USDA tariff tracker removes Wakanda, fictional home of Black Panther, as free trade partner.
and is home to superhero Black Panther. Different commodity groups offered on drop down menus range from fresh vegetables and unroasted coffee beans to essential oils and livestock.Yellow potatoes appear to maintain a “0.5 cent/kg” base rate when shipped in from the fictional East Africa nation, while frozen Chinese water chestnuts are tariff free if the United States decided to import them from Wakanda. Cows are also tariff free.
The website notes, however, that the “information displayed is not official and should only be used as a general reference. Each importing countries customs office maintains the right for final determination of tariff treatment.” It appears that Wakanda was listed as a free trade country with the United States sometime after June 10, according to the Internet Archive.
The USDA did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Wednesday morning, but Wakanda was removed from the website prior to 2 p.m. ET. Marvel also did not respond when asked how they felt that their fictional nation appeared to have negotiated a temporary trade agreement with the United States.“I was trying to figure out whether this is someone at the USDA making a joke or if it’s a developer who accidentally left it in, but I’m not sure,” he said.Joe Murphy

PETA Bought Starbucks Stock So Vegans Can Get Non-Dairy Milk for FreeNot to kick off another spate of rage over whether or not cow’s milk is bad (my email inbox is full sorry everyone!!!) but if you happen to prefer oat, soy, or nut milk in your coffee for whatever reason, your local coffee shop/national chain probably attaches a small surcharge to it. This is generally because non-dairy milks cost more, but it is always nice to see a complimentary almond milk pitcher alongside “whole” and “skim” on the condiments table. Thanks to PETA, that good fortune might befall you at a Starbucks in the near future.
