Good time to leave this shit die in a corner. Not advocating for Trump in any way, mind you, but this utter garbage pollutes the environment more than anything. Quality is usually abysmal so the crap ends up in a landfill sooner rather than later, and additionally all that crap needs to be shipped across the globe.

In fairness, Shein and Temu can fuck right off. When the raise prices 377%, they make the worst shit China has to offer more expensive, and that's a good thing.

This is the plan, and the plan is for the high prices to continue forever so that the federal income tax can be repealed, (mostly for the ultra wealthy).

Trump specifically wants high prices, via tariffs, to be paid by the average American so the federal income tax can be repealed.

Shein and Temu and other cheap chinese mail order goods companies only existed due to then loophole in previous tariffs for small sales. I imagine they will try to clear out stock and then call it quits soon.

Good

That shit has always been awful for both consumers and the planet.

No loss. People need to stop buying 100% plastic clothing.

I wonder if there will be a tiny surge in virtual post office boxes just across the Mexico and Canada borders. So American individuals will get items shipped to the virtual post office boxes, then cross to that country, and smuggle the items back into the us.

Hm. This is going to be happening to far, far more goods than just the cheap crap. I can’t find a reason to crow about it happening here. It’s the first raindrops of a hurricane.

I've never even heard of Shein before, which makes me think this isn't going to have enough of an impact to change the minds of any magats. We can hope though, I guess.
