    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.

      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.

      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.

            Other than the optic (which might be German), isn’t the gun industry pretty much untouched by the tariffs?

    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 😅
