…costs have had time to trickle down through the American wholesalers to the retailers to the consumers. And it’s not just products imported from other countries into America. It’s anything that contains parts or materials from other countries to produce consumer goods in America. Supply chains are…
…going to be disrupted in many cases because companies can’t afford the new cost of their materials with the additional tariffs. It will force them to either find new suppliers in America, or if that’s a non-starter, decide if it’s still profitable to make their products. Shelves may have not…
…just have more expensive items in American stores, but there may be many shelves that are simply empty. Only time will tell. Then there are the non-financial impacts. Canadians , for example, are downright furious that we’re going to see many factories closing. Good jobs permanently disappearing…
…and Trump still threatening to ANNEX us and take away our very sovereignty! Virtually everyone here is working hard to buy Canadian, or at least avoid buying American. It’s like your best friend kicked you in the teeth and said you MADE him do it. We’re confused, angry, frustrated, terrified and…
…can’t figure out why any of this is happening. History will not be kind to this bizarre period in American politics. Their worldwide image has already been shattered. Think of the worldview of America just a few short years ago when Obama made his first world tour. You were rock stars with the…
…best front man in history. People literally clamoured in the streets to see him. Now? They put up signs warning that a FOREIGN FELON is coming! That kind of lost soft power could take generations to recover….if it ever does. It’s so sad. I used to really love America. We ALL lose. FUCKING TRUMP!!!
Some have started already, but maybe not big enough (yet) to shock MAGA. P&G is anticipating an additional billion dollars in costs for fiscal year 2026 because of the tariffs. So some products' prices increase ± 5% this month. On household products purchased regularly, not an occasional fun item.
Lots of items will go up significantly. But many don’t realize that it takes time. Saw a report that the average car will increase by $4,000. Meaning many folks will be forced to hold off on buying a new one for a few years. Slows auto market. Potential loss of jobs. It’s a vicious cycle.
