You think its bad now? Wait until all those Chinese cargo ships don't arrive with the retail resupply in another week or two.

And the ones arriving are coming at a premium. And it's not only because of the value of the tariffs. There are plenty of people complaining that American companies are being required to pay imports up front because no one wants to take the risk of rejected deliveries due to surprise tariffs. This often means that American companies will need to get loans to pay for their orders, and those costs will be passed to the customers.

I also saw posts of people saying that hospitals aren't buying some medical equipment anymore because the sales price is locked by contracts with insurance companies and buying it from China would put them at a loss, so it's more profitable to refuse service to patients - hurray for private healthcare ! /s

Holy fuck, it's only been 100 days?? It feels like this has been going on for like 3 years. Holy fuck, dude. Fuck.

Not even a tenth of the way there!

[–] uuldika@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 days ago

how the fuck am I supposed to handle 10x more of this? it feels like a bad acid trip.

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If only anything mattered anymore.

Maybe it will. Apart from money, ratings are about the only other thing he seems to care about. This is probably chewing him up inside. This seems like the sort of news that commands his attention. The sort of thing to raise his blood pressure.

It would be interesting if a stupid poll, the least amount of effort the public could politically participate in, becomes the straw that broke his back.

You guys ready for the mass panic in a few weeks when stores stop stocking new items ?

I mean, people are strapped in Walmart on a regular day, imagine in the middle of a shortage

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 24 points 3 days ago

Unless it translates into actual opposition, this means nothing.

[–] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Who the hell had an equal or lower approval rating 80 years ago? I'm surprised this doesn't say lowest ever

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is it since people started measuring this or did somebody make a worse government there 80 years ago?

[–] pwnicholson@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago

Since these polls were started in 1945. He broke his own record set in 2017.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I’m so sick of hoping that…if we’re lucky the soulless MAGAts (Nazis) might turn against him this time.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago

That’s impressive, considering he wasn’t even alive 80 years ago.

The Orange Turd is just as despicable is the MAGAts that support him.

Flip flopper in chief?
