I take it you buy a lot of food from South African Farmers?

One would think Africa could consume everything that it produces, so how do tariffs adversely affect the farmers there? Maybe they want to sell their produce elsewhere at a higher profit and starve the people at home?

I gain no insight from your article, and I am not going to drop what I am doing and research your skimpy offerings.

It's difficult to make any meaningful sense out of what you post because there is zero economic analysis of the impact of tariffs on South African farm produce exports to the US versus increasing their exports elsewhere versus marketing their products domestically.

Your articles are all bitchin' and belly achin' appeals to leftwing touchy-feely emotional stupor.
