Dear Andrew Yang is right to sound the alarm. A 35% drop in shipping volume at the Port of Los Angeles isn’t just a logistics issue... it’s a leading indicator of supply chain disruption. If the current trend holds, U.S. consumers will start to see shortages on store shelves in
Personally as a mid/low class person in NY, could care less. Have had to tighten my belt for the past 4 years because of inflation, what’s a few more months while Trump negotiates better deals that will not only help me but my young children.
I thought you were smart Andrew?
It takes average 8 weeks from order to shelf, the American consumer will feel the pain caused by tariffs by end of May.
通常從訂單到上架是8週，在五月底美國消費者會開始感受到關稅帶來的壓力。

China’s Grocery Stores: If the trade war escalates, Chinese grocery shelves would see immediate gaps in tofu, soy milk, pork, and imported beef. Prices could spike 15-20% for soy products and 10-15% for meat, hitting low-income
When that happens, will Trump declare the stores to be enemies of the state?
Recently, Walmart announced its decision to shift toward offering more American-made products, joining other companies in prioritizing domestic manufacturing.

We’ve been selling off our tooling, molds, setups and machines for decades.
Even if we magically get all the moldings and machines back…
Where do we get
Yeah, it’s gonna be painful. Ripping off the Band-Aid always hurts. Politicians will never do anything like this. China has all it ships off the coast of China, waiting to be shipped to the US, hoping that the tariffs will be reduced before these ships get into port. Where are
About 5 weeks until people start noticing more American products on store shelves.
Andrew doesn't want that.
Hopefully, there will be little to no Chinese products. Don’t you get it? That is the plan. Amazon is also going to feel the effect of their political stunt to post fictitious tariffs fees. There will be little sympathy for Amazon, a company that maintains insane profits.
I wonder what kind of "stuff" will decrease. The article gives only one example of having to buy a purple shirt instead of a blue one. During covid we were missing food.
5 weeks until people start to noticing slave labor communist Chinese products missing from shelves. Fix it for ya Your welcome
We’re in a trade war. Finally fighting back against a country that’s been ripping us off to the tune of hundreds of billions a year. And the dems take chinas side to score political points. So pathetic.
About five weeks until we see more AMERICAN MADE products on the shelves ! There I fixed it for ya !
It’s a great thing. Can you imagine us realizing how much of their stupid shit we don’t need. Going to be epic.
Can’t imagine, in this country, there ever being anything, especially from China, that would be critical to the wellbeing of any American. You seem to forget there are still people living, who went through genuine shortages; and you denigrate today’s younger folks as though you
I rarely see store shelves period. Everything needs to be ordered online.
The Dollar store is going to be so, so sad. What are we going to do without all the cheap plastic crap? Asking for my landfill.
We are well aware... it may be an inconvenience for a bit, but in the long run, Trump's tariffs will benefit the American People.
Great times for Americans to get back to work and make the products they consume! Never knew you were a patriot, Mr Yang! Always thought you were a laptop class communist. Glad to see your patriotism.
China's economy is propped up entirely by mass producing bullshit to the United States we are the number one economy. China cannot find enough trading partners to make up for the loss of the United States, nor will they have enough trading partners to purchase the volume we did.
Have you been in a store the last 5 years? I have been noticing that phoneme the entire last 5 years.
And? This idea that Americans have to be compulsive shoppers every fucking day they are alive is ridiculous. If you have food to eat, clothes on your back, and a roof over your head stop complaining. You're willing to give up the whole chicken for just the feet because you feel
Really? I thought you might have been someone from the left that was actually serious.
The big companies already stocked up with months of inventory. Everyone will move over to consignment sales.
It will happen eventually but better bet Trump is gking to make it look like its the art of the deal.
A lot can happen in 5 weeks! Plus, it's farmers market season! Here’s an idea how about the Democrats stop bitching about stuff and start offering REAL solutions or go with the program!
Good
That’s more $$ staying in our pockets
Or is it the conspiracy theory of “you will own nothing”
And soon it will be replaced with American goods that actually help Americans
Bet. Pick the store and the shelf now. Pics now and in 5 weeks. Before and after.
About 5 weeks until people start noticing CHINESE stuff not on store shelves.
There, I fixed it for you.
So you are saying it will be just like the first 3+ years of the Biden admin . . .
Oh no!!! The shelves won't have as much "made in China" crap for us to buy. Whatever shall we do? It's a good thing the only food products that come from China are the toxic supplements and fish from the disgusting fish farms that they intentionally mislabel as wild caught.
Other countries will step up manufacturing.
On the bright side, if you're not spending money you're saving it.
We’re used to it. No problem. Don’t want stuff made with slave labor, and now we’ll know just who in the US is a dirt bag profiting off it.
Learning to live with less “stuff” may possibly be the best thing that could happen to our planet.

Left out key words, start noticing stuff made in China not on store shelves. May seem like a lot at first, but made in USA will take over.
port of los angeles bracing for a 35% collapse in cargo next week as tariffs choke trade — shelves about to look a lot emptier, and it’s just getting started.
How would the Port of LA know? Their union maffia only allows them to work at 17% capacity anyway
“Stuff”
Exactly Americas problem
Obsessed with “stuff”
It’s a good thing. I’m sick of all the “stuff”
Yes. Because cheap Chinese crap hasn't been a problem all this time. It's been the key to our bright future!
Andrew, reversing the elimination of the middle class is not going to be pain free. For the better off, it’s an inconvenience. For the former middle class, there’s not much solace in shelves full of things you can’t afford. That’s why Trump won.
You mean 5 weeks until people see America products on the shelf
Replacing the crap we're getting imported
Build in America 
Not in Phoenix. Stuffed to the rafters. Where are you talking about?
I'm sure we'll survive, Andy. Go back to hawking your guaranteed income for everyone.
This is what China can do to the US anytime time we misbehave. It is time to end our dependence on them.
We don’t care we’re not supporting China anymore.
Nobody can afford to buy anything anyway.
You’re such a buffoon.
A crackhead and his mother ran this country into the ground for four years.
When did democrats start loving slave labor so much? Oh, wait….Materialistic fools.
