Switzerland decides to keep emergency coffee stockpile after public outcry
In April, the Swiss government announced it would scrap its emergency stores of coffee beans because it considered the item to be “nonessential.” The public emphatically disagreed and, on Monday, the Swiss government announced it would not proceed with its controversial plan, according to Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger.
Better safe than sorry.
We had two opium wars, but so far no coffee wars. If it had to happen, I don’t think gunboat diplomacy could be effective.
