the chinese recently murdered millions upon millions of people worldwide. 9 people at my mom’s church died of Covid in the beginning of the plague. All older folks but that doesn’t matter. China could fall off into a sinkhole in hell for all I care. We shouldn’t trade one piece of discounted plastic crap with them.

I haven’t worn a ball cap that I can remember since the early 90s.

Just to add insult to National Rifle members, all their caps are made in China. The fact that they could not find even one source here in the USA I find appalling.

That’s hopefully one of the benefits of Trump’s tariffs

New Era Cap, from Buffalo New York area, makes and sells a beautiful cap

Even with the tariff, I suspect that Chinese ball caps will be cheaper than U.S. made. But perhaps not cheaper than caps made in a country that makes a deal with Trump. People look at the tariffs announced at the Rose Garden as static. But they are not. The game theory of the situation will result in reductions as countries fall over each other to make a good deal.

George Costanza will never be able to coordinate the purchase of fitted baseball caps for 50,000 Yankee fans now.
The horror!
Speaking of horror, where will Peterman be able to buy the Urban sombrero now?

The biggest problem with price hikes is gouging many stores jacked up priced the day after Trump imposed the tariffs.
Same with some gas stations even coffee went up some places 20 cents a cup.
Greed is always on the hunt for an option.

Agreed. Every penny of any debt to anything Chinese owned should have been wiped away. Every Chinese owned asset outside of their country should have been seized. That would be a nice start to compensating for what they unleashed on the world.

I felt the same way when U was in the John Wayne Museum in Iowa. Everything in the gift shop said “Made In China”. I left disappointed, with no purchases.
