What a fucking idiot. Dude can't even commit to his own shit. TaRIfF iS ThE mOsT bEaUtiFuL wOrD.

At this point, we just need to classify US trade and foreign policy as "deranged" and find stable trading partners.

Yep, all the pain and no gain. Already cancelled my Walmart Delivery Pass and swapped to PC Express. Now I’m locked in for a year. That’s a year of groceries Walmart lost over this.

Personally I’ll be operating like this until the threats are gone, not just delayed, and even years into the future I’ll be much more cognizant of where my goods are coming from.

Bought a bunch of BBC Planet Earth 4K BluRays direct from them because the only other reasonably priced option was Amazon and I’m avoiding them if possible.

BluRays using technology from Japan, pressed in China, containing a documentary series from the UK, purchased in Canada in CAD direct from the UK distributor.

Should be fine, right? Shipped from the US. Such nonsense.

Yeah, pretty much. I hope our governments can start building trade deals (and improve shipping to) other partners.
