tariffs, etc.

I bought a new computer in December, rather than procrastinating, because I was worried about tariffs. And yes, it was shipped from China.

I bought my next three months' supply of tea, from India, a couple of weeks ago, and just ordered a bunch more spices, some of which are imported.

It now turns out that Trump is slapping high tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products, including produce and electricity. There's no way for me to stock up on that. Well, I would have been ordering tea soon in any case, because the slightly fancy Assam is my everyday tea. (I buy three pounds at a time, to save a bit on shipping).

That was a smart move
