Everybody is going to throw in "new tariffs" when they do something they have been wanting to do anyway.

It’s the latest “supply chain issues”

My company’s CFO tried to say that BS a few years ago. It’s a financial services company he got quietly replaced like a month later. What a bonehead.

A lot of people are going to lose their jobs. Not just federal employees. Lots of companies with huge federal contracts etc. and most employees have no idea where the money comes from. Get ready folks.

Trump is putting all the Indians and Philippians out of work.

Lol. Some of you morons couldn’t be helped if you had a winning lottery ticket.

Tech companies that take to market hardware products source a significant amount—if not all—of their components from Asia, with China being the largest supplier, and the country facing the largest threat of tariff.
