Shelves of what?

Cheap knock off clothes, plastic toys and plastic headphones that break?

There are a lot of Americans....the majority, who shop for cheap items to wear because that is what they can afford.

Or get second hand better made ones, bikes, toys, books, etc. Like we all did during the pandemic. Or when our kids age out or in to stuff. Or when you move house and sell stuff.

Grow up people. Take care of your stuff better and pass it around. Like the rest of the world does.

Take a wild guess who relies on these cheap clothes. Not households like mine with an annual income of over $400,000.

Do you know how many tons of fast fashion made in China ends up in landfills or dumped in the high desert of some South American countries? Also, do you know how much carbon and chemical pollution fast fashion creates?

We also have tons of clothes available through thrift stores that goes unsold every year.

Or my basement! But not the cheap stuff…

Not fake cheap threads from China that fall apart in the wash.

Jobs will be lost as well. Do these fools ever look long term at what their ludicrous policies will do to the economy and job loss

Actually no. Those shipping crew and port union works will always make their $250k a year plus benies. Maybe their outrageous “Overtime” will go away…. But then again they never hire anyone who doesn’t pay to play.

I don't care about the name brand, but Hokas are wonderful. I have 2 pairs. Best walking/running shoes ever. I can go all day with these shoes on.

The impact will be felt everywhere. Many of the goods made in the US depend upon components or materials made in China. Even those items you buy that say
made in USA may well include materials that originated in China. And yes, there will be empty shelves and higher prices by mi-summer.

It’s not just low quality that’s made in China. Manufacturing in the US only works for simple products. Even getting samples sewn it’s hard to find capable workers.
