The Supply Shock No One’s Ready For!!!

Trump raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%, and like clockwork, cargo shipments collapsed by 60%. For now, store shelves look normal but by mid-May, Americans might be shopping in the “empty aisle” section.

Retailers like Walmart and Target are warning: higher prices are coming and shelves could soon look like they’re on a diet.

Factories, ports, and truckers are already slowing down. Even if tariffs magically disappeared tomorrow, restarting the flow would jam the ports worse than a Black Friday sale.

Inflation is set to climb, recession risks are flipping coins, and Americans are nervously calculating if this Christmas will need to be “Do it yourself gifts.” Many importers are scrambling to shift orders to Southeast Asia, but the gap left by China is simply too big.

The strange part is this whole mess could be solved with one decision but when has politics ever taken the easy road?
