Think of this as China boycotting US soybeans last year or so. There were only so many soybeans to be bought and they weren’t buying from us, so Brazil gouged them and bought our soybeans to account for the extra demand.

This is fixable in the long term but not in a short timeframe.


We should have been investing in Latin America for the past 50 years.

They didn't want to do that. That would have slowed down the flow of cheap labor across the border, and caused wages to increase faster here in The U.S..

Those cost increases will be passed along to the consumer. Will be interesting to see how this will effect Christmas gift buying.

Last one I paid for was 24k. And that's not even including the tariffs which Biden promised he would get rid of.



Retaliatory tariffs are awesome, thank god for Trump.

Well…how did they become multimillionaires by working at jobs that pay $150k/yr?


Yep. That's how AOC (former bartmaid) goes from hustling drinks at a local drinkary to attending a plush liberal gala in a $ 35,000 dress.

Washington,D.C. is awash in printed funny money. AND they want more.

Just paid $22,500 for the container. Tariffs were $7,000

I don’t love paying the tariffs, but the ocean freight is past impossible.

All because the Dems keep giving incentives to not come back to work for truckers. Long Beach only a few weeks ago started operating beyond 8-5 shifts Monday to Friday. Media only started reporting all this shite this week when it became impossible to cover up anymore.

Enjoy your Christmas with empty shelves and 15% inflation

Which brings me to my question. Is everyone in Washington,D.C. on the take? Inquiring minds want to know.

Every single one of them
Some more than others
Some way more than others

Don't forget many quitting their dock jobs because of vaccine mandates. The bizarre part is that this hurts China, certainly something Biden did not mean to do. But it also hurts all of us since we depend on China for many medications that keep people alive. Hmmm maybe it is part of their plan.
