Tariffs and our Economy

 I was talking to my boos at work today, wondering why we weren't getting any new shipments of supplies like tape. I work at Staples and tape is something we have to have on hand constantly for out shipping and Amazon return services. Lately we have been out of our usual Staples generic branded tape and have had to resort to the more expensive, but better Scotch which didn't bother us employees but would impact the inventory systems more than normal. My manager told me that the tariffs are already taking effect and is the reason for us missing some shipments. I didn't think that the effects would be felt so soon, I'm kind of scared to see what will happen when they take full effect.😕
