General Discussion

China doesn't give a shit about Trump. They hold all the cards. If Trump puts on tariffs, China will just deal with other countries, who are more than happy to do that, because they are all pissed at Trump. Trump has no idea the hole he has dug here. Trump has probably never done any of his own shopping in his life. There are little almost no ships headed to the US now. But the impact won't really be felt for 90 days. But mid-summer we are going to see a lot of empty shelves, and the goods that are available, will be 30-50% more expensive than they were on election day.

That's just one hole. He is digging another big hole with Canada. Once again, Canada can get along without us, mainly by importing more from Europe and Asia. That will cost Canadians, but they are virtually on a wartime footing now, which means that the average citizen is willing to do without in order to win the battle with the US. We already saw that in the huge reversal of election fortunes, resulting in Carney's election. That tells us Canadians know the stakes and are willing to make sacrifices.

But are Americans? The orange anus keeps telling Americans how great things are and will be. But prices are already going up. And we will soon see serious chaos in the housing market because so many of the building products come from Canada. Look for this market to go crazy by the end of summer, and hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of trades people being unemployed, or severely underemployed.

There are just a couple of the holes. The tariffs themselves will cause many other holes because this is not just China. Eventually Trump will get back to all the other tariffs where he has deferred the onset date.

And before we know it, hurricane season will be upon us, and once again, Florida will be begging for billions of taxpayer dollars as they do every year
