Think it through, the whole point of the tariffs on CHina is to stop the imports from China. Of course it will empty shelves, that’s the point. Maybe you think that’s a dumb, doomed to fail approach to getting manufacturing back?

I can’t imagine what Iwould do if my hardware store stopped selling cheap Chinese hardware, raised the prices and sold quality products instead. Imagine having screws that don’t shear off when you drive them into a board.

The fact that you leaped to a completely unfounded conclusion tells me you’re not worth bothering with.

Wrong.

The whole point was to stop the Chinese from tariffing our goods.
