Holding out
So with a now 120% + terif on China, I don't know how I am gonna survive this as a small business. My $10 earrings will have to go up to $15, and $12 keychains will be almost $20. I am not enjoying this at all.
I am going to hold off a bit and see how things play out with the giant orange baby, but if those extra taxes stay in place into next month, I will have to raise my prices significantly.
Even the prices of my stickers will need to go up some, not as much, but some. The materials the printer uses are all from China so their cost is going up, which means, my cost is going up.
I really hate this. I honestly didn't vote for the turd, and never will. I really want to throw something at those who did tho.
But I am gonna hang out a little longer and hope things get better. Otherwise, no new merch for a long time, and higher prices. Just not good times.
Go support other small artists and businesses as well while/if you can. We are all in this boat together.

Will support you hope I can but the global economy is tanking. Amazing what impact a single individual can have - and not is a good way……
Yup, the orange baby in office here is messing up the entire world.
