    Or you just don’t buy anything. Which is what a lot of Americans will do, because they don’t have enough money. Because the billionaires have all of it. And so the economy will tank, because “nobody wants to shop anymore.”

      100%. This is why I’m stocking up now. Fishing is a good, cheap, fun hobby and if everything is gonna be more expensive, I’d rather prep and spend a little more now and have access to it in the coming years.

        The good news is the US government isn’t competent enough to actually enforce the tariffs. So your fishing stuff most likely won’t get much more expensive. They’ll just get labeled “made in the USA” to appease our narcissistic president. Good times.
