    I hear that, and in parallel, mostly essentials only, minimum amount of purchasing for months now. Not paying a dime into their precious “economy” if I don’t have to.

    See, that’s where they got me: I would’ve liked to do the same as you, but instead I bought a bunch of stuff I would’ve normally waited until later to get, in anticipation that the fuckwad’s idiot tariffs would jack up the price if I waited.

      Don’t sweat that either. While it likely plays into their game, as long as you can use the stuff anyway, just cease buying it for extended periods. “It is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.” --Abraham Lincoln, probably

      It is a tough balancing act trying to stay ahead of nonsense, especially with covid shortages still in recent memory.
