I don’t expect Trump to put the full Dec 15 tariffs on, but some.

China demands tariff relief for a deal: fine, Trump will take off some of the new tariffs.

So far, tariffs have not affected US consumers. But the next bunch will.

Trump has [played the perfect answer to China’s negotiations.

Some cheap plastic items are no longer found at Walmart. If people really need them, though, they are at Amazon. I just had to order those tall screw cap freezer containers online after realizing they weren’t out-of-stock at Walmart, they were not being ordered at all.

That’s a good idea. Ship the MX goods to the border and let Americans take it from there to the USA and Canada - which can also stop at the northern border to make jobs for Canadian truckers to further distribute in Canada.

You’re one smart cookie. Send PDJT a Tweet with your plan, ASAP! :)

That is the way we did it til NAFTA was signed. Now we allow mexican trucks to roam freely through the US and they are not required to adhere to the maintenance standards of US trucks. Its insane. My other or rather one of my other pet peeves 😆 is this crappola of labelling. They no longer have to put the country of origin on food labels so you don't know what you are ingesting. We look at every label. If it does not say where it was made we don't buy it. We do not knowingly eat anything from china or mexico.

Reading labels - Not a bad habit, for sure! :)
