I like how the picture on the right is cheap plastic garbage and the one on the left is groceries
Which one do we import again, I forget
Good analogy is a bullet being fired. We don’t know exactly when it’s going to hit, but it’s too late to stop it now.
- 2nd April: liberation day
- 20-40 days transit time from china to US, so from next week we can assume to see actual stops in shipments,
- 10 days transit
People keep posting these weird pictures of shelves going bare but I have yet to see it. Post COVID retailers have at least several weeks worth of inventory so it will take a while before any of it is actually noticeable at the store shelf level.
If that what it takes to draw attention to the problem. We are way too dependent on other countries for basic survival.
over easter i got a chance to talk with family involved in small business & supply chain.
obviously i understood the policy implications but it's powerful to hear from people you love that they're already worse off.
The reason most people don’t care is because there is always someone who is predicting doom in one way or and it’s always “months away” and then the time comes and it’s never as bad as “they“ said it would be.
Whatever will Americans do when they can’t over consume cheap goods from foreign adversaries
Why are you comparing an empty food aisle with a fully aisle of shitty Chinese goods...?
Is there a single thought rolling around in that noggin buddy? 
Retarded ass. Do you even know what we import from China that's considered essential??? It's mostly Amazon resellers and overpriced clothing.
I agree w/those who want to make us less dependent on cheap Chinese crap. But it won't happen overnight, and voters who didn't like Trump but reluctantly voted for him b/c they were suffering from high prices under Biden won't be happy that he's driving prices even higher.
I don't think most people understand what a supply chain is, maybe they think things teleport from China when they press the wish-washy-wanty button
And one way or another, it's highly likely Trump will declare martial law, and take the nation to war (not necessarily in that order).
it's even starting to affect my line of work
which is electrical engineering
it's not a good sign that the jobs we're designing are running into material problems
I'm not sure I'm quite yet realizing all this is actually happening, until it all hits
There are way more countries than just China that make cheap crap. Cope and seethe
western hegemony and possibly western civil society is coming to an end and all we can do is argue about one gorilla vs 100 men on twitter. i guess it would be naive of me to expect anything else.
First off that’s a food shelf vs a toy shelf. We have plenty of food here. I also don’t care that we can’t import marvel figurines. The world will continue to spin.
Yesterday I tried to tell my favorite, long-time cashier at Target what’s about to happen, but she didn’t understand.
empty shelves is the ideal backdrop for a generals strike.
If Americans don’t strike with empty shelves shelves there is no helping them.
They want to be slaves.
As an Australian, I'm looking forward to it frankly. Cheaper goods for us.

Little bit sad that I don't work as a logistics guy because my job would have become a whole lot easier (if I didn't get laid off lmao)
Looking at the signal. Numbers are down, but all sides seem too devoted to extreme forecasting

If this does come to pass, it won't hit people till it actually happens. And even then there will be ardent denial
Yup, we simply stopped selling to China at work and my workload severely decreased

#Christmas Update. Here’s what needs to happen.
Christmas merch from Asia needs to be on the water by June 1.
In port by July 1.
At customer warehouses by August 1.
We are 32 days away from empty #Christmas shelves.
Yep even if shit was turned around today it's gonna take at least a month at the fastest for new ships to come buckle in for a bumpy may
Unfortunately many will suffer before #MAGAfucktards will admit they fucked up. Even then they'll do some mental gymnastics to blame Biden, or Globalists or some bullshit.
We heard the same fear mongering during COVID and it never materialized. I haven't seen any empty shelves.
Oh no the shelves full of useless plastic junk are empty what shall we do now
Yall wanted the scalping to stop lol this is one way to stop it! Now you get to sit and play the long game, who’s gonna break first, scalpers with direct connections or the usual Walmart buyer?
LET THE MARKETS BOIL.
LET THE STOCKS FALL.
THOUGH IT WILL TAKE EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BLOOD, I WILL SEE AMERICA MADE GREAT AGAIN.
BUT IF I CANNOT SAVE IT FROM YOUR FAILURE, BOOMERS...
THEN LET THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER BURN.

Hey, fag.
I’m not tangentially but rather directly involved in supply chains and things are just fine with the exception of some FTZ shenanigans.
They/them with the chinese flag in the bio is posting pro China anti America propaganda and people fall for it lmao
God willing, manufacturing comes back and American goods can start being made. The advent of cheap Chinese shit (49% of their total exports) has led to a trend in appliances and goods that can't last more than a few years. You can still make vintage American appliances work.
You people have learned nothing from Covid
The great reset is weaponized supply and energy lines being constrained to lay siege to civilian populations & now it’s happening and you fucks are surprised & unprepared?
Wake up this is the world now get your shit together
Something went wrong. Try reloading.
