Nobody wants to bring in shipments because shit could change in the time it takes to get here.
Even "reshoring" is a bad business call because all of the equipment and materials that go into that are more expensive and uncertain.
If Trump doesn't fold soon, we'll be on track for a sequel to the Great Depression.
Yep, imports are an investment from importers/capitalists perspective. And under capitalism, investments are done with expectation of profit.
Really complex ideas here, really have to have some sympathy for Trump. Who could've thought the economy doesn't like it when you just flip the tables and give everyone a middle finger?

Even if us from other countries are affected, let it happen, I want to see this Western world cope and seethe about this

Just a few more weeks of this will cause enough trouble in the supply chains that even if Trump completely drops all tariffs to zero, there will be significant economic problems. It takes at least 2 weeks for a ship to come from China and that is assuming that everything is running smoothly.

The number of ships coming into LA today is lower than Vancouver, Canada. You can look at real time tracking for cargo ships and it's crazy how empty the US ports are compared to normal. Shanghai still booming tho
Seems bad idk
If your in america and have the means to you should be making sure all your electronics, clothes, etc are good to go for the next few years. Its gonna be hard to find and stuffs gonna be expensive. I don't have money for new clothes which i already needed and its worrying me. Maybe i can make my own out of blankets and stuff lol. Luckily i rarely upgrade tech anyway and know how to repair stuff so on that i should be fine. Food should be alright for most things atleast. Hope you don't like Tilapia tho. Like 90% comes from China.
Being in a position where a bunch of my electronics are on the way out but I don't have the money to replace them before they skyrocket in price is so cool.

You can buy used clothes, you know. Not to knock your attempt to make them yourself, that's cool, but there are plenty of ways to avoid having to do that.

So America is getting hit by embargoes it imposes on other countries but its self imposed
Something something fascism is Imperialism at home
Burgerland used TANTRUM!
I was out at the store and things still felt relatively the same price wise. Guess that's going to change soon. 
Most groceries are domestically produced, probably won't be the first thing affected (although posters last week noticed cheaper soy/tofu prices due to the lack of export)
I've noticed that the actual prices haven't changed but all the stuff that used to be 4 or 5 bucks is still 4 or 5 bucks bur it's "on sale" marked down from 7 or 8 bucks. And everyrhing is "on sale" my guess is these sales are gonna slowly dissappear and everything's gonna be the higher price within 2 months.
This is a well established retail tactic to ease customers into price hikes. I remember Walgreens pulling this shit all the time when I worked there like 15 years ago.

If nothing is coming in that means no cabbage is coming in and I think that's a worthy sacrifice.
