I went to order flowers for Mother's day and Billy Heroman's has a temporary tariff fees.
So what tariff is getting applied to flowers grown locally? I dont get it.

The majority of cut flowers sold in the United States are imported, with countries like Colombia and Ecuador supplying the majority of these imports.

So the flowers were $2.19 more than they were without tariffs?

If that’s per flower then the shite adds up quick. Flowers are already super expensive.

Hardly any of the flowers you get from florists are USA. Most of the flowers are from South America.

You’re saying your mother and/or the mother of your spawn is not worth spending a bit more on to honor on Mother’s Day?

Consumer price increases when the inputs increase in price. How is this BS?

You’re on the wrong board to bitch about this.

The consensus will never be that anything this administration is doing is wrong. Ever. This is republican Reddit. Same shite president just like Biden. Same excuses just like for Biden.

You’re the issue here. You don’t love your mother? How dare you complain about flower prices? Were you complaining in 22 when inflation was sky high? Hypocrite.

shite is going to get a lot worse if a ton of these tariffs imposed stick.

I’m sure you have liquidated your entire stock portfolio then. That would be the only reasonable decision if you believed economic ruin was imminent.
