Buy what you need now. Use the gooduniteus app to tell which political party a brand donates to and the NO app to read in-store labels . Try to buy from black-, woman-, and/or LGTBQ+-owned local stores.

Nice

JFC! I wish the media would have played this on loop all of October!

My MAGA people said it was just rhetoric

carmen-theresa.bsky.social•151 days ago

MSM didn't twig to this before November?

Will the MAGA cult realize they're being conned?

Rest of the world will benefit from surplus Chinese production. This will make China even stronger, which I don't think is a bad thing for now.

That probably doesn't include companies marking up the tariff. It's an opportunity as well as an excuse to increase their profit margin.

bryceatwell.bsky.social•151 days ago

Price-gouging opportunities ahead even for domestic producers. Feel sorry for the poor folks that didn't vote, but it needs to get real bad before it gets better.

teramis.bsky.social•151 days ago

And that is both predictable and inevitable, just like they took advantage of supply chains disruptions during and after the pandemic to jack up profit margins on just about everything.

Fed might want to reconsider.

Technically, everything is on sale RIGHT NOW.

collier74.bsky.social•151 days ago

Just consider that once, a long time ago, when your grandparents were young whippersnappers, we made all of these things right here for ourselves. Manufacturing and distribution employed people and gave the middle-classes their economic clout. Chew on that.

Thanks Nick, but I'm burying my head in the sand for the next 4 years. See you at Noon on January 20, 2029! 💙

I need a new laptop before the fools are sworn into office.

Now do housing (proposed tariffs on lumber from Canada)

krisjmarino.bsky.social•151 days ago

Let's welcome Trump's presidency by giving him a loss of consumer confidence by cutting back on spending. No one will be able to afford things regardless, so it's just common sense.

bonneville1970.bsky.social•151 days ago

Trump's tarrifs are hot air. He won't do them but claim victory anyway.

facs4life.bsky.social•151 days ago

Bring it on. Let his cult bitch and moan.

craigdodge.org•151 days ago

It's incumbent on all of us to make the connection every time it happens. You know right-wing disinformation machine will be hard at work obfuscating.

trimbod.bsky.social•151 days ago

It was never about saving money.
It was always about giving permission to hate someone different than them.

bellieblue.bsky.social•151 days ago

I think he is bluffing. I think he knows the border crossings have come down and he will claim it was his threat that did it vs Biden’s administration

But but .. the eggs are cheap

topquarkengineer.bsky.social•151 days ago

Can’t wait to watch the MAGA meltdown when Indonesian farmed popcorn shrimp at Red Lobster is $80 a cup and Canadian wheat breadsticks at Olive Garden are $12. Those “gotta have” Stanley mugs will be marked up 50% because that stainless steel came from Canada, Mexico, and China. #schadenfreude
