These are for sure challenging times for a lot of industries like that. I think one of the issues is that we are far too accustomed to subsidized goods which doesn’t bring the cost to actual numbers but keeps it far lower than it would. Not that subsidies are necessarily in play here but we so often don’t get an idea of what things really cost until it changes.

The insidious part about the tariffs is that the conglomerates are still going to make money hand over fist but the people are the ones that suffer. We do need to fix the trade issues though, so this was inevitable.
