People are only going to start feeling it in the next 2-3 months when front loaded inventory is gone.

I don’t think they’ll be bleak per say but everything will be 20% more expensive. With Q2 results retailers are warning that they’ll be passing off costs to consumers. And this is all while companies are scaling back hiring and others are sliming their workforce down.

More mortgages and car loans are also going into foreclosure. Sub primes are getting to around 3% default rate.

I agree. With prices up there will be less stock as there will be less buyers. No one will want to import inventory like before.

C.D.C. Uncertainty Upends Covid Vaccine Access at CVS and Walgreens

State laws and regulatory chaos are driving the country’s largest pharmacy chains to require prescriptions or hold back altogether unless a C.D.C. panel acts.

www.nytimes.com

Well, I just scheduled mine a few minutes ago for Sunday. Flu, Pneumonia & Shingles pt 1 (I'll do Covid a few days later). I need these all with being immunocompromised. If I get any **** from them about delaying it, or suspending them, I'll lose my ****!

**** you RFK!

Oh, and for anyone out there, do yourself a favor and get a shingles vaccine! That illness is NO ******* JOKE! Had it twice in the last 10 years and it's SERIOUSLY debilitating! Pain like you wouldn't believe and depending on where it's at on your body, it radiates to affect other parts.

Had it on my tailbone back in 2017 (if I remember right) and it affected the muscles & nerves in my legs to the point I could barely walk .

Could this be it?

Went to order some stuff from Corteiz since they’re having a sale. Got hit with a $61 fee for customs/tariffs. That **** wiped out a 20% discount and added some cost on the top.

Total first world problem, but damn what a ******* utter buffoon this guy is for ending the exemptions. If I walked away from a little purchase like that, imagine all the other people doing the same. **** is gonna cause havoc for a lot of businesses globally.

100%! I placed an order for some apparel from Classic Team Lotus in Hethel GB. Placed it last Saturday. Thankfully they complied the order rather quickly and got it on the FedEx plane on Tuesday and it got to NY and through customs less than a day later. Got it delivered yesterday, so no tariff or extra duty required.

Same with an item I got from eBay. A complete workshop manual for a TVR. Like, it shows EVERYTHING!! Something that CAN NOT be purchased here. These manuals are RARE and basically never come up for sale over in the UK. One popped up so I had to ask the seller to quote me a price to post from GB. All in it was over $350 and he sent it out just before GB and a whole bunch of other countries shut down mail to the US (due to the tariffs and De Minimus ending). Got it on Wednesday and thanked my lucky stars it didn't get sent back.

Needed this as the thought of importing a TVR Tuscan Speed Six via the 25 year rule is VERY VERY TEMPTING. Just have to find out from a few sources, i.e. car importers, if older cars have the tariff added in. They don't from Canada (only the original 2.5% duty still applies) so I don't believe it affects 25 year old cars from other countries (tariffs only affects NEW cars). If it's clear, THIS is a necessity item to learn how to keep the straight six motor & overall car running!

Him ending De Minimus SUCKS ROYALLY! I'm done ordering ANYTHING overseas! Including ANYTHING from eBay (I found several of my Ayrton Senna vintage hats there). And a lot of people on this site who get shoes & other stuff from stores overseas, don't understand what this has done for this hobby and will do moving forward. We're basically being told to only buy here or pay the piper!

100%! But they wouldn't even understand why it's important! Maybe when they start feeling sick, they should go see their accountant for medical advice.

WA congressional candidate’s husband, a military veteran, taken into ICE custody

A veteran, married to a congressional candidate, was detained by ICE in Washington.

www.kiro7.com

Melissa Chaudhry is running for Congress in Washington’s 9th District and is married to Pakistani native Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry. The couple thought Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry was taking a step toward citizenship when he arrived for an interview at an immigration office in Tukwila. Instead, he was detained by ICE.

I'm almost certain this administration has a year long to do list designed to disrupt people's lives, hog the spotlight, and make everything dull, miserable, and whitewashed.
