News in Chinese in China reports that consumers in the US have felt the increased prices of groceries and they have rushed into the shops to take whatever they can put hands on. Is that true?

Hope you will not wipe your ass with fingers after shitting like Indians one day, when the tissue runs out of stock. God bless America!

No, there is no looting.

On April 5th (or yesterday), I received a call from a friend in New York, and he described the situation there, which was quite scary. It is said that it is because the United States imposes tariffs, and now New York is in chaos. The main reason is that the goods are too expensive, and the prices of a lot of imported goods, especially those from China, including soy sauce, tissues, TVs and others have risen madly.

Everyone was worried that goods would be more expensive in the future, so they rushed to the supermarket to shop till the shelves were empty. What’s even more uncomfortable is that at first, everyone thought that the tariffs were paid by the Chinese, but later they found that they themselves paid for them out of their own pockets.

I originally expected to save money, but now I have to spend more money to buy things. Many people complain that this is shooting themselves in the foot. My friend said that many people in New York now cannot buy cheap imported goods, and everyone is very anxious and dissatisfied with the government's policies.

To be honest, I can understand their feelings, and this situation is really worrying. Soy sauce jumped from $3 per bottle to $4.2, and the housewives settled the bill and found that the monthly seasoning cost more than twenty dollars. The supermarkets have posted notices on purchase restrictions, saying that toilet paper is limited to two pieces for each buyer, and the checkout line was lined up to the parking lot. Some retired old men complained that pensions could not keep up with the price increase at all.

In the past, I quit going to Chinese restaurants every week. Data from the department that manages prices says that imported home appliances have risen by 30%, and the price of 55-inch TVs has increased by $200. The warehouse owner revealed that the inventory was only enough to sell for half a month, and the shipping fee for new orders doubled compared to last year. The small community supermarket simply removed the Asian food shelves and replaced it with expensive locally produced goods.

A university professor calculated the accounts and ordinary families spent an extra $150 a month, which was equivalent to two days amount of pension income. When chatting from the neighbors, they said that when buying meat, they would pick the parts with more flesh, and replace fresh vegetables with frozen packaged ones. A new second-hand goods market was opened next to the gas station, and even the used rice cooker was hot for rush shopping.

A survey shows that 70% of the people originally supported the increase in tariffs, but now 60% regret it. Community councillors were asked during a meeting why they didn’t explain the price makeup clearly earlier, and the scene became so chaotic that it almost led to violence to each other.

An Old John, who drives the truck, said he had carried 30% less goods and the company had laid off five drivers. Experts analyzed that this wave of price increases will continue until at least next spring, and institutions that print money predict that the speed of printing money will become faster. The traders privately said that many stores are looking for alternative sources of goods from Vietnam and India, but the quality of those goods is poor but the price is not much cheaper.

Is this an AI account?

I wasn't but when I saw the pictures from our local one I was shocked and wished I had. Sidewalks on both sides of the main street completely packed with protesters. My elderly mother was there with her senior group. Many women I know were posting pictures from protests around the country.

Unfortunately a project I am working on has me working 6 days a week or else I would have been there.

That picture from Portland is fake news. MAGA's have been saying BLM burned it to the ground....

They also say that Soros sponsored the BLM riots. Don't be like MAGATs.

The extreme overpopulation and crowding of a city such as NYC can rapidly escalate briefly empty shelves into a disaster. Maybe a few more people will start thinking about safer places to live, and other options for butt sanitation.

When I opened the lunchmeat container my cat arrived to collect her cat tax. That part of supply and demand is still in effect.

 

[Bray123]

An explanation of trade deficits simple enough for maybe even MAGAts to understand:
https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/editorials/2025/04/05/chaos-follows-trumps-liberation-day

Let’s say you want a good sandwich. Bob can make it better or more cheaply or more conveniently than you can.

You pay Bob $5. Bob hands you your sandwich.

Yes, Bob gets your money, but you get the sandwich you wanted at the price you were willing to pay. You arguably have a $5 trade deficit with Bob, because Bob didn’t buy anything from you.

Donald Trump would argue that you’re propping Bob up with a $5 subsidy.

But you didn’t subsidize Bob. Bob did not steal anything from you. You didn’t give Bob a gift — you chose to buy his sandwich for your own reasons.

Much the way Americans have chosen to buy products from Canada or any other nation — because the value or quality was worth the money.

Trump has decided to add a tariff, a tax on Bob’s sandwiches. At the rate of 25 per cent, that increases the price of the sandwich to $6.25 — which you will have to pay, because Bob can’t just lose money selling sandwiches. He either has to pass the cost on to you — like he’d pass on price increases in cheese or ham or lettuce — or stop selling you sandwiches and take his business somewhere else.

Donald Trump doesn’t understand that, but a host of economists do. And they’ve suggested what’s likely to come next — significant inflation for American consumers, chaos in the global supply chain, and, most likely, layoffs and business closures. Stock markets are already delivering their verdicts — stocks lost US$2 trillion in value on Trump’s actions on Thursday morning alone.

Tariffs are taxes, paid by the end-consumer. Not by the sending country.
Tariffs are lodged against all products, in the fuel for delivery trucks, in the materials that delivery trucks are made out of. You cannot escape the Trump-Taxes.

Customers and suppliers in my industry have been rushing to get orders in and stock piling inventory in hopes to get materials before Trumpflation gets worse. The surge will make this quarter’s numbers look better than the next quarter.

 

[nowisthetime]

Why do these MAGAts go to these protests just to antagonize people? So many people have lost their livilihoods, retirement savings, etc and then these MAGAts want to bother people. Then they get their asses handed to them when they harass folks. MAGAts are so stupid supporting a leader who doesn't give a shit about them. I guess their reason for living is pure hatred and wickedness.

Nailed it. For examples just check out Wat, HisArpy, I canhelp1, kingdjt, babyboomer50, rebel5soul....every single one of them....

It’s about fucking time people stood up to this stupid dictator and got him out….sooner the better ……to bad that shot in the ear wasn’t between the eyes.

Donald Trump wasn't shot on July 13th, 2024. The assassination attempt was faked to get the fist-pump photo
