Cedar Roach promptly checked out on $244 of workout gear from Lululemon (a Canadian brand) and a $150 sweater from House of Sunny (a U.K. brand) while Trump’s press conference played over the radio. Her boyfriend, Sean MacKenzie, ran out to buy three eight-packs of Guinness, filling up their refrigerator’s vegetable drawer with cans.
come on. these people's names are Felix bits. Cedar Roach? get out of here

name's Pine Beetle but my friends call me Bark 
If you can afford a $150 sweater on a whim why are you freaking out about tariffs?
$150 is fine, $180 is way over the line and completely unaffordable.
If this paragraph was a person I’d ring its neck.
This article is actually kind of validating. On Reddit it seems like there are only two kinds of people - smug preppers who already stocked up in November, and normies who don't really understand or care that much. But yeah, so much of the stuff around us depends on global supply chains and 10-50+% tariffs on the entire world means we are so unbelievably cooked.
This morning I sat down and made a list of stuff and divided it into high, medium, and low priority tiers based on severity of expected price increase and effect on my quality of life if I have to skimp or go without. I'm planning to spend the next few months diverting money I would have been investing to aggressively buy the high and medium prio stuff. High prio for me is tech and health related stuff - laptop, headphones, masks, tea, vitamins/supplements - a lot of it directly or indirectly from China. Medium prio is basically hygiene products and work gear. Low prio is household items I'll pick up when I can. Today ended up being a good day for me to get a vacuum - guess where it was made? Vietnam and China 😅
I work in a Tractor Supply type place and we've sold like 6 generators today.
This reminded me I need to get some solar capacity quick
Kikkoman is made in Wisconsin and California
That's the bastardized american version where they cut out the bits from the japanese show when kikkoman wasn't in costume.

Kikkoman is not a US company. It is headquartered in Noda, Japan. It may have some factories in America. That does not mean that it is an American company. They will likely face the tariffs. They probably import much of the ingredients from other countries.
I worked at a Japanese factory (not soy sauce) within America for 1 year. We made the product in America but it was still a Japanese-owned company. There were regularly overseers flying in from Japan to visit the factory. I had to fill out the paperwork with romanized Japanese words. I don't speak Japanese. I had to memorize new words for every terminology of the production process. It was kind of funny seeing white boomer American casually using these words. Just because a factory is located in US, doesn't mean that it is a US company.
1- buy them now in bulk
2- inflation goes up
3- tariff also makes the price goes up
4- resell them at lower market price
5-profit
I'll admit I bought a bunch of green tea and mirin in preparation for the tarrifs
Not rushing to buy La-li-lu-le-lo-lemon workout gear! You dont need it, I promise.
Are we?
according to the data you are
Woah how this plasma TV get in my house???
A diplomat and his family were tragically killed last night when an expired Plasma TV detonated in a home in the North Greely Estates. Police say, "sometimes plasma TVs will just do that." Experts say it's time to get an American-made OLED TV.
I must be doing it in my sleep.
Sorry for being flippant, I'm legitimately surprised at what my countrymen are focusing on.
Well, I just bought a couple cans of 5.56, a new optic, and some 60 round mags so not all of us are stocking up on Lululemon lol
Other than the optic (which might be German), isn't the gun industry pretty much untouched by the tariffs?
Oh haha probably
I discovered my EOTech sight was a fake yesterday then went on a bit of a spree, it wasn't really cause of the tariffs anyway
”Yes, I'd say it's a full scale panic. Are you having a run on the banks there yet? Well, it's rather brutal here. We're advising our clients to put everything they've got into canned food and shotguns.”
It will be Trumpets buying them to skew the data.
I've bought 3 CRTs in preparation for the coming Years Of OLED political strife.
As a kid I loved to watch the static and hear that rhythmic beeezzzz sound.
I still have my CRT because it was ridiculously heavy even before my hernia. Sometimes I consider lugging it back onto the desk to watch Svengoulie.
i'm not
