Mark Cuban:

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

1. If the price of a foreign good goes up 25% because of the tariff,

…an American manufacturer of a similar product could raise its price 20% and still be the cheaper alternative.

6. Good to keep in mind.

Thanks, surfered!

2. Huge egg producers in our county are doing great.

The small independent farms struggle.

That way … raise the prices and never bring them down

5. "Even if it's made in the USA"

The issue is that, in many cases, "Made in the USA!" doesn't mean "Made completely of US sourced materials"

We're still going to be paying for tariffs on the ingredients.

7. Trumpflation.

8. Oh great. He we go with the panic buying--that WILL drive prices up.
