Temu sells junk.

Decrease in orders from Shein/temu is one of the few positive things with these tariffs.

Of all the potential tariff impacts, the end of Shein and Temu seems like the most positive.

that’s what a lot of folks are saying. I’ll be interested to see if this actually goes into effect on May 2. to be fair though, plenty of places to continue buying cheap stuff at dollar stores, Walmart, etc. But this is def a newer and perhaps more impulsive source of it all

Americans need to hit the streets to defend our rights or we will all be working 20-hour shifts in factories manufacturing this crap and the tariffs will be a moot point.

Cheaply made, disposable fashion that uses cheap/child/unsafe labor practices, that fills up landfills with used products, that uses resources and creates massive amounts of ecological harms/pollution/poisons....all for a cheap new look. https://youtu.be/OaGp5_Sfbss
