you mean like buying a Temu cart?
In the case of Shaw, they have already blamed construction slowdown and lack of home improvement for plant closures and layoffs LAST year. Do tariffs play a role? Sure, but they are not the main driver in their financial woes. While they do manufacture quite a bit in the US, they are an international corporation that has manufacturing plants in other parts of the world with most of their vinyl flooring manufactured in Vietnam. The vinyl flooring could have been easily shifted to one of their US plants thus avoiding any tariffs.
In short, sure, it sux near term, but is indeed necessary for long term financial stability. The US has long been screwed over for years with the loss of MILLIONS of jobs. Been to Detroit in the last 20 years? See American cars in Europe? Nope...How many ghost towns in other parts of the US? How about textiles and furniture in the Carolinas? Loss of American manufacturing has killed the middle class and has established a reliance on cheap foreign goods.
If you wanna complain about prices, the last administration had the largest increase in pricing in 50 years through unmanaged inflation and and policy. We are still dealing with the consequences... Unfortunately, ya gotta dig a little now days for the truth

Funny, I work in the flooring industry and none of these issues existed until tariffs.
How odd that all of our pricing increased?
How odd that all this work slowed down.
How odd that all these installers knock on our doors begging for work because no one has it.
Drink the fucking Kool-aid dude.
