon the ashen-grey faces of those forced to work Xmas day and hope my presence has validated their lives somehow.
13.11.2025 20:12 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I remember the wisest words i'd ever eared tp that point in an episode of B&B:
"Ha. Ha ha ha. Hey Bingus. This part of the song SUCKS. Ha ha ha."
"Well duh, if there wasn't a part of the song that REALLY sucked, it'd ALL suck."
This is why most people i know who game on them now have 2+ phones. When they get to 80% they just pick up a new one with the minimum specs they need. What a waste when a decent storage handset is, basically, an extra $60 in production costs not thousands.
