    This is going to be a huge part of it in the coming days. How the fuck do you sort that out? People have already been hit. Inventory is already here and has been taxed. Who gets paid back? Who is going to buy the tariffed goods knowing the next shipment will be cheaper?

      Friends of mine in the board game industry have already laid off all their employees during the 145% tariffs.

        Yeah, several board game companies straight up closed. Trump killed small businesses. Trump killed family owned farms. Trump killed people with his covid shit policies.
