In Washington State, we haven't noticed any difference, yet. But, because of the idiots in Olympia, our gas prices continue to rise as the rest of the country falls. You see, in our state, the current and former governor fine refineries for... wait for it.. refining petroleum!
What makes you think shipping costs will rise?
What makes you think driving will become less affordable? We're not about to run short of petroleum.
The price hikes I've seen are the result of the Biden inflation. As of yet, I can't point to a single personal expense caused by the tariffs.
Are you more of a marionette or a hand up your ass puppet?

Unaffected mostly here but I shop mostly non-typical. I go to typical grocery stores but I also buy meat, vegetables, fruit, honey, etc from local farms. This year I have a pretty big garden and will expand for next year.
Honestly, when the boss buys American equipment for the lab, it breaks. The last bit lasted less than 6 months.
Why a smaller energy budget? And why would shipping costs increase? We're not about to run short of petroleum.
Completely unaffected. I continue to watch if my grocery bills are growing but it's difficult because I don't always buy the same things. Gas prices have actually dropped. I am still preparing for the likelihood that some things will get more expensive. It's still a bit early to be asking this. Maybe 2 or 3 months from now we'll have a better idea of how the tariffs are impacting not just the US, but globally as well.
Most likely June at the earliest. Personally I've been boycotting Chinese goods for 7 years unless the need is real and there is no alternative.
Could you tell me what's going on? There are no specifics in that 'deal' except maybe cars and beef mentioned. Did anyone order a Bentley or Jaguar and feel relieved that the import tax went down? How many blue-collar workers have their British car on order?
