Anyone have a readable mirror that contains text?

So the broligarchs get an escape hatch and everyone else (particularly the middle class) has to pay up to appease the ego of the worst president in US history? This seems like a bad economic and very undemocratic plan that we're getting here.

So is china also giving an exemption?

So now the finished products are tariff free, but the input costs when bought into America are tariffed. The exact opposite of what you would want to do to bring manufacturing back to America.

Realize the administration is not competent or ethical. It fits their behavior and has predictive value.

So now it just sounds like my favorite imported soy sauce will be more expensive.

Can't wait for the Pittsburgh soy sauce brewery industry to be onshored again!

So, America decided not to "reshore" that from China, but textile and plastic slop from AliExpress, right?

Not full exemption. They're still subject to the 20% tariff (instead of the ridiculous 145%) so Trump can save his face.

I was trying to find out of this is still the case.

How did you reach that conclusion?
