I did not much care for their service and goods anyway, but there is no way I am buying 'cheap' stuff that doubles in price when you get the invoice to pay. These things have an absolutely predictable outcome - I did not need the junk from places like Temu in the first place and no American company is making the stuff they peddle either. Their business is now zero, the repalcement in the USA is non-existent and there will never be a replacement started.

As consumers stop spending, anyone in the import/export game is going to be bankrupted. The delivery jobs and service infrastructure will erode FAST, millions of jobs lost, and the economy as a whole will slide into recession and depression unless Trump is removed, period.

Step 1 - pour accelerants and gasoline on the kindling...
Step 2 - hand the matches to a pyromaniac...
Step 3 - take one fucking guess...
