If you're a gamer like me, you might want to pick up your computer or console parts before Dec.15 (delayed from Sept.1) when the tariffs will go into effect. Shit's about to get more expensive thanks to Drumpf. Drew the red line for me and he crossed it. He delayed the tariffs because it would hurt consumers during the holidays so he admits it hurts consumers.

Tariffs planned for products include cellphones, laptop computers, video game consoles, certain toys, computer monitors and certain items of footwear and clothing.

You don't need 90% of that shit. That's the problem with America...too obsessed over paying too much for cheap shit they don't need.

Don't buy the tariff'd shoes or clothes. Problem solved.

Hard not to buy them when a lot of them are Made in China. Blame the companies for offshoring to have their shit made there instead of at home. Most of the PC parts you'll see in the back or box says Made in China. Even your GPU, especially Nvidia.
