Once again, Thanks Trump. We know it would happen. McF, S7, and others have entered the tariff price increase game. Now Mattel has entered the game as well.
Essentially THIS IS THE WAR ON Christmas. Movies, toys, public access media, household items... Making America Great Again? Was the Great attached to Depression? Because that's where we're headed.
Goddammit! I didn't want to get political, but seems it's inevitable. Technically I have no horse on this race, since I live in an unincorporated territory. As you've seen in past rants, I'm not exactly known to be a friend to the Social Justice minded folks. But I'm pretty much against all of this!
Bringing back manufacturing to the US isn't a bad idea in paper, but it requires a degree of finesse that Trump is currently lacking. Also it takes a shit ton of time to set up the logistics. What I'm saying is that the execution is not making America Great. Not to mention the incredible price increases with Made in the US... due to the regulations within the country. There's a reason why manufacturing plants are in China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, India...
I've said it before, it's not just toys. Electronics, household appliances, automotive parts... pretty much EVERYTHING'S "Made in China" now.
I just hope I can reach 2029 with the blog for it's 20th anniversary! If the toy industry dies, half my blog dies as well. Guess I will have another rant coming... but in the meantime enjoy a belated may the 4th Pic from Trump.
