Fuck america. You stuck your dick in crazy, now you watch the fucking film. You’ll soon find out you’re not the centre of the universe. You were the de facto legal, financial and military core because the rest of the world trusted you. Without that trust, you’re ruzzia with grand canyon…
The sad thing is Trump doesn’t really understand what he is doing. He is an unqualified, uneducated fool. He effectively destroyed a thriving economy with tariffs and now rest of world distrusts us. Many will stop investing here. Bad days coming.
Can people please post legitimate facts as I googled this and there’s already posts saying it’s not true. WHAT DO WE BELIEVE IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA DISINFORMATION????
"The Los Angeles Port import volumes for scheduled vessels for the week of April 27 to May 3 are down 31% vs. the previous week and have decreased 14% compared to a year ago, as of Tuesday. Next week, the port expects volumes to be down more than 35% vs. the same week in 2024."
When they lift the tariffs we'll get that same kind of yo-yo effect we got after pandemic. Where producers can't produce fast enough to fill orders and prices go up. Either way, likely inflationary
If I were a betting man, I would assume they call the price increases "the price of freedom." And go with the concept "freedom isn't free." And that we need to suffer (pay this price) to be free. But that's how I'd spin it. Maybe they'll just claim it isn't happening?
I try to stay strictly factual on this because I live in Seattle and can verify it by local news, or when I'm flying over the sound from the airport. Apparently Seattle is down 35-40% very recently and the longshoremen are losing shifts. Ngl it feels like early Covid.

The transportation logistics bit near the bottom is very troubling since they'll have to reduce capacity.
Less Capacity=less truckers working/less truck maintenance & equipment purchase, weaker carriers going out of business.
Not good, though environment friendly.
Republicans and their bullshit family values. 🥴
Everything is going to the states.
Don't forget to get enough clothes for you as well.
The disconnect is disconcerting.
This is sabotage, so until Trump and Republicans are removed... there is no normal predictable business environment to recover to.
Otherwise, yeah they'll keep the prices jacked until consumers (people) take to the streets.
