#tariffs

This only applies to packages from China right now. It may be applied to other countries later but that hasn't happened yet.

My fellow Americans, please be warned:

The De Minimis Exception, which previously meant that packages worth under $800 didn't pay tariffs, is being removed on May 2nd 2025. Packages coming into the United States after that will be charged tariffs AND a $100 processing fee per package (to be increased to $200 in June).

It is unclear to me if this only applies to new items. If it also applies to pre-used items then even eBay purchases from Canada, the UK, etc etc would be affected. Be cautious, you don't want to get hit with this bullshit fee and these bullshit tariffs.

As with all news from the US these days, this info could change on the whim of the Jackass In Chief at any time.

Truckers are getting shaft from First Felon.

The economy can not handle this many people not working. And dont think for a second US exports will not be affected. This is trade destruction. For no reason or stated outcome.

I thought tumblr might find this Trump tariff trolley problem both tragic and telling

Trump Voters: Bu-bu-but Trump said the tariffs were gonna make us all rich? I thought we were gonna make America great again?!

Actually a good video. Explains the impact of tariffs on purchases...

However, I would point out that tariffs have been effective as a means to reduce tariffs that other countries have on us.

This will not help the consumer because savings are no longer passed on due to non competitive markets...

Take away...only the rich will benefit from tariffs as there's been no discussion about creating jobs or creating competitive markets for those items discussed in the supply chain...

The corporate investor will ALWAYS get their money.

watch PearlMania500's response, that guy gets supply chain. I work in supply chain and that is exactly what everyone should be thinking about

But no, most people don't even know how their food gets to the grocery store

Among other imports, America gets ~30% of its coffee from Colombia.

What the fuck is this???

This is found on the Trump Organization website

Maybe someone should tell him that it is against the constitution to run for a 3rd term as president.

To be honest, Trump feels like Vizzini at this moment a lot of the time.

Trump thinks like a shitty landlord and abusive husband/father. He wants respect.

No one respects a fool.

Krugman summarizes Trump policy

"Being a cowardly, loud-mouthed bully presiding over utter chaos is not an effective negotiating strategy."

[eugenedebs1920]

We have to remember, this “administration”, with all its cruelty, with all its corruption, with all its criminality, with all its racism, with all its unconstitutional behavior, with all it’s unamerican acts, with all its tried to do to destroy the country we knew, there’s one thing they also possess in droves.

Incompetence.

Trump and all the spineless sycophants surrounding him may be f*ckin pricks and traitors, but their also dumb as a box of rocks. Honestly, that’s a low blow to a box of rocks. I apologize.

The idiocracy and arrogance of these mutha f*ckers will be their achilles heel.

Stay strong. Stay positive. Stay outraged. Stay defiant. Stay human.
