Yep, we are about to reach the empty shelves in stores level of living in an idiocracy with Orange Caligula at the helm.

grammymae.bsky.social•2 days ago

RUH-ROH...time to buy beans and rice.

sgccgs.bsky.social•2 days ago

Coming soon, to a store near you, empty shelves country wide.

jadedinmontana.bsky.social•2 days ago

What time frame are we looking at? When will the shortages start?

adelpreore.bsky.social•2 days ago

Your guess is as good as mine. Just passing along what I've heard.

trninvt.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep, supplies I need to run my business are being delayed. I don't have time for this shit. Or the money to take a vacation.

adelpreore.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fuck. So sorry man.

thedesertginger.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thousands of empty containers showed up just mocking us. It will be like Covid supply chain empty shelves in 6-8 weeks

recyclemom.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is that how long it takes to reach the US?

The final ship is supposed to show up mid May

Trump and his evil minions have to go!!! I don’t care how. The dollar is tanking. Our money won’t be with the paper it’s printed on. Our retirement savings gone. No funding for anything that protects us. I’m so done. When do we rise up? I’ll be there just tell me where and when. No more!

It's not showing up in the statistics yet. April and May will be telling, I suspect. Scuttle butt was to buy from Temu, Shein, etc before April 25 to beat the tariffs.
Keep this handy to keep an eye on it.

I tested this out on the Temu website earlier today, the “import charges” were more than the items being bought:

$66 items buying
+
$88 import charges
=
$154?!?😳

Is that some 47maga winning or what!?!🙄

flyhighmissy.bsky.social•2 days ago

I want to see how the cost compare between Temu and Amazon. I looked up one item last week. $7-9 on Temu, $20+ on Amazon. Same item, pictures, product details, etc.
I assume the Amazon product is imported in large quantities.
No tariffs on <$800 packages. Don't know if that is the case now.

Not much on some shelves in nyc grocery store.

findforesthere.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Port of Seattle had ZERO shipping containers sitting in the staging area for loading/unloading last night.

Never seen that in all my years in Seattle. Even when slow there’s a hundred or more at any given time.

greybunny.bsky.social•2 days ago

I've got errands in Tacoma on Monday, tempted to take a swing by the port to see how they're looking. I really hope none of my meds rely on precursors in those cans.

As a Gen X who moved to Seattle in 95 to witness rise of tech from dot com boom & bust \ Microsoft am not as surprised that dystopian novels were right. They did use tech to be beguiling us \ harvest our info then use it against us. They are correlating info with what Musk stole to disappear us...👹

‪DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THESE PEOPLE! No friendship, no dating, no family, NO INTERACTION! Their feelings, opinions, ideologies, thoughts, and ideas DO NOT MATTER at all and are COMPLETELY irrelevant. It is a waste of time!

Items that would normally be on seasonal mark down will be marked up as the last items available.

My first words when I saw this, "This is bad". We have no idea how bad the impact will be, but it will be seriously bad and sooner than we think.

scubapopeye.bsky.social•2 days ago

Same here. Also in Seattle and Portland so I’m told.

Yep.
The first couple of months are all good....

Then the ships stop....

@maxboot.bsky.social reposted @Molson_Hart on X regarding the upcoming port and good disaster.

odetoayellerhonda.bsky.social•2 days ago

Grocery costs are starting to show the effects in a big way. Nobody is going to be able to miss this, except people who can't remember how much their staples normally cost.

phoebesheltie.bsky.social•2 days ago

We pass two border cossings to the US regularly. No traffic going south. Maybe one day, but for now no point going where we aren't welcome.

mark79542085.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have a close relative who runs a small export business.

10 large containers per month before this Trump administration. Now? 2.

adelpreore.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wasn't enough to have us at each other's throats for some culture war bullshit. Now it'll be food and medicine.

The Traitor is deliberately crashing the world economy.

Bad for the free world is good for Russia. Agent Krasnov is doing his duty destroying the U.S.

Had to run into a Walmart (something I rarely do) near my house in the suburbs. Was stunned at how empty it looked.

My Kroger is already rationing the 10lb bags of rice to 2 per order.

Port of Norfolk is the same on the East Coast…

talathera.bsky.social•2 days ago

Real fast too. Hope everyone took the time to secure their households.

Coffee is an import.
Chocolate is an import.
Rice is an import.
Toilet paper comes from Canada 🍁….

Get those everyday items now

jazzy987.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump is already bragging about how much money the tariffs are bringing in.

adelpreore.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh good - hopefully we can get across to the less astute among us how much more they're paying for stuff.

The Brexit mark 2. On Steroids.

whadevs.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tell the non trump voters it’s past time to prep! Get essentials like rice, flour and protection for your house and family. Get cash out and have a big out plan. Find your closest border entry into Mexico that isn’t manned. This is not a drill.

dpp7541.bsky.social•2 days ago

Be careful of Bread flour. It can go off.
Eating from Contaminated Flour can set you Mad.

Do they prevent the fungi that cause the flour to go off.
Resulting in Hallucinations.
Best Google wheat and Rye flour.
Just to be absolutely Safe.

I don't think ergot is an issue after harvest, given reasonable storage.

7leaguebootdisk.bsky.social•2 days ago

You need to get your starter molecule for your LSD production someplace, and that's the hard one to get.

Which is why American processed food is Prohibited in the EU. It doesn't meet the Minimum safety requirements or Standards.

Just read a headline that said that some trucking companies are already laying off drivers in anticipation of having little to nothing to ship this summer.

But thier children remember the stories. I had depression era grandparents. Prepare, and definitely begin talking with your neighbors about sharing food if you can.

OPINION:
Good.

Supercilious, belligerent neocon fascists who have an ignorant isolationist view need to be introduced firsthand & directly to a basic fact: economic geopolitical coexistence is not “optional.”

There are consequences to holding yourself apart as an island.
