LA County ports expect roughly 40% drop in traffic as Trump's tariffs continue

Chinese factories are closing and they are laying off workers. This is looking bad for both countries.

Chinese factories slow production and send workers home as US tariffs bite

Owners say American customers have cancelled or suspended orders

90% of China's economy is based off export. 15% of that is from the US. Thats only what? 3% of China's GDP lol.
That's not going to lay a dent to China's economy once the tariffs pops off. That article is most likely Chinese companies working DIRECTLY with America companies. They are the only ones thats gonna feel the pain.

But on the flip side, America is screwed. There the ones that's gonna be affected the most when they need shoes, toys, clothing, etc.... Not the average Chinese citizen living in Shenzen.

Oh now all the Chinese posters are quiet

And they pray and pray for China's downfall....
Hope your white slave master bosss is treating you well, you may have to pay an arm and leg for them Nike sneakers soon

Panic will set in when the first tiktok video of empty shelves goes viral.

And how many nations has America left with empty shelves over the past 60 years through sanctions, selfishness, greed and fukking over somehow??

 

[TDUBB]

And the US isn't?

Trump is already blinking and folding spreading lies about making 200 deals and talking to China everyday. While Trump bullshyts you, China is already making REAL moves. As a matter fact, they will be making deal with the European Union by next month. This is right after making deals with Canada and Australia. Who are supposed to be allies to the US.

China already has Japan shook not to cross them. We're still waiting to hear back from Korea also.

But the environmental costs of freighting superfluous disposable items from across the world isn't a valid factor

The more discourse I witness in my lifetime the more difficult it is to see widespread intellect in humanity

I wonder will we see the dock workers get laid off. Which would be ironic since they was sucking Trumps cock on that new union deal.

These unions really fell for the okie doke

 

[Clayton Endicott]

Yes sir. Starting in May there will likely be empty shelves and shortages of some products.

Walmart, Target CEOs privately warned Trump tariffs could lead to empty shelves soon

Two U.S. retailers warned President Trump his sweeping tariff policy could disrupt supply chains and lead to empty shelves in the coming weeks.

www.cbsnews.com

Product shortages and empty store shelves loom with falling shipments from China

Retailers are warning that U.S. consumers could once again be faced with empty store shelves and the kind of supply chain snarls that marked the Covid era if President Donald Trump's tariffs on China remain at their current levels.

Well he and Musty Leon did say there was going to be some pain before all the winning starts

It will be interesting to see the ripples.

Even if there aren’t full layoffs , the amount of reduced hours at large employers like Amazon, Target, or Walmart might be the bigger problem. No stock means less work and less profit.

If you’re laid off, you can get unemployment. Reduced hours means your still employed but your bills are still the same.

Yup, all the factory workers, truckers, and Port workers. They the ones that’s gonna feel it first if not already. I expect huge layoffs in that sector.

I heard the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach already feeling the pain right now. Trump doesn’t know this but he’s gonna cause huge ripple affects soon. Even if he reverses the tariffs tomorrow it’s still gonna be a massive hit to the supply chain. This isn’t something you can turn on and off.

60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. So what happens when they can’t even afford Walmart anymore?

 

[peppe]

empty shelves, higher prices and forced student loan repayment

When i tell you when the government are going to take a cut of your paycheck before it hits your bank account. People will loose their minds

And they pray and pray for China's downfall....

Nobody cares about China one way or the other.....except you, you seem to really care about them. Which is odd.

@Gloxina @Vandelay

This is the problem with panic: toilet paper and paper towels are by far domestically made from companies like Georgia Pacific, etc.

But when people panic they buy shyt without rhyme or reason and it will still stock out despite not being directly impacted from tariffs.

I remember when the COVID panic buying kicked off and dudes at my local grocery store had carts full of bottled water

Toilet paper was untouched until the following week.

I didn’t literally mean paper products.

A bunch of things will be unavailable and folks will be upset. That was my point

It is going to be a HOT summer

 

[3rdWorld]

The US prior to tarrif's had great unfair deals it had cut with poor nations decades ago when countries were still fast asleep..
No nation now should now accept the old US terms, they would be doing the US a huge undeserved favor at their own expense..demand higher for your commodities and such and if the US wont pay tell them to

They send the police in to evict tens of thousands of families like they’re already doing.
