The TikTok shop and Alibaba (basically, Chinese knockoffs of various things) are certainly going to stop shipping to the US over the de minimis exemption being ended and a $25/item duty imposed. A $10 tool with a $25 duty won't make sense, so folks will just buy from retail stores stores that will jack up the prices anyway. Customs will take weeks to clear packages, if they clear them at all.
The whole country should just learn how to chill and take the L.
"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

"Take the L and chill." Get it right, man.
Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
It's confounding how Trump's defenders accept his declarations about how everyone is ripping us off and these tariffs are intended to level the playing field. That's simply untrue--sure, there are specific examples of unfairness but overall the global economy has favored, not hurt, the U.S. But as I've ranted many times before, Trump has gone through life believing the "other guy" is ripping him off, whether it's regulatory agencies, the legal system, his vendors, opponents, competitors, or the others in his golf foursome (this is well-documented), and it helps justify in his amoral mind his corner-cutting, cheating, and demonstrably lousy business decisions. I long for the day when he joins his mentor, Roy Cohn, in whatever post-mortal hell awaits him.

This is mostly the work of Pete Navarro whispering in Trump’s ear. Pete, the 20 year professor of economics from the esteemed institution of. . . UC Irvine.
How does the compare to Hillary? This seems pretty intentional
It’s as bad as Hillary
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
Is this the bottom? Please tell me this is the bottom.
"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
"It's no secret that the great American pastime is no longer baseball. Now it's sanctimony." -- Guy Periwinkle, The Nix.
