From what I’m reading, the troubles should start to pick up now; harbors being quieter, truckers not having work, … Are any shortages noticeable yet?

Businesses have been filling their inventories. That’s ending now. Economic pain in terms of job losses should accelerate now. It will still take up to a few weeks before inventories run empty, and the full impact hits consumers. Even a full reversal of Trumpism couldn’t prevent knock-on effects that last into next year.

    the shortages and disruptions have been happening and Trump is not the end all be all of all things just another puppet that was voted in selected by the elites

    been an issue worse since covid and not just because of tariffs or what presidential puppet sits in the white house

    no preparing for something when we have nothing to start preparing with in the first place

    at least in the United States you have lots of people at the bottom, some in the upper middle, and very few elites that control it all
