Just got 3 cool shirts from China in the mail today! I would buy USA made if they were available.

@GerOttman No matter the cost? Because US-made cool shirts are available - or is there a price limit on your patriotism?

@newjaninev2 The shirt was a lux expense in the first place. I do try to research my purchases and cost will often be a secondary consideration. Often the difference is not significant.

Most people think this is about tariffs. It’s not. We've dropped de minimis to $0 with one month’s notice, then we told foreign postal services to collect duties on our behalf. That’s... just dumb. FedEx, UPS, DHL, they can do it.. but national posts are scrambling. CBP doesn’t have the bandwidth, and platforms are still stunned. Small businesses are stuck in limbo, and consumers have no clue what’s coming.

TL:DR Trump installed a fire alarm after the building caught fire
