Attention scumbags: smuggling may make a comeback due to tariffs

[DrBanneker]

A few of us like me and @Vandelay have supply chain and logistics backgrounds. I was talking to some folks recently and there seems to be a realization and concern that between the slowing of exports from China (ship bookings down 30% year over year) and the really high tariffs on a bunch of countries, the price + shortage situation is going to be a perfect storm for a black market for a lot of goods.

Like this may be the big come up after drugs/migrants for the brehitos or gangs from Canada you can smuggle in stuff like electronics, gaming systems, and even mislabeled food and then resell for cheaper than the real import after smuggling across borders. Imagine if Trump's policies create the Mexican Lucky Luciano



Of course this depends on the tariffs lasting a while and causing huge issues. If it lasts so long shelves go bare and shyt, it's on.

This is just a PSA

Organized crime is going to eat off the incompetence of this administration

They're fixated on non whites. The mafia and other white gangs are about to be more powerful than they've been in years.

I think this is the big come up for the Hispanic and Asian gangs. Black folks could get in the mix but of course they will arrest us and give us football numbers.

They are 100% going to crack down on Spanish speaking gangs and Asian gangs will get caught up too because of trumps beef with China.

Black gangs are of course going to be targeted as usual while hells angels are out here murdering people in broad daylight.

I was chatting with my exports guy yesterday. I thought we were holding on the freight in anticipation of the tariffs coming down. Nope, we paid it and we're passing all that shyt on to the customer. This country don't know how fukked we about to be. So yeah, I definitely know the black market is about to pop too. But you have to be careful as the black market doesn't have the same quality control.

I've been trying not to be sensational, but definitely stock up on everything you can that you use often.

It's crazy because our biggest export partners are China, Mexico, and Canada.

Asian gangs have the advantage of possible ties to the places where the products are manufactured.
