We literally provided military intervention so Chiquita and Dole could own the banana market in the Americas. Like, we knew this 100 years ago.

The rollbacks will focus heavily on beef and citrus products. In the Midwest, ground beef is up more than 11% year-over-year and more than $3 per pound over the last decade. Chuck roast is up 21.5% y-o-y. Bananas up 8.6% and orange juice up 12%, y-o-y.

Every automotive supplier in the world wanted to do this 10 years ago and it made the CEOs sound inept and grandiose. Be what your good at. Tech is a tool for most companies, not their identity.

Presidents forever have been the victims or beneficiary of the economy. But this is also not true. Natural gas (+15.3%), electricity (5.6%), ground chuck (13.5%), etc., etc., etc. are all up since Trump took office. Very few things (eggs & gasoline) have come down in price.
