ysabetwordsmithAs forecast by people* who pay attention: the port of Seattle is empty. This will propagate to other US ports over the next few weeks due to transit time from China.
"[small business] paused a container shipment due this month after realizing the 145% tariff would add roughly $300,000 to the shipment’s original $200,000 cost"
Sometimes, it sucks to be able to see the future. >_< But I am pleased that, at least this time, other people have seen it too. Nobody in power is listening. They are stupid and will likely not realize there is a problem until A) they personally run out of things and/or B) riots occur over shortages. But it's nice not being alone in seeing the problem this time.
