Fuck you
Tax increases on the middle class, disabled, elderly and poor Americans to subsidize billionaires. That's what these tariffs are.
Our favorite toilet paper at Costco has been out ….
I stocked up on TP from Wegmans -- which is imported from Canada.
What’s Wegmans?
A (upscale) grocery store chain headquartered in Rochester, NY. Seems like their supply chain has a lot of Canadian goods.
How about elections!? Where can we the people buy one of those?
At your local GOP Sec of State's office, of course. But two and get the volume savings!
err, "buy" two hey, collect 'em all !
I thought the Post was only publishing propaganda since Bezos kissed the ring
When you hear the word tariff, but picture a custard pie, the whole thing becomes easier to understand.
#Trump is folding like a cheap suit on #trariffs.
WaPo's owner is that amazon 🤡
We should all stop buying everything, except essentials. No new cars, electronics, cheap clothing, fast food, etc. We buy way too much useless crap. Peasant-ize now and avoid the rush.
Nope. No quick things to note because Landscape will change again next month. In like first Trump said he made mistake Mr. Garcia....Yet now states 'Keep him where he is-Not returning to America'
This is sane washing. The tarrifs will keep changing until something shinier distracts the lunatic in chief.

U.S. President Trump recently levied a 145% tariff on Chinese imports. The tariffs are expected to shrink trade between the world’s two largest economies from a recent annual peak of nearly $700 billion to almost nothing.
REPUBLICANS DON'T CARE. THEY NEVER DID AND NEVER WILL. STOP VOTING FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR WELL-BEING.
On the electronics side buy only if you need: iPhones and other smartphones, laptops, e-bikes and video game consoles, says tech columnist Shira Ovide.
I’ll be keeping my iPhone until it dies. I don’t have a laptop, e-bike, television, video game console, tablet.
U.S. levies on semiconductor chips, smartphones and laptops are in fact still in the works, and will be determined in a month or two, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and other top Trump administration officials asserted Sunday.
Maybe true but maybe not immediately either. I thought Amazon flew 3 planes full of iPhones & electronic equipment to the US a few days ago in an effort to be here before the tariffs?
For everyday items, don't stockpile toilet paper, paper towel and other pantry items. Buy only what you need, says personal finance columnist Michelle Singletary.
Columnist Michelle Singletary also advises to get a car now if you can't fix it anymore. If can you make repairs, even if it's $1,500, hold on to your car.
Or wait. Seems to be a blinking type tariff atmosphere
Clothing hauls from Shein and Temu (two Chinese companies) could also get more expensive with the administration axing the “de minimis” loophole. Etsy sellers could also be affected.
Trump has increased the tariff to $75 per item. The reason the de minimis loophole was created was bc it cost more for our govt. to collect the taxes than they were making by collecting the taxes. This is going to hurt small businesses that depend on this loophole & well as hurt the economy.
Their orders and many other companies' orders are either pitiful examples of the attractive fashionable items they advertise OR never arrive at all but still they get our money. Sizes have no correlation to advertised measurements. Linen fabrics are bogus replaced with cheap polyester fabrics.
The U.S. imports about $200 billion in food each year. Among the top food items the U.S. imports from China, which has a much higher tariff rate, are tea, spices, fish and shellfish, and processed and fresh fruits.
Americans voted for a President who promised tariffs that had to lead to more expensive food, clothing and housing, just to fund tax breaks for himself & his clique. He delivered and now everyone's upset.
Perhaps MAGAs are not upset and may remain hopeful their dear leader will deliver the goods. That’s what cults are all about
Not enough people are upset enough honestly. Seems like a lot of people are just going with this insanity.
Every nation should immediately stop exporting everything to the U.S. for as long as necessary. Every nation who has them should immediately demand repayment of debts the U.S. owes them. Any nation the U.S. is holding gold reserves for should demand that gold be returned.
WE EUROPEANS HAVE A CONSUMERS LED BOYCOTT AGAINST TRUMPS USA! DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM USA!
It’s a cover-up for raising prices to clothe women and girls
A lot of toilet paper is made in Canada out of softwood lumber. It's tariffed by the great Orange menace. www.boxandpaper.ca/post/what-to...
This story screams: stockpile toilet paper like it's March 2020
😂😂😂😂🤬🤮
If you are worried about what to buy due to tariffs, you probably voted for the wrong person.
That doesn’t make any sense. I voted for the competent, sane lady precisely because I *didn’t * want this.
i know not to buy anything from the washington post
How much are printing costs going to go up for the WaPo, especially paper & ink? Asking for the rest of the US newspaper industry...
And to think, the owner and editors of the #WaPoo helped get this dictator into office.
A Real President for all Americans..
I'm not going to subsidize oligarchs. Not today or tomorrow!
NOT AMAZON!!!
@nick-carmody.bsky.social 🧵💰
Market manipulation, smells like a international arrangement to empty people pockets. Kind of a “Black Friday” world level …
Note this: Trump has isolated the US totally by withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and could reap the whirlwind. See thread. ⬇️ * Trump has reneged on net zero, ripping off the world * Musk is Mars first, working to kill net zero by installing Reform UK, AfD, Canadian Conservatives, etc.
It certainly won't be from Amazon.
Ah an advert for Amazon brought to you by fascism enabler Bezos.
Time for impeachment for this Tyranny!!!
lolz...I'm not buying anything bigger than groceries while this regime endures. This is not buisness as usual, Bezos
Aren’t most athletic shoes made in China?
Vietnam recently (to avoid Trump 1.0 tariffs)

Maybe your owner Bezos should have thought about the tariffs before he sucked Donald Trumps dick. Get fucked. Only buying bread and ramen noodles if that's what it comes down to. Not spending a cent on anything else.
First cancel your Washington Post subscription.
😂😂😂🤮🤮🤮
Products coming from Europe will be expensive. As I in 5 Americans enjoy Kerrygold butter it's gonna cost you guys a lot
If you're wondering what legacy media to purchase, consider one that hasn't kissed orange ass.
Funny thing…the media & press have had two days to ask Trump for a statement about the attempted assassination of Gov. Josh Shapiro. Yet… the same media & press that pushed Trump's Kotexed-Ear Fake Assassination attempt hasn't bothered Trump with a Shapiro question. bsky.app/profile/edhi...
