But the hard fact is that what will happen is NOT a bunch of import tariff money pouring in...

Delivery jobs?
Going, going, gone...

Import/Export companies?
Going, going, gone...

Consumer spending?
Going, going, gone...

Global trade and economy?
Going, going, gone...

401(k) balances?
Going, going, gone...

The ceaseless feedback loop?
Great Depression 2.0 coming soon to a kitchen table near you.

Thanks MAGA voters.

I brought a lamp that had a local seller on Sunday and didn’t pay extra for a tariff.

On the site they say local sellers. So if you still buy there look for local sellers.
