Must be a mistake. Here’s what I saw a minute ago on Amazon:
Still $106+ when I look. 
Figured it out…I’m looking on Amazon Fresh, you were on Whole Foods
Still has to be a mistake. Amazon Fresh lists Kerrygold butter for $5.59 for 8 ounces and $57.29 for 14 ounces.
The cinnamon and sugar one?
Yes, that one’s listed for $106, but as much as I hate the Cheeto’s tariffs, a $103 markup can’t be anything but a mistake and not due to a tariff.
My initial post on this was definitely tongue in cheek

Kerrygold has always been among the most expensive Irish brands here in the UK, but not THAT expensive!
Apparently they’ve yet to send the cinnamon sticks to the UK, but the garlic and herb ones in Tesco over here are just £1.95. I estimate when the cinnamon ones arrive here, they’ll retail at around £2.49.
Even Kerrygold wouldn’t try to charge two-thirds of the price of a new Chromebook for cinnamon sticks. I suspect someone at Amazon is taking the piss.
EDIT: think I’ve found the answer.
Just booted up Amazon to find out what they’re charging. Couldn’t find the cinnamon sticks, but I did find the packs of butter. The website, if you don’t look carefully, illustrates an 8 ounce block of butter, and cites a price of $122. BUT, and this is a BIG but, that’s the price for TWENTY blocks of butter in a job lot. There’s a “20 pack” sign on the top right hand of the butter illustration. So that $122 price tag is for TEN POUNDS IN WEIGHT OF BUTTER.
But even so, $6.10 for 8 ounces of butter strikes me as bloody steep, even if it’s Kerrygold. That’s close to £5 here in the UK. While here in the UK, our supermarkets are charging £2.80 for a 250 gram block (that’s a bit more than 8 ounces), which is closer to $3.20.
Is the Orange Scrotum levying an 85% tariff on Irish butter?
Well…in the screen shot I captured, it says it’s $30.55 per ounce. Further down on the same page it further describes it as a quantity of one with a shipping weight of 3.53 ounces.
Oh FFS is there no end to the perfidy of the American system?

I’m afraid not. And it’s getting worse every day.

Texas governor orders police to find and arrest Democrats who fled over redistricting
“Texas House Republicans on Monday voted 85-6 to authorize the House sergeant-at-arms and related officers to track down and civilly arrest Democrats who fled the state in protest of GOP redistricting efforts.”

BREAKING: James Comer has announced the House Oversight Committee will be subpoenaing:
- Bill and Hillary Clinton
- Merrick Garland
- James Comey
- William Barr
- Robert Mueller
- Loretta Lynch:
- Eric Holder
But neither trump nor Maxwell were subpoenaed.
I’m given to understand that the “justice” department (has to be in scare quotes these days) is moving behind the scenes for a full-on show trial and not only charges, but arrests, are planned. Obama is on the list.
It’s going to be an interesting summer and fall [sigh].
It’s all a smokescreen to divert attention from the Epstein scandal and the Cheeto’s part in it. Bread and circuses for the masses.

It is but it’s no less ghastly for all that.
Also a memo has surfaced from Phil Hesgeth – Pete’s brother, a (unqualified) senior advisor to Christy Noem, with a plan to get the military on board with helping ICE and border patrol to round people up by force, etc. I doubt the military brass will be very enthusiastic but who knows … I don’t think most folks would have predicted we’d be this far down the shitter this fast. I didn’t, and I wasn’t very optimistic to start with.
