Politics Liberation Day - The biggest tax hike in world history

[MickZagger]

Suburu and Nissan are closing plants in the U.S. Moving to Japan. They weighed it out and the tariffs were too taxing on them.

MAGA!

I'm sad I couldn't convince my ex to get solar on her roof last summer.

Do you guys and gals really think store shelves are going to be empty in a month?

The combination of supply chain disruption and panic buying is a powerful thing.

I think it will be weird shit. Beyond the stuff made in China, there will be things that are "made in America" but use Chinese-manufactured packaging. Thank god the eating Tide Pods fad is over, the Tide is made in the USA but the pods come from China. Barfo will have to go back to drinking it straight from the jug. Oh wait, the jug might be made in China, too.

Lots of packaging, the cheapest part of an item is made in China. So the item might be available but there is nothing to package it in and ship it to stores.

It's going to be interesting.

At least half dozen stories in today's San Francisco Chronicle about companies revising earnings estimate down, drastic drop in consumer confidence, loss of tourism revenue due to tariffs and well publicized abuse of foreign visitors with valid visas. So much winning!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Whew, glad he clarified that.

 

[Hoopguru]

trumps strategy is to get Unions on his side with hopes of them endorsing his tariffs.

 

[crandc]

Unlikely

 

[crandc]

Trump scolded Americans for spoiling children by buying them too much stuff. While he gold plates White House.

 

[crandc]

JD Vance broke a Senate tie on a motion to reclaim Constitutional authority of Congress to establish tariffs. Republicans formally abdicate to Trump.

Thats commendable! But more than 10 pair of sneakers of multiple brans is an obsession. If you had a choice? Pair of sneakers or weeks worth of that expensive foo foo rolebucks coffee? One or the other?

Nope.....

It's ridiculous. The wouldn't even miss the amount they paid if they actually paid their fair share of taxes.

sneakers of multiple brans

Sneakers made from bran would keep you pretty regular. But you could end up with a bad case of athlete's colon.
