I had a bunch of things in my cart. A bike tire went from $18.50 to $25. Two pairs of insoles went from 1.60 to 2.80. An elbow sleeve from 2.50 to 3.66. Happened overnight! Trump needs to stop playing nice with china. Make them remove their tariffs and we'll remove ours. I suggest he kick out the 300,000 chinese citizens in our colleges. They're all spies anyway.

China isn't paying those tariffs.... you are.

You guys are really dumb that you can't see how Trump is screwing you.

Don't shop there, then. Chinese good are going to go high, and if you want them, you will pay the tariff to get them. It's not like other governments pay the tariffs. You pay them at the check out.

We call this "tariffs".

I shop. I don't just go buy the cheapest. I buy American if it is the best product, in my price range. I used to be a buyer, and I mostly bought American products. But, if my customer wanted a product, because of it's superior features, and benefits that nobody else was carrying, and would pay a decent gross profit margin price on the product they wanted, I was all for it, no matter where it came from. We started carrying a brand of skylights, strictly because I came across them on an overseas trip, recognized the quality and features, superior to the name brand American product offerings, came back home and took them on. They did well for several years, though higher in cost to us, and we charged a lucrative higher than average GPM price. There actually is a market for quality. My boss, sometimes dabbled in cheap import jambs, at prices he thought too good to pass up. We got bit in the butt, on several occasions as the quality of the product, by the tractor trailer load, was far worse, than expected, or that our customers would settle for, based on price point, alone.
 
It gets better.

I recently bought a new car. I chose to do it now rather than a year or two from now, because Trump's Tariffs are going to drive up the cost of a car, even one made in the US.

This will be my sixth car since I started driving in the 1980s. The first one was a Chevy Chevette, the others have all been Fords.

Trump can't make anybody do anything. This you need to earn.

You are conflating 2 separate things. Tariffs are an import tax that China most certainly pays. They try to compensate by raising their prices on the taxed goods, so it is up to us to by American. Class dismissed.

He's getting rid of the illegals and that's the big thing. As for the tariffs, other countries hit us with their tariffs. Trump is fighting back.
 
Don't care, don't shop on that site.
Have heard WAY to many horror stories.
what horror stories? I know they are deceptive. They give the price for the low-priced version of something and show a pic of the high-priced version. But they WERE extremely cheap.
 
Temu! I cannot believe you actually bought something from Temu. Don't you read the reviews?

Are you fucking retarded?

Okay. I am buying a widget from China for $100. Except now that Widget costs $245.00. China still gets it's $100. The government gets its $145. I am the one out the $245 for the product that shouldn't have cost me more than $100.

Now, I am oversimplifying because I'm dealing with MAGA morons. There is always additional distribution costs, overhead, and profits that the middleman gets, which is why buying from China was so attractive to him to start with.

Getting rid of the illegals just means that housing and produce will cost more as there will be less people to process it.

Trump is appealing to your small minded bigotries while he fucks you in the ass with no lube.

And you are stupid enough to keep bending over.

Temu is renowned for slave Chinese labour. Why not have a bunch of things in your cart from your own country suppliers?
