          This is only going to hit home for him when it occurs to him that he can only have 2 Big Macs.

            Maybe he'll rename Black Friday to Gold Friday to honor his impact on sales?

              Northern Ireland already has Orangemen's Day on July 12th, so maybe he could co-opt that.

              It's generally commemorated with a bunch of bigoted old men wandering the streets going on about how great things used to be 100s of years ago and burning foreign flags, so he's pretty much there already.

                  Maybe, to improve the employment numbers, Trump may reach out to private sector CEOs and government departmental heads to tell them to hire more people ASAP?

                      At this point, I’m shooting for the silver lining that “pro labor” policies and labor unions might get sunk next administration or even mid this administration…

                            That’s odd… A 10% tariff on cocoa imports shouldn’t result in a 30% price increase. As the cost of the material is only a fraction of the production and marketing cost, it should be less than 10% overall. There’s more to that story.

                                He said it’s the price of cocoa, not tariffs

                                    I saw another report that said processed cocoa used in Reese’s has a 25% tariff.

                                        That still doesn’t account for a 30% price increase.

                                        The wholesale costs of cacao right now is $.15 per ounce. Hershey’s milk chocolate is 11% cacoa, or $.02 (rounding up) of cacao in every ounce. Reese’s PB cups have roughly 1.5 ounces of milk chocolate per cup, or $.03. There’s 2 cups per pack, so that’s $.06 of cacao per package. A 30% tariff on cacao would account for another $.02 per pack. Retail pricing on Reese’s are $1.99 per pack. A $.02 increase would be a 1% increase, not 30%.

                                          Isn’t it funny how in the DC Crime thread you discount anecdotal evidence in favor of official statistics, but in this case you discount statistics in favor of personal anecdotes?
