Prices will dramatically increase fairly quickly then we announce some stop gap plan and inflation rate slows some over the short term chaos that was just created. At the same time we start selectively removing the new tariffs that were just incorporated. There you go - success. Smoke em if you got em. I have a list of a dozen goods like grocery, gas, auto, etc all from local venders in our area on Jan 19 2025. I'll publish that list Jan 19 2026. Any bets - prices up or down.

When factories were closed down and moved overseas, it wasn't because the American worker quit.. it was because of the artificially low priced products being dumped here from offshore manufacturing. Artificially because we all pay out of our pockets for the jobless population, big time.
I miss the high quality products from American hands. Shoes, clothing, machinery, furniture.. you name it. Now we have a lot of disposable cr*p.
