I didn't realize Christmas is about toys or getting junk
Greg Ahearn, President and CEO of The Toy Association, told CNN: "A 145-percent tariff is tough on any industry, but ours is truly unique from the standpoint that 96 percent of the manufacturers here in the U.S. are considered small- or medium-sized businesses. So when you think about these businesses, and a 145-percent tariff being put on them, it's untenable for them."
"No toys are currently being produced in China. And there are reports that major retailers here in the U.S. are starting to actually cancel orders," He added. "Christmas is at risk."
How exactly is Christmas at risk??? Christmas isn't about getting crap, but that's what we've turned it into, sadly. "I better get something this year" people gripe. It's sad honestly. I need nothing to have an awesome Christmas and everyone in this world should realize Christmas is not about getting physical things.
