Worst part is going to be if people start panic buying over potential tariffs (that may not even happen much, though I don't predict what crazy does, but really they might not even happen). Because panic buys ->buyers remorse -> landfill.

My DH agrees that the Athletic Brewing NA beer is good, but I don't care for beer. I love the "Red Clay" by Proxies. My current subscription is for 6 bottles every two months for just under $130. I had tried a couple of sample packs initially. I found that I didn't like any of the whites and wasn't crazy about rose' or sparkling options, but I did like the reds, especially Red Clay. And of course I like the name of that one!Originally Posted by catherine
I've learned that I like to treat myself to a "special" drink in a stemmed glass, and it doesn't have to be an alcoholic one. In fact, most of the time I find it preferable if it doesn't contain alcohol. This was a surprise to me, and I guess I had to be at the right mental time and place to really analyze this with an open and curious mind. "I need a drink" actually translates to "I need to do something nice to soothe myself," at least for me. I've found that tea often is the best option for that, but a Red Clay or a Fever Tree grapefruit soda in a nice glass can fit the bill as well.
My poison of choice is regular Coke. It’s cheap, easily available, and my wits aren’t addled.
I'm wondering if this is just some sort of Trump flexing his muscle in some sort of bluff or a deal bargaining power. It just seems like an obviously bad move for a guy who ran on the economy. Krugman had an opinion piece in the NYT saying it could be the start of "crony capitalism", where tariff exemptions for red states or Trump friendlies could be granted, but exemptions for the opposites would be denied.

Rosa I tried alcohol free wine and it was horrible. I don’t remember the brand. It was not cheap.
I don't like wine, but enjoy the varieties of craft brews these days, within some sort of healthy limits. Anymore there are so many local breweries and small local wine makers that it's easy to buy locally most places. At least one local brewer claims to use all locally grown ingredients.

Under the existing China tariffs from 2018, whole product groups were not subject to the additional China duties. Importers were allowed to apply for exclusions. So unknown what will happen this time around.
I see where China has suggested, "supply chain warfare". That could work. Might work for Mexico and Canada, too.

They can call it what they like, but mercantilism is a very old and a very dumb idea. Between a series of trade wars and a strong possibility of an east coast longshoremen’s strike we seem to be heading toward a period of self-inflicted high import prices.
