#1 Seems like everything sold thru Amazon comes from China. Bozo may need to downscale his wedding plans.

#2 With the possible exception of Lowe's, Not A Problem. And that's only because they're closer.
And don't forget about Harbor Freight, where literally everything came from China except the clerks.

#5 Some of my feeds are like, "Come purchase your overseas ammo (PMC, for example) before tariffs take place."

Other feeds, "The reason your new Nintendo Switch will be more expensive and hard to find is because Trump tariffs." Sure, OK, whatever.

And a third, "Wall Street has lost $10 Trillion! because Trump tariffs!!#@!", from the Occupy Wall Street associates, natch.

Now, if you remember, something similar with Ammo happened with the Obama ban on overseas/Russian ammo and etc. and -Iam Malcomlm- "Life found a way." Maybe Lake City, example, gears it up. The catch might be Prvi Partizan which makes some 'off broadway' sizes.
