It seems that California and Georgia are worried about the costs of tariffs.
The extra cost is being passed on to customers! That's causing them to either find a vendor not so encumbered or to pass on the purchase.
This is literally Econ 101.
Increasing the price reduces demand.
If the price only increases from a single vendor, but the good is still available elsewhere, the demand shifts vendors.
Which is the intent of the tariff in this case. To onshore the supply and choke the importers.
So, no shit, the importers are seeing a drop in sales as domestic manufacturers step up.
Or customers are realizing they didn't really need what the importers were selling...
PS: Did everyone catch how the media suddenly understands how taxes are just added to the price the consumer is paying? Another TDS miracle!
