[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The May shipments from China are already enroute and show at least a 50% reduction in products. This will hit US selves on the west coast in about two week and Chicago by June.

The president won't be able to hide that.[/quote]

45% of household appliances come from China.  Lots of other things too.   Supply will get scarce and prices will rise.  [/quote]

I buy high quality clothing from a small US based company with a focus on sustainability/ natural fibers/ classic styles. They manufacture about 2/3 in S.Korea and 1/3 in China. Placed a large order last week for wardrobe staples to get me through the next 2-3 years.  I’m a loyal customer and hope they pull through. They have a smaller EU division and it looks like their plan is to reduced the US foot print and increase the EU one.  They aren’t hiding the fact they are panicking. Good quality clothes with sustainable materials aren’t cheap. They can’t double the price and sell enough here to stay in business. And they can’t find a US based manufacturer that doesn’t double the price.  And I’m seeing a lot of tariff notices coming out of other small US based businesses.  Good small businesses are going to go under. And for what?[/quote]

We can all buy sewing machines and learn to make our own clothes. Oh wait, those are made in China, too.[/quote]
