    Ah yes, tripling down on something that hasn’t worked previously will definitely change the outcome…

    I wonder what that looks like. Does it just show up in the computer system or something? Then all of those items currently in transit, what does their tariff look like? I don’t envy the people who work at the ports.

      that’s exactly how it works. import companies are currently cancelling all the orders from China and other countries currently en route and Americans are going to pay a lot more for whatever imported stock is left within the country and then there won’t be anything from other countries in the US after a week or two: produce, meat, electronics, TP and so on.
