Chickpeas Sit In Silos As Trump's Trade Wars Wage On

It's a shame to read this, but as they say, elections have consequences, and not just for who ends up on the Supreme Court. There are second and third order effects for all these policies that are being put into effect, that I don't think were really thought through by the administration.

I went to college just a few miles from Moscow, Idaho that was mentioned in the article. WA State Univ is in the middle of farm country in Pullman, WA, which is right next to the WA- ID border. Back then the drinking age in WA was 21 and 18 in ID. So every weekend there was a solid line of cars on this dark, two lane road that connected WSU with Moscow, ID with WSU students going to Moscow to drink. The road ran through wheat fields as far as the eye could see. Then early in the morning you had to brave the highway of death as all the drunk students tried to drive back home in that same road. It was common to see several cars off the road in the wheat fields on Saturday morning.
