Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, will a tariff rollback finally bring down grocery store prices?
Then movie stars just aren't putting butts in seats anymore.
Will Trump's tariff rollback lower grocery prices?
It's Monday, November 17th. Let's ride. Let's ride.
It is great to be back, though I missed hanging out with you all very much.
Why aren't Hollywood stars attracting audiences anymore?
Toby, thanks to you and our guest host for holding down the fort last week. And I got to say, that mullet is growing in very nicely. I realize you guys didn't talk about this, so I wanted to mention something that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called a small but happy win. ChatGPT's answers will no longer be littered with em dashes if you tell it not to. In the last few months, people have recognized that ChatGPT uses an unusual amount of long em dashes when it answers your questions, so it got pretty hard to disguise AI writing as anything else. But Thursday night, Altman wrote that if you tell ChatGPT not to use em dashes in custom instructions, it finally does what it's supposed to do.
This has been a long time coming for me personally because the M-Dash holds a special place in my heart because I learned about them when I got hired to write for Morning Brew. I was reading some of my college writing recently, which don't do that, but my Dash game frankly stunk. Then it became awesome once I was introduced to the M-Dash. I think it was by you yourself. I did get a little addicted to it as a lot of people have. It is a little bit of a divisive, you know, punctuation mark into the writing community because some call it a crutch. Some say that it's just lazy writing. But then the M-Dash was just corrupted for all of us when AI became so ubiquitous with using this, which helped wean people off.
But hopefully now it can be reclaimed by humanity. So I'm pretty excited about this.

President Trump sought to address rising grocery prices with an order on Friday that reduces tariffs on hundreds of goods people buy for their everyday food needs, including tomatoes, coffee, nuts, beef, coffee, bananas, and avocados. After Republicans got drubbed in elections two weeks ago, the message was sent loud and clear. Americans are finding basic goods unaffordable and they want prices to stop going up. and the grocery store is exhibit a average retail prices for ground beef are up 11.5 over last year and bananas have jumped 8.6 coffee as we caffeine addicts know is more expensive than ever with ground rose coffee prices spiking 40 from last september all of those price increases are much higher than the total rate of inflation which stands at about three percent annually were tariffs a factor
the White House seems to acknowledge as much with the implication that reducing tariffs will also reduce prices. Erica York at the Tax Foundation said, by admitting that lowering tariffs will lower prices for U.S. consumers, the Trump administration is acknowledging what economists have pointed out all along, Tariffs raise prices across the board. 74% of U.S. food imports face tariffs as of August. The tariff reversal is also a concession that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to tariff goods that almost never come with a made in the USA sticker.
