There will be some inflation, but as more people go back to work the economy will "lift all boats" not just the Chinese junk.

I run a tiny company. I'll be laying off at least eight people if tariffs on Chinese goods are raised (they are already very high). There are no domestic sources for what we buy - the art was lost decades ago. And domestic sources cannot re-appear in the current tax/regulatory environment.

I'm not alone. My scenario will be replicated hundreds of thousands of times across the country.

This is a lie. Somebody will be supplying your costumers. So go out of business and let's see who the customers go to.

PS I hope all Free Traitors™ go out of business. The thought brings me much satisfaction. Eat egg foo yung....

What are the products you import, that are a lost art?

Lawnmowers (no, I'm not being sarcastic), anything with small motors...electronics...hand tools?
