    Nah, you already got the answer: it’s business leadtimes for the next 2-3 quarters (at least) and the contract prices thereof.

    And based on the current collapse in shipping & transport times for same,
    the pain is going to start to hit in May - June timeframe.

    Likely to also include a big crimp on July 4th fireworks too, since most fireworks sold in the US are made in China.

    I cannot wait until this summer when the
    MAGAs discover all the national park restrooms
    are closed because of Musk mass firings and
    road maintainance has stopped because of Musk
    mass firings and power outages are happening

    Honestly, it' not likely to go that far. Trump is finding that his
    voice is not the loudest in the room. While there are voices that can successfully tell him no on his economic plan, what are we going to do
    about the other wreckage?


    Has anyone before told him NO in a way he cannot ignore?

    He is in deep denial but he cannot do what he wants.
