So, like, all is super quiet on the western waterfront, and also on the eastern one. Like, all the stevedores are just chilling, not really sure why, but it’s all thanks to President Donald Trump. He’s got everyone on a breather because of his trade war shenanigans. The whole situation is a total mess, with shipments from China getting canceled left and right. Some importers are looking for new suppliers to avoid those “reciprocal” tariffs, while others are just sitting back and waiting for the storm to pass. The boss of the Port of Los Angeles even said imports are gonna drop by at least 10% in the second half of 2025.
Now, like, I’m not really sure why this matters, but there are a bunch of articles in the Business section about this whole trade war mess. Like, can Shein and Temu survive Trump’s crazy trade war? And big tech is apparently having a big problem with it too. Oh, and Starbucks is trying to turn things around, but who knows if they’ll succeed. And like, when can AI start booking my summer vacation? That would be pretty cool, not gonna lie. News is apparently becoming a toxic asset for media companies, whatever that means. And MAGA’s manufacturing dream seems to be causing some trouble. Oh, and don’t forget your AI meeting notes are ready, whatever that means. Will the trade war capsize shipbuilders? Sounds pretty intense if you ask me.
So, like, there’s a whole bunch of stuff going on because of this trade war, and it’s causing a lot of chaos on the waterfront. But hey, at least the stevedores are getting a break, right? Who knows how long this whole mess is gonna last, but it’s definitely making everyone nervous. Like, can we just get back to normal already? But hey, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
