Listen economic dumbass and I wil try to explain. A tariff is not an embargo. Do you know the differece? We are not restricting trade in any way buy putting up a tariff. Tariffs are not a barrier to trade, they are the opposite. The price for goods may go up but the supply will remain the same. So increase supply and decrease in demand because of the higher price = SHELVES FULL TO THE BRIM.

If the supply is no longer affordable, the businesses who stock the shelves won't buy either.

There will still be a demand dumbass. They will buy less but there will be no shortages dumbass. Get it dumbass?

You’re an embarrassment. An economic retard and a TDS fool. You don’t even know the difference between an embargo ( think ‘73 oil embargo ) and a simple duty on an imported product. You are buffoon. Please STHU.

We still have empty shelves ever since covid. Quality is worse too. There’s things that were on the shelves before covid, disappeared during covid, and never came back. The supply chain disruption is still working itself out.

CNN — No thanks. Every click to the CNN website puts money in CNN’s bank account. As an alleged conservative, you must be so proud of yourself /s.

You do not have to support CNN’s sponsors for CNN to make money. CNN makes money from its sponsors based upon web traffic. The more clicks to the CNN website, the higher the web traffic, which allows CNN to charge its advertising sponsors a higher ad rate.
