“I haven’t been keeping up with news or what’s going on?!?! I have been ordering a lot this past month for my daughters wedding.. did I miss something???”

I mean Jesus TapDancing Christ. You've not been aware of who the president is and what he is doing??? It's not like tariffs haven't been in the news at all. They (along with illegal renditions and other attacks on civil liberties) have been dominating the news cycles since January. I have never been one to ignore news, so even if quite busy with something in life I read headlines at the very least. It confounds me to know some folks ignore news willfully. Some even think of it like it's some twisted badge of honor.

I know head-in-sand people exist, but I am dismayed, baffled and extremely disappointed that they still behave the same when the house is burning down around them. Especially when this ignorance is obviously present in a large block of people in the US.
Please wake the hell up everyone, the house is on fire! (I know I am preaching [venting] to the choir in this venue.)

Others were posting about possible workarounds, including the idea that perhaps Americans could get things shipped to a third country with lower tariffs as a go-between so that the goods didn’t appear like they were actually coming from China.

Truly maximizing global shipping efficiency...

Can confirm - I track grocery prices every week and the cumulative "Biden inflation" was about 17% over 4 years, or about 4% per year average. Last week was already a 15% yoy increase, and some stuff is legitimately 100% yoy already.

"Did I miss something?"

No, you intentionally avoided listening to what we were telling you.

I will never tire of reading articles like this. It's like the nectar of the gods to me.

Donald J Trump is a liar, rapist, cheat and a lousy business man that has failed every single business, and Americans voted in this useless excuse for a human being to enforce facism, racism, and colonialism. Well done America.

It's only just begun. Wait until there are empty shelves at Wal-Mart. MAGA is going to have to work overtime to blame it on Biden.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Doesn't matter who they blame.. blame won't fill the shelves.

The local shipping port was empty yesterday. The last time I saw it that empty was during covid. It is genuinely frightening.

It's not hard work. They just blame Biden. When you're lying, and everyone knows you're lying, then there's no reason to put effort into the lie. If that doesn't catch on, they'll blame someone else. Zelensky or Xi, or they can always Blame Canada.

Blame Canada you say? Oh my god.....South Park Movie predicted this....
