For what it’s worth, Walmart just issued a huge bunch of seasonal orders to China for Christmas product, which they had delayed by a month.
This is in contrast to a reduction of 30-50% of the shipping from China to the US in the last month or so – for contrast, it dropped around 25% during Covid.
So while there’s still going to be an absolute economic shitshow in the US in about 4-8 weeks as shelves start to empty, Walmart at least don’t think the whole tariff project has enough legs to last till Christmas.

Irish banks might be in trouble? The German Pension funds will be buying up all their bonds in the morning so because the last time they bought bonds from a dodgy Irish bank they made hundreds of millions in profits when the EU forced the Irish taxpayer to bailout the bondholders.
