Product shortages and empty store shelves loom with falling shipments from China

Businesses have been canceling orders for products from China after Trump imposed a 145% tariff on most Chinese imports, risking product shortages for American consumers.

I don't think MAGA's gonna get a lot of unemployed tech or truck workers to move to Florida to start picking fruit at $7.15 an hour if they were somehow paying that much anyways.

It's simple.

1: Deport Immigrants
2: Use Tariffs to keep out affordable products, and create terrible low wage jobs only immigrants would do.

Thing is the Fox News and MAGA platforms went all in on giving the rich everything that they needed immigrants to make the system work.

Then they reversed course and went all apeshit on their own immigrant workers to demonize them.

Sorta reminds me of them saying Obama would be a dictator with death panels.. but when the actual dictator shows up.. they don't say shit even though they're complaining about retribution being real.

If only it was real. Trump would have never seen a second term.
