I'm curious to hear stories. Aside from generally higher prices, I've been mostly ok. But yesterday I was going to order a t-shirt to support a game developer, and was surprised to see the total doubled at checkout. I thought it might be shipping at first since it was an international order, but upon closer inspection I saw the tariff charge adding a whopping $30 to my $30 t-shirt order

Obligatory apologies for not knowing what group to place political posts in.

Disclaimer:
Most people know trump's tariffs aren't about bringing numerous quality manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.. It is about establishing automated factories in the U.S. for the profits of the very rich. Some even say the wrecking of the economy with the tariffs is intentional to bring interest rates down to create discounted loans for the rich people who will want to build those automated factories.

Subject:

If it was really about providing jobs for Americans, call center, center jobs should be "brought back".

There are a lot of Americans in rural and other low employment opportunity areas who would do those jobs and value them. The patrons of those help lines would appreciate native English speakers. Those jobs could be made remote, helping even more people who trouble finding work.

In March, sales of Jolly Cola increased at least 13-fold in Rema 1000 compared to the same period last year. Grocery chains Coop and Fleggaard have also seen significant increases. The Jolly Cola brewery also said earlier in March that they have never experienced anything like this.

Danes are bypassing American products, and chains are feeling it.

The boycott movement can be felt at the Danish fast food chain: ""We are clearly experiencing a growing interest. The fact that we are a Danish burger chain is an interesting alternative to the American chains for many Danes."

At a vintner, the anti-American movement is not a big issue, but the wine merchant has still received a “no thanks” from some customers when he has suggested an American wine: "Now that Trump has come to power, the demand is not as great as it used to be. Some people are simply opting out."

Even though consumers in Denmark want to send a signal and turn their backs on Trump and the US with their wallets, it could ultimately be a disservice to ourselves: "It should not become a joint boycott against the US, because we risk losing significantly more as a country than we gain from it. If the US suddenly says that it's time to stop buying Novo Nordisk medicines in the US, it will hit the Danish economy tenfold compared to the effect a consumer boycott has on the US economy,” he says. “There is no reason for us to provoke this trade war to become even fiercer than it already is."

Oh, and then there's also this:

Danish grocery chain to distinguish European from US goods.
