Scariest.....think how bad it's going to be when coffee becomes unavailable. Not just expensive, but just unavailable.
1964 coffee was about $.50- .78 cents a pound.

Today a 1964 half dollar will buy you about a pound of good coffee beans.
Just add, I hope that we can still get coffee for 1/2 ounce of silver a pound. After it becomes
Unavailable.

I buy 5 lb of green coffee beans a month through a subscription service with a place in Georgia (USA, not Europe
) and I get billed ~$24 monthly for it. So roughly ....real rough... about 5 lb green beans per oz.DW asked when I was going to cancel the subscription, and I said when I had enough. She's not a coffee drinker so one bag would be a lifetime supply for her LOL Working on converting her to coffee from tea. At least coffee doesn't come from overseas.
So this coffee you're buying from Georgia, is grown in Georgia USA?

No sir. It's imported by them from Chiapas, MX. There are no seas to cross from there to here

Interesting, I had no idea, but as I thought about it, yea I could see it.

One int'l border to cross, and it's an artificial construct anyway. It's just a damn river dividing families arbitrarily, historically speaking. Once things break down to the point that coffee's unavailable, border monitoring on the lower Rio Grande is going to be flippin IMPOSSIBLE anyway. And if there's a market here for Mexican coffee, Mexicans will bring Mexican coffee to Texas. Hell, they already bring their Guatemalans and THOSE are illegal to import!
