    I hope the tariffs have nothing to do with empty shelves

    I've been going to stores and they are out of different stuff and some shelves are empty.
    I hope this is just a coincidence.

      It's food products as well.. You think stuff from China is only the "end" product? The beer industry stated yesterday that about 40,000 jobs have been lost in the beer industry since the first round of tariffs that affected aluminum..

      https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...s-jobs-decline

      A report by two trade groups showed U.S. beer-industry jobs dropped 40,000 since 2016 as metal tariffs boosted aluminum-can costs, leading to a drop in investment. The biennial study by the Beer Institute and National Beer Wholesalers Association said direct, indirect and induced jobs fell to 2.19 million in 2018 from 2.23 million in 2016.

            Baddog, also known online as "The Craft Beer Guy", you know the guy who goes around to different craft beer breweries all around the country and puts them on his website, he's a trump supporter and he defended Trump aluminum tariffs and said it wouldn't impact the craft beer industry at all.

            Now he just comes in and avoids talking politics other than to insult people personally when they have a view different then the typical far right Trump supporter. Sad that these Trump supporters vote against their interests and even when it impacts the negatively they still support their dictator in chief.

              That's not where they get the bulk of the products from. Those stores are "fake overstock" brick and mortars. They have vendors just like every other B&M store in existence. They largely sell cheap crap imported directly for their stores. The buying overstock nonsense is simply a marketing ploy..
