I'm totally on board with this move by the US Commerce Department. 107% import tax on Italian pasta? That's a small price to pay for protecting American consumers from being ripped off by foreign companies that don't play by the rules. Those La Molisana and Pastificio Lucio Garofalo guys have been skating around the system, underpaying their workers and undercutting local manufacturers. It's time someone held them accountable. And let's be real, American pasta fans are better off with higher prices for quality over quantity. We don't need all that cheap stuff flooding our stores anyway. The supply chain crisis thing is just a myth perpetuated by the importers who can't handle a little competition. Bring it on!
Dude, can you believe this? They're proposing a 107% import tax on Italian pasta?! That's just crazy! I remember when my mom would make spaghetti with meatballs for Sunday dinner, and it was always so flavorful... now I'm worried that it'll become super expensive. I mean, who's gonna want to pay double the price for something they love? It's not just about the pasta itself, but the whole cultural thing... like, when do we ever get a break from our favorite foods?
this is getting outta hand! 107% import tax on italy's famous pasta? that's just cruel. i mean, who thought it was a good idea to make american consumers pay more for their spaghetti and stuff. and what about all those italian companies that rely on exporting pasta to the us? they're gonna get hammered too. this whole thing feels like a protectionist nightmare
Ugh, this is crazy ! I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' plate of spaghetti with marinara sauce? The thought of it becoming super expensive and scarce is just heartbreaking . And the fact that these Italian companies might have to pull out of US stores altogether is devastating. It's not like we can just magically make more pasta in the States, you know?
And honestly, I feel for the little guy who's gonna get hit hardest – the American consumer. We're already dealing with so much stuff going on in our lives, and then you throw this onto us? No thanks .
I do hope something gets done to help these Italian pasta companies figure out what's going on and find a way to make it work again . And maybe we can all just take a deep breath and try to be patient for a sec? We'll get through this, folks !
oh man, this news is crazy! 107% import tax on Italian pasta? that's like a big fat price tag on our favorite spaghetti i mean, can u imagine if they started doing the same to our homegrown snacks or something? it just doesn't feel right
but at the same time, i get why they're trying to protect their own industries and all that
i'm kinda curious tho, is this gonna affect other countries too? do we see a global pasta price hike on our horizon? only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: it's about to get real expensive for us pasta lovers
I dont get why they gotta hit us with 92% duty on pasta I mean, I love Spaghetti Bolognese as much as the next person but it's not like we're importing some cheap Chinese stuff I'm sure most of the pasta in stores is still gonna be from Italy and they just wanna make more cash I hope those Italian companies can handle the new tariffs tho, dont wanna see them pull out
