    yup.

    due to imperialism and our own comprador capitalists, our crops are meant for export and profit first, food second.

    with the tariffs they are forced to sell it to us. and they are forced to price it in reais, not dollars.

    trump is throwing even our loyal (to them) burgeoise under the bus and i don’t think he even gave it a thought.

    it’s simply delicious.
