We live in an interconnected world. As an American, I’d like to know some ways that I could purchase goods, in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Canada and Mexico, and still avoid the tariffs.

    Tariffs are not flat across the board. If it lasts, we’re going to see a lot of shell companies popping up in strategic places for the purposes of avoiding/reducing taxes paid.

    Depending on the exact details, these may be little more than reshippers. Or they could be like the products that are “Made in the USA (from imported components)”

      That’s great. Another consequence of these dumb tariffs: extra shipping and the associated greenhouse emissions.
