Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This article is actually kind of validating. On Reddit it seems like there are only two kinds of people - smug preppers who already stocked up in November, and normies who don't really understand or care that much. But yeah, so much of the stuff around us depends on global supply chains and 10-50+% tariffs on the entire world means we are so unbelievably cooked.
This morning I sat down and made a list of stuff and divided it into high, medium, and low priority tiers based on severity of expected price increase and effect on my quality of life if I have to skimp or go without. I'm planning to spend the next few months diverting money I would have been investing to aggressively buy the high and medium prio stuff. High prio for me is tech and health related stuff - laptop, headphones, masks, tea, vitamins/supplements - a lot of it directly or indirectly from China. Medium prio is basically hygiene products and work gear. Low prio is household items I'll pick up when I can. Today ended up being a good day for me to get a vacuum - guess where it was made? Vietnam and China ๐
