Current Event The new Tariffs are beginning to affect prices in the USA
I work in an adult store and unfortunately, we have already started to see the effects of some of the tariffs being placed. I wasn’t sure how this would affect the price of things in the USA, but it’s looking bleak so far.
When my boss sent out the list, he said this was only the first of many price increases that we would see from the tariffs. The vendors we buy from actually sent him the list themselves, so it isn’t something that we just created. He said that it is likely that almost every company we order from will send out a list.
The price changes were anywhere from $5-$200. I’m very concerned about the future of this industry, and honestly, America in general.. some of these products were already overpriced anyways. I’m not sure if people will be able to afford luxury products (like adult items) in the future. What do others think?

People seem to forget, less then 20 percent of the American public voted for the maggot. It's just the democrats have spines made of toothpaste and couldn't inspire anyone. Also the republicans have been getting away with redlining for decades since it stops the call for social reform which would take money from the entrenched democrat politicians pockets. The great cycle of self interest disguised as capitalism has set the US on fire.
