I DO NOT drink coffee. NEVER cared for it.

I think coffee is too important for the USA for that to happen.
Plus there's plenty of other sources.

Coffee is for automatons. Cuts blood flow to the brain by 50%. Garbage, get rid of it.

No.
My boss gives me free coffee, and he'd never give me something that's bad for me.

Coffee is nice enough, it helps in a society that forces you to have less free time than working time.

Your boss would kill you and eat your flesh at the first sign he might be without.

Brazil would collapse without us. Their people are already some of the worst off.

If it's either surrender or no coffee, then all I can say is, I GIVE UP!

we do not.. but coffee prices have nearly doubled here in netherlands too...
there is just a shortage of coffee

1 the plantations there are are often old (colinial time)
2 the price of coffee is so low it does not profit to plant new ones
3 the plantations that do excist are overused.. soil erorion... etc
4 monocultures.. the heavy industrial style has made pests a massive issue that kills many trees that are not replaced.
5 climate is changing, droughts kill many trees
6 overpopulation in coffee producing nations.. putting a higher demand on land and water for food production...
7 anticolonial feelings.. and racism against whites on the rise.. coffee is seen as a colonial product as is producing it for export
8 rise of wealth in asia, increasing demand for luxery products including coffeee

the price of a kg of coffee has gone up in the last 4 months by nearly 40% and we have no extra tarifs.... and the next price increase of 25% cant beavoided most stores emptyu shelves exept those who went ok with that extra 25% . so thats nearly 70% price increase in 6 months.

coffee was about 10-12 euro per kg 6 months ago.
now is closer to 18-20 euro per kg

we soon can expect coffee to cost 30 euro per kg..perhaps even more...
