Trumpkin rationalization: the investors were elitist Libs, so that means it was a 5D chess move to screw them over and own them decades before owning them as President.

In fairness, it’s at least more honest than the Congress members who have been made extraordinarily wealthy due to their insider trading.
Christ, the Maxine Waters was elevated despite being a proven crook.
At least Obama got rich on Netflix deals and book sales.
I could probably make a go at this. I’ll just set up an Irish grass-fed beef company and have the profits funneled into a Delaware LLC.
I’ll package it with Irish ‘raw spring water.’ I’ll then make a sack company to hold all my money.

You won’t make a dime off me. I get the regular ass cheap steaks from the grocery store. I save the lawn clippings and cook those steaks with my own grass. All the benefits of grass fed beef at a fraction of the cost.
Genius!

Well, obviously I can’t sway the ingenious types like you. The Boston Irish and Silicon Valley rubes, however, will buy anything.

Butter! You get to keep the cows and use them to make more.
I had to try some Irish butter from the grocery store. It looked too good to pass up. Turned out pretty good, but not a couple extra dollars good.

We get that shit as standard. Was it kerrygold, perchance?
Yes it was. Is that the basic, not at all special brand over there?

Basic, ubiquitous, and widely popular.
It’s not the bargain brand, to be fair, but it isn’t some kind of top shelf luxury.
Ha! That’s funny. It is, literally top shelf in the stores I go to.
I read up on it a little, (glowing reviews) then tried it. I honestly thought maybe I was missing something. I guess not though.

My wife is crazy for the Kerrygold butter.
In NYC the majority of stores selling supposedly “luxury” European food (delis in Little Italy and several stores in Battery Park City come to mind) are actually selling stuff from European discount supermarket chains at ridiculous markups.

As long as raw Irish spring water means whiskey, I’m in

I can totally believe that because I’m not well traveled or versed in real provincial foods, but I’m totally a sucker for it.
Just slap a label I can’t read on there and I’ll pay double for it. I remember that box of Israeli figs you posted one time. Enamored with the idea, I went out and found some. They could have been the stuff scrapped off of tires from their orchards, but damn, they were good.

Makes sense, otherwise where’s the vig?
Gaelic for whiskey is Uisce beatha, which means ‘water of life.’

The really sad part is that farmers, Coals Miners and worker’s in certain industries are being used as pawn’s and props so that Trump can portray this image as some “fighter for the working man”.
It’s sickening.
Can’t speak for all farmers and coal miners, but pfury family back home is getting itchy over the trade war.
When you fuck up business and then just throw welfare at it, people have to remember it’s only the farm owners seeing that welfare. All the support brackets are feeling the pain right now.
Pretty interesting look at what we get and what % China is supplying to US.
Some items are truly head-shaking, but likely due to EPA regulations or highly dependent on labor input in cost factoring.

That would imply that there are no other expenses incurred in ag production - equipment, fuel, wages, storage.
While l am against production for the sake of ‘pouring milk out on the ground, because we were paid to produce it’ and because it goes against free enterprise, there is a sensibility in keeping key survival industries in house. Food, obviously.
