      US has been overly protective of and generous to Israel since the day they completed Nazi Germany’s plan of moving “the Jews” to a new land. They even assassinated the first US president who called Israel out for having an unexplainable level of control over the US government.

        Let’s be fair here, the plan was the British’s. The Nazis just happened to vibe really hard with their plan, just like how they did with Jim Crow.

      stop all exports of kerrygold to the united states. I’m only half joking. hit us in the stomach. no more butter, no more cheese, no more beer. Those are our three favorite things in the whole world. Yes, more than oil. we can make all that stuff ourselves for way cheaper but holy shit do comfortable people love Irish dairy.

        Kerrygold priced themselves out, it’s $12 for 4 sticks here. I can get a pound and a half of Amish roll butter for less than that.

          Kerrygold is more expensive in my state at the local Costco, unless discounts are in play. About $16 IIRC. I either buy the cheaper but nearly identical Kirkland version, or stock up on sticks when the price is down. Got something like 10 cartons in the freezer. Sucks to pay $160 now, but the economy is going to make it at least $200 when the crops stop yielding much food.

          Due to the Hormuz crisis, it ain’t just gas, but also fertilizer for fields, that has been limited. That means less feed for the cattle, and everyone else who needs to eat something.

          These are troubled times. 😒
