The Real timschochet 6,807 Posted June 25 So economists predicted that we would start to see price increases by the middle of the summer and that’s starting to happen. So far the worst affected are toys and other products mostly made in China. It isn’t quite too late yet to avoid most of the pain that’s about to happen. Even now Trump can either announce a new deal with China and others, or he can come up with some new excuse to unilaterally reverse himself. Either way though it’s got to be fairly soon. The clock is ticking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prices are fine. Give real examples of these toy prices from 4 years ago on this date until now. And tell me all the prices of life staples such as food and clothing and etc, and how they are directly affected by the tariffs in a technical sense instead of your generic daily fear mongering. Don't forget to factor in inflation, regulations, supply and demand, product quality, company stats, government policies, wages, etc at the time, including trade deals, shipping issues, and other relevant info. Or, just keep fear mongering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike 5,563 Posted June 25 Jesus. Every freaking time @The Real timschochet posts it's about what is ABOUT to happen, or MIGHT happen in a few months. For once, can't you wait until something ACTUALLY happens before posting? I guess not because that would cut your posting down by two thirds since you post BEFORE something happens, WHEN you THINK it's happening, and then AFTER it DOESN'T happen when you get called out. If you ONLY posted when things ACTUALLY happened you'd only be able to post one third as many posts as you do, and that would drive you nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Artest 1,556 Posted July 1 90 deals in 90 days? Time's almost up, less than a week left. How many deals do we have? 1. UK. Trump's plan now? Write letters to each country telling them what their tariff rate is. You guys remember liberation day and what happened to the market that necessitated the pause? The Market has priced in no new tariffs, priced in that Trump learned his lesson and will not do it again. Taco. We shall see.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
