Did you write a letter to all the big retailers thanking them for buying up as much stock as they could before Trumps tariffs took effect ?
That is one of the reasons the shit hasn't hit the fan yet.
Give it time, Prices are already going up on some of the things tariffs are on and have finally worked through the supply chain.
A lot of people have already started to feel the effects of the price increases and they have only started.
Heck soybean farmers are already crying for the taxpayer to bail them out AGAIN thanks to Trumps tariffs and driving the Chinese market away from them.

But the price of just about everything we buy IS going up.
And it IS going to hurt a LOT of Americans, MAGAS included.
Again give it time for the supply chain to catch up.
Don't you realize that there ARE people out there right now working two jobs JUST to get by and with the cuts in a lot of federal programs they depend on to get by they will not have those to fall back on and they could lose everything they have?
Again NOT all of Trumps tariffs have worked through the supply chain , thanks to the big retailers buying up billions of dollars of goods and storing them to sell later and now those goods are almost all gone and the goods that have Trumps tariffs are just getting put on the shelves now.
Heck read the news Trumps tariffs are hurting a lot of farmers, soybean farmers have lost the Chinese market Thanks to Trumps tariffs and are expecting the U S Taxpayer to bail them out AGAIN , some other farmers are saying with the cost of fertilizer and other things they need to stay in business going up, Thanks to Trumps tariffs, they may not make it and are talking about going bankrupt.
Why don't you wake up and see just what Trump and his tariffs are doing to this country?

Well wake up and look around there are a lot of people working two jobs, I know several working 3 and one working 4 , all part time and there aren't many full time jobs now.
One more thing ARE prices going up because of Trumps tariffs?
If you haven't noticed they ARE.
And again NOT all of Trumps tariffs have worked through the supply chain yet and when they do ALL of us including you and the other MAGAS will be paying more for just about EVERYTHING we buy.
 
Uh oh... interesting that there's no weight on the "big" box...lol... Who knew crackers came in different size boxes?🙃
