Anyone Notice Stiff Tariff Increases On Goods?
Not interested in nationalism, politics or other theater... Solar panels or anything else? How about stuff from Taiwan. I don't see why their stuff would jump but then who knows...

Nope..

In a nutshell, NO ONE WINS except for the governing body that imposed the Tariff.
The consumers lose, businesses lose.
Historically Tariffs have always ended up hurting the country that places it, not the originating country of the goods.
The cost eventually is bore by the consumer as the business importing the goods is forced to pass on the increased cost to the consumer. Business importing is is the business to well, make money, they can't absorb the increased cost so it is the end consumer that winds up paying the "tariff" (it ultimately IS A TAX!).
As far as the OPs question, I have seen a lot of things increase, basic needs like food, clothing, fuel and other goods and services. Can't say for sure that the tariffs are directly causing this but it is for sure at least indirectly.
