Politically-motivated tea tax, what could go wrong?
what would the boston tea party equivalent for america be? dumping an entire mcdonalds worth in the sewers?
They wouldn’t handle it.
The Boston tea party was the American equivalent of the Boston tea party.
Tbh thats just one step less than how it normally works.

I am kinda surprised the banana country authorities let this happen at all
Chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, pepper, tea, bananas, and a fuckload of other things that are completely integrated into our regular diets are almost exclusively imported.
Sugar too. That ain't healthy and is kinda fancy but... Can you see them losing their shit over sugar prices? I do.
Tomatoes imports were 2.5B in 2023.
Apparently the us imports 15% of it's food supply.
That can't be right. Corn can't be only 85% of our food.
But seriously, there's so much goddamn corn. Our meat is fed corn. Our processed foods and drinks are pumped full of corn. Even our fucking cars eat corn. We're up to our fucking ears in ears of corn.
Based on what I find online, the us import about $2B in raw-sugar, while some (about 100M) is exported again.

How much "processed" sugar leaves the us again? I am not sure. Maybe all of it.

The government subsidizes corn, so there's an incentive to use that corn. There are tariffs on imported sugar so it's cheaper to use HFCS

I'd bet they exempt it. The corporate grinder doesn't really work without stimulants for the workers to purchase so they can work (and consume) more and sleep less.

Much of that is cotton. I believe that in the "good" ol' days the US grew that themselves. Start that industry up again, and you don't need mass deportations across the border.
Ah, yes...
All we need to keep that industry running like the good ol' days is a massive industry of government subsidized illegal immigration of easily identified persons
You could even run the farms the same way as in the olden days, if you criminalize and incarcarate enough black people.
I mean, that's how cotton is produced nowadays too, except Uyghurs are the ones doing it.
Well boy howdy, it turns out we already been done doin that there part about criminalizing and incarcerating them black people just out of sheer racism. You're telling me that there could've been a profit motive to it this whole time too?
jk, private contracted prisons were already profiting deeply off of that.

Most competent governments think like this goose because their believe in rules based order and systems. Trump doesn't ascribe to that view and I think he will make a sweeping change and will personally govern exceptions until it suits himself and his base. Hopefully that mangment consumes his time enough to make him less effective.
