Most important part of these tariffs:

“The trade rule allows packages to be shipped from foreign countries directly to consumers or businesses without paying tariffs, as long as the shipments do not exceed $800 per recipient per day. The new proposal would strip that exemption from a wide array of products and most likely have a significant impact on large importers of Chinese goods such as Shein and Temu, two online marketplaces that have become popular with American shoppers.”

This trade rule being taken advantage of by Aliexpress, Temu, and Shein is the sole reason why significant amounts of Americans could still afford to buy a lot of consumer goods despite having their real wages crash year after year. This would genuinely trigger another cost of living crisis

    It’s not just the size, but also the silhouette. Even comparing to men, I’ve had and still have a very broad shoulder to waist ratio so most women’s clothes in “my size” still look awful on me. There are a lot of cuts that can never look good on me unless it’s custom tailored so I can only buy certain styles of tops

    But also yea, I live in the Bay Area so also just one of the fittest places if not the most in US
