International shipping to the USA has slowed dramatically and the word is this is just the beginning. This is extremely rare to see these docs without cargo.

Most people also forget about another element in this puzzle.
Usually what happens is, you buy goods in bulk, and plan for that in advance. Say, you’ve planned a shipment of 1 million dollars worth of telescopes, $800 each. But now with the tariffs hit you can afford fewer telescopes per 1 million dollars. Which mans that - because you’re now ordering them at $1k - you can afford 250 fewer telescopes which rises the price per telescope due to a smaller order. So now you’re not paying 1.25 on the dollar from 800, but rather from 1k! Which makes you afford fewer, which rises the price, etc., etc., etc.
GamersNexus has a great documentary on this shit show of a situation, I do recommend giving it a watch. :) It’s oh so optimistically titled The Death of Affordable Computing.
Holy crow, I did not know about that!
