  Anyone who is paying attention has already started…

  Fortunately, most day to day needs are not shipped from china; TP and foodstuffs. But the darkest part of this is the knock on effects-- tech; hard drives, phones and devices; toys and consumer goods

  If they are not being shipped, they don’t need longshoremen to unload-- they don’t need truckers to get them to distribution centers- they don’t need people to work in the stores. And when all those people lose hours or jobs; they can’t spend money at other stores or restaurants…

  The USA is a goods and services economy and when you gut goods; no one can afford any services.

  We rely on trade and the President has such a bass awkward understanding of economics and is so dogmatic in his refusal to listen

  Yeah we’re fucked.

  Anyone in Norway want to adopt me?
