The last time the US fucked Asia with tariffs (Reagan, trying to kill imports of Japanese cars), the Japs just moved car production to the US, sold locally built cars, pocketed the profits, and let Ford, Chrysler and General Motors cope and seethe in peace.Well Hololive (and others) merch is fucked in the US starting tomorrow
Got rid of the de minimis and 104% tariff![]()
Whether moving towards local production for Hololive merch is worth it remains to be seen, of course.
Of course. Tariffs always increase consumer prices, else there's no point to them. The question is whether it's worth setting up local production (moderate price increase) or not (massive price increase).Acrylic stands and tat like that would still be cheaper to import from China than be made in the US
Edit: unless Hololive can get a prison contract
