Tariff induced shortages? Chud XVtZ4iFj 04/27/25 (Sun) 06:34:06 №11999 [Quote]

When the tariffs have gone into full effect, will we see shortages as we did during covid lockdown? Should I start stockpiling toilet paper?

To keep this /biz/ related, what sorts of inventory items is your business stocking up on to stay ahead of any supply shocks?

There might be short term blips but realistically prices will just rise. But yes you should still stockpile raisin now

That’s what futures markets are for.
The whole point is to buy (long) or sell (short) things in the future at the price they are right now.

Seems like low end electronic components & plastic/cardboard junk is taking the brunt of the tarrifs.

Given the backpedaling the admin has been doing I genuinely think they caved to Wall st. and won't actually follow through on any tariff threat.
>will we see shortages as we did during covid lockdown?
I don't personally think so
>Should I start stockpiling toilet paper?
Not a terrible idea to have some on hand. I usually buy in bulk and store a couple weeks worth.

Yeah this honestly it seems like most of what is going to take this hit is landfill-bait

I don't know. Any sort of supplies or anything? Even then, I don't know if Canada will be subject to this as the US is since the Chinese will freely dump their goods on you.
