Yay, another COVID style supply chain apocalypse. This time brought on entirely by American conservatives and their lack of brain cells.
Buy exactly ZERO gifts for your conservative family members for their bdays and Xmas and make sure to tell them it's because of the new Trump Tax.
I don't think you'll be able to buy anything for anybody lol.
This is a Depression Train coming right for us
Glad I've already been living as frugally as possible for the past several years.
Uprisings eminent.
lol stores are gonna start getting cleaned out on the regular. And they’re gonna stay empty.
Are we winning yet?
And that's just from the Tariff effects. When you count hoarders scalpers people stealing from trucks fromwarehouses and everything else it's going to get really crazy. And people are going to start hoarding things that aren't getting tariffed because they don't want to find out the hard way
Its also what the stores voted for. Almost every major corporation wanted Trump and heavily lobbied for him to get in. News outlets, grocery chains, retail stores, tech companies, every large corporation wanted this.
Unfortunately, it seems this needs to happen to wake people the fuck up.
Another article today about people literally having no concept of why the websites they're shopping on is suddenly way more expensive (and explicitly showing the tariff costs).
People are surprised by this, and many of them have literally never even heard the word "tariff" before.
especially chinese sites that deliver to usa.
And the illiterate yokels in 12 months time: "Tariff?! That sounds like one of them thar a-rab names!!"
i heard the shore employees are going to lose thier jobs the moment it stays empty.
lol stores are gonna start getting cleaned out on the regular
Nah. We've already seen businesses implementing digital price tags for just this occurrence.
Your stores will stay stocked. You're just going to see merch doubling and tripling in price as inventory depletes.
Eventually, you'll walk into a store, see a single pair of jeans on the rack, and read a $1000 price tag on it because it's the last pair of that style in 20 miles.
Sounds like a scalpers wet dream
the toilet paper crisis will soon be on the scene again.
Lean inventory and just in time supply management for the win!
I didn't vote for this.
I feel like we should have a system where the blue States get to have a different president than the red states. We sort of divide the federal government so each election you pick which one your state will be a member of this year.
Neither did I but 79 million idiots did, and 88 million didn't vote at all.
In a sense 167 million people wanted this shitshow so here we are.
Buy a gun, ammo, and canned goods. Form support groups with like minded people in your areas.
This summer is going to be a hootenanny of epic proportion.
88 million didn’t vote at all
Sorry. I asked for a ballot with a non-genocidal name on the ticket and was told I needed to leave the building.
Friend tried to vote, but she didn't have a DL yet (chronic Metro rider) and her student card didn't count as a valid Real ID.
Mom voted in a suburb that was gerrymandered 55/45 Republican a few years earlier. She got to vote by mail because she was a senior citizen. But nobody younger than her has that privilege anymore.
Then there was the woman who issued a provisional ballot because she was out on parole and wasn't sure if she could legally vote again. Police arrested her for it.
Maybe there's a reason turnout has been falling that goes farther than "people had a case of the stupids suddenly".
There's also the retraction of mail-in voting from 2020. That may actually be the major difference between 2020 and 2024
Sorry. I asked for a ballot with a non-genocidal name on the ticket and was told I needed to leave the building.
Man, you showed them, trump has been great for gaza.... how's it been working out for you?
Here's the thing though, the genocide was bipartisan. Voting literally didn't affect it. Also this hold hold your nose strategy doesn't seem like it actually works. Just straight up does not win elections and shame and voters isn't working. You should change up your tactics on the off chance we ever have elections again
You were told not to vote as part of a campaign to get liberal voters to stay home. You fell for it.
It was a campaign to stop a genocide. Harris chose to throw her campaign instead of winning votes.
Can't be reiterated how many times Harris attacked her own base and ate away at the coalition Biden had used to win four years early.
But it's never the politician's fault for alienating the voters. It's always those stupid disloyal single-issue anti-genocide voters.
Maybe there's a reason turnout has been falling that goes farther than "people had a case of the stupids suddenly".

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dude. He totally showed 'em. So much pwning was had that Nov 5th I can tell you!
Excited to revisit the discourse on price gouging for the next few months.
There is no price gouging in U.S.A.
The Orange King has invited you to Lake Gitmo.
if you need, or might need tech in the near future, BUY IT NOW. not just because of the price hike, but because there won't be anything left to buy
Question for the class: aside from the obvious like computers and technology, what category items are we expecting to be hit hardest? Or to ask pointedly, what items that we NEED might be affected?
Anything that's coming from China, the other terrorists are on pause right now but with Donald Trump you just never know. There's also a lot of things that are made in America but the parts are sourced from China, in whole or in part. That being said once Panic buying sets in I expect even things that aren't terrorists to start being price hiked and go missing from shells I people who don't know the difference and don't want to find out the hard way
Literally anything imported. Which is virtually everything.
Baby care items are going to get hit hard.
The ones you don’t think of, naturally.
Clothing, but, tbh, I expect that need to be flexible. I personally could ride out a few years just repairing my items. Pants are what I expect to run out of first--the bottoms give out and that is beyond my repair skills.
I have a few more bags of coffee than I normally would, because caffeine makes things better and we don't grow that here. I have a bit of chocolate.
I really don't know what will be in short supply. I didn't want to hoard stuff I won't use, but I don't want to run out of stuff I need.
we dont grow cacoa either, tropical climates grow our vanilla orchids, cacoa, and coffee beans, avacadoes, pineapples too. and vanilla is notoriously hard to grow, due to its biology(because you have to hand pollinate each flower as the natural pollinator is probably in its native range is either extinct or extirpated and not available in where the vanilla grows.
Yep. I suspect we'll be fine for cheap/low quality candy, thanks to native corn syrup. Sadly my tastes run a bit fancier.
I thought most clothing was now made in Vietnam and Indonesia?
I'm not sure. A quick audit of my clothing says Peru, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Poland, and China.
I'm also not sure how the tariffs will end up.
I've got stuff in my house that was from Pakistan
That's pretty diverse. And yeah, I don't think even Trump knows what's going to happen.
