I was trying to repair an older laptop (a nice sturdy asus) and need a graphics card … the only one I found that was a one to one replacement was in China … it cost, to my door, $35 … today, that would translate to approximately $87 …

Smh

I placed an order with them yesterday. Many of their prices were up 10% or more on some items.

Food and from where?

Using a premium Sherwin Williams paint was $78 a gallon, now $153

I managed a Restoration project 83 gallons main body color and then adding 25 for trim and shutters

Yeah that was the problem they left it unpainted for decades.

Thx for explaining.

Time for some fabric wall hangings & art work.

Who took a bid on a job and now is expected to complete it within a certain percentage of his/her estimate? This was the problem during Covid, when the price of lumber tripled.

quoted some marine batteries on friday - then on monday when we went to buy them, they went up by about 80 bucks each x8=

And since my contractor has drug my kitchen project out for 3 years. He's getting hit with both COVID (on the cabinets) and tariffs (on whatever we need for backsplash).

Otherwise, there is going to be a lot of litigation and pain.

with everything trump, you have to read between the lines...
It was about raising prices for manufacturers and suppliers.
Because you know what they say about prices;
they ratchet up but they never come down.

As an electronics hobbyist and retiree, I monitor numerous electronic parts for future hobby projects on an eBay watch list and typically would buy some things around once a month.

Now, for example, a small aluminum project case went from $15 and free shipping to $20 plus $200 shipping! It's the same on many other parts, although oddly. some still show free shipping. I suspect these small parts shops in China are betting on enough non-US business to stay afloat until this blows over.

Damn good thing I have tons of parts on hand and a backlog of Mr. Fix-it projects to keep me busy 'till TFG flips or is gone.

I only watch parts I need for my laptop on eBay. I need a new lcd screen, guess I better buy it while I can.

I love kalimbas, I’ve bought two, Seeds 41 key kalimbas when I could get them $89 and $69 respectively, the same ones out of China now are a couple of hundred dollars. I won’t be buying more.

And small looms and other items, I will have to make myself. Yarn and other threads are from Turkey and they will have gone up too. These are luxuries though.

Wait until it hits personal goods, soap, shampoo, cosmetics, the ingredients of which come from other countries. Then there are phones and electronics. This is going to hurt. Clothing will go up too. Food, I don’t want to think about.

Which has its positives. But yeah, its going to hurt for a while.

it will hurt now, but it will be so much better in the future.

yea, right...

Not acknowledging the reality that the crap from china is largely created in inhumane working conditions, is bad for the environment and contributes to global warming just because the evil idiot started a tarriff is not very logical and does not make it a right-wing talking point. The policy is hugely flawed in so many ways. But that does not mean that decreasing consumption of products from china is a bad thing.

You can’t put the Chinese cat back in the bag.

I said "Then what is the point?" He said "Jobs". i said "WE HAVE 4% UNEMPLOYMENT!"

My materials are local but almost all power tools are made outside the US same for hand tools. When stuff wears out it will drive my cost up. Mainly Taiwan and China are the suppliers.

They don't flip a switch and bring it back.

Cons - increases prices, which primarily hurt lower incomes.

Pros - Reduces consumption of cheap chinese crap that is made under very questionable conditions and is terrible for the environment and contributes to global warming.

Unfortunately the orange idiot is using a axe when a scalpel would have been better.

Who gets the money from tariffs? Tax hike

A tariff is a tax hike, usually paid by the customer.
Sometimes by the selling country but not often.
It is not called a tax, but my wallet does not know the difference.

A quick primer on tariffs: They’re a tax on imported goods — clothes, shoes, toys, car parts, appliances, you name it. But the extra money does not come from the foreign companies that produce those goods. The American company doing the importing pays the money to the US Treasury.

(That means the gov't.--- the administration.)
They don't seem to mention that they are collecting more taxes.

California is bracing for the out come.

Side note, I truly believe shithole is messing with the stock market with false employment numbers as well as the unemployment status.

But they went up before this a while back. Only the tofu cat litter is from China. One cat food may have gone up again that is from Canada or it may be a sale that was off now. I should have got another bag of that one.
