I store them in the freezer in the garage. So far so good. But I certainly can’t do that with bananas, which are also a staple in the average American kitchen. Olive oil went up before I thought about it, but I’ve been buying California for quite awhile anyway. I just got two bottles of Californian from Costco (Pompeiian brand, which is confusing, but still) .
Trump is a damn idiot. The country is not “self-sufficient” in very much and hasn’t been in over 50 years thanks to many trade treaties and rampant deregulation of capitalism. I remember when at least one US steel mill was dismantled and sold to an Asian country. Taken apart! Shipped away! 
Honestly, do consumers ever read the labels that show where things are made or grown?
About 10 or 15 years ago, my daughter went on a kick about the necessity for children’s toys to be non-toxic in every way, and she was very specific about materials. It wasn’t just about her own, but the ideologically-driven daycare she operates. Okay, I’m all for natural and non-toxic (altho there’s plenty of toxic stuff in nature, which is why I don’t grow oleander) — but I hadn’t had to actually shop intensively for toddler toys in about 20 years. What I found after an exhaustive and exhausting search was that aside from a very few handcrafted and expensive wooden toys, there was nothing “made in the USA” much less non-plastic. Nothing.
Did I mention Trump is a damn idiot?
