Speaking of ports and shelves, I'm getting conflicting reports:
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/tariff-tit-for-tat-has-seattle-waiting-for-the-ships-to-come-in/ https://www.king5.com/article/news/verify/what-we-can-verify-about-port-of-seattle-ghost-town-rumors/281-4c678f85-0987-4929-a62d-8fc27ab397b3 https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/rumors-claim-seattle-ports-dead Some talk about a short-term increase in anticipation for a longer term decline. Etc. But my own anecdotal evidence is the people who dropped off our new fridge told me that as recent as last month, they contract-delivered appliances for places like Costco et al at the rate of ~ 8 deliveries per day. Now it's down to ~ 1 per day. We speculated that people are making fewer larger purchases out of fear. So that drop off is demand driven, not directly tariff-driven (or incompetent boob at the helm driven). But it's all related, I guess. Excuse me, I need to check our stocks of beans and rice ...
