Maybe you shouldn't believe all you cut and post, and get out more in the real world and experience reality yourself? 

Or maybe you might try to join the modern world and understand that your little piece of it have very little significance on a larger scale.

Given this is a predominantly Thai forum, I really dont care to be honest, although I can recommend the tenderloin

 

Maybe you should take your anti Trump obsession onto a more relevant global forum for maximum exposure? 

 

Sawadee Khap, have a nice day.

No, this forum is not predominantly Thai. How many issues posted in this forum are relevant to Thailand?

Well if you and your email gang stopped posting Trump hate threads, it would not be completely about the USA.

Check out the homepage, all will become apparent.

And thanks for your homegrown definition of Socialism. Got any reputable source to back you up on that?

Are you arguing that socialism is not based on collectivism?

If it were up to me I'd just ban the 3-4 posters starting Trump hate threads.

I don't understand how posting comments about the USA stops members from posting about other countries.

I’m sure if someone were to take a look at their PM’s that they would find a brigade of planed out collision of thumbs down’ers. Maybe someone should look into this.

Thanks for the comedy.

3 bucks at trader joes

 

ironic because joe was the one who sent them to a dollar per egg

Well, Vietnam grows mostly robusta and the price for its coffee beans has escalated sharply. In fact, this is true for the price of robusta worldwide.

The point here is that for people like me here in Thailand bean prices have not escalated sharply if you know where to look. The raw bean is only a part of the overall selling price for roasted beans.

The objective statement is that you are ignorantly incapable of vetting and validating a raw scientific data in an article, plain and simple.

Anyone who claims an objective truth about someone they have no personal information about and not even any errors on their part to cite, hasn't a clue about what is objective and what isn't.

The main reason beef has become painfully expensive comes down to economics and climate: As global temperatures rise, shrinking cattle herds are straining the nation's beef supply even as demand remains strong...

The Trump administration this year has imposed new tariffs on several major coffee producers that export to the U.S. That includes a 50% levy on Brazil, a 10% tariff on Colombia and a 20% tax on Vietnam. In Brazil, that has led producers to withhold shipments as they negotiate with American roasters over who will absorb the added costs, throttling supplies in the U.S., according to investment bank UBS.

Basically, the 2 main reasons are climate change and tariffs.

I have a solution for you. Drink water and make powder cakes. Happy Happy!

Given that I replied to Novacova's comment that has nothing to do with the price of bananas, maybe  your comment should be directed at him?

Yep, especially when other bring RU & the world into the thread, so I added TH (AU) w/ USA price comparison, you know, to stay on topic 

 

Oh wait, I'm way off topic, as it IS about Trump 

... "The Trump administration this year has imposed new tariffs" ...

 

The title, simply a catalyst do spew delusional thoughts, as usually.

Also due to the absurd sanctions against Russia that are creating speculative inflation and shortage in the global markets, be it for crops or energy. But we all know that keeping the panic alight and spreading paranoia is very good...very good for selling arms and making Nations forget how bad their own leaders are like all over Europe or America.

Actually, coffee and beef (not sure about bananas) have become more expensive around the world, so, yes, mostly climate change (and less supply)...

I've seen similar points raised by people who post that the decline or rise in the value of the baht is dispositive proof that the dollar is either in trouble or doing well.  It's just not that important in the scheme of things.
