A lot of nice personal testimony in the X replies about Bob Timberlake furniture.

Where are all these high prices that I keep hearing the media go on about from tarrifs? I must be avoiding these items somehow.

Just saw a commercial where Gavin "I'm smarter than you" Newsom said due to the tariffs, prices are out of control and store shelves are empty.

Good for him, his employees and their local community.

I keep telling people that in general Trump is going in hard in the paint on elastic goods in terms of tariffs and going REAL soft on inelastic goods.
Elastic goods are goods you either really don't need and/or are easily replaceable with domestic replacements. Like electronics, clothing, alcohol, luxury items, vehicles, etc. Furniture is an elastic good because it can be replaced domestically.
Inelastic goods include fuel, basic foods, prescriptions, and other goods with few substitutes. Trump policies are making fuel supply high and the Most Favored Nation status is dropping prescription prices...as examples.
That's Trump's economic play.
Hard on elastic goods.
Easy on inelastic goods.
Is is working? So far so good. The CPI numbers keep coming down and beating expectations.

I see stories like this and Lee Greenwood fires up in my head, "From the lakes of Minnesota..."
Then I remember that the democrats will tear it all back down next time they are in power.

Completely off topic, but I inherited my kitchen table from grandparents. Was handmade by a small furniture making business in SoCal in 1947. Solid maple and beautiful to this day. First thing my grandparents bought when Grandpa returned from the war and they got married.

For those that don't know. High Point NC. was at one time the furniture capital of the world. It still uses that name. However we allowed corporation board members to pad their salaries. By shuttering High Point manufacturing. And moving that part of their business to Asia.
Anyone with a brain knows what would happen virtually over night. If we shuttered our dependence on foreign manu. I've made my living on import from China. And even I f'ing hate that I have to do it.

So wait, am I to take it that life is better for Americans when we make more and purchase more stuff made in America in jobs creation, business creation, tax revenue, and overall wealth staying in America?
That seems like crazy talk to me.

Is the hurricane a factor?
Posted on 5/21/25 at 5:08 pm to GumboPot
I have to ask......
Is this more due to the hurricane than any global economics?

Yeah, a little more expensive furniture that supports jobs with dignity is better than paying more taxes for welfare.

somewhat deceptiver headline. bob timberlake furniture closed in 2008 and was revived last year. good for them, but it's no surprise they'd have a better second year
