I was not working for *massive* companies, either, so our business was not do or die for our chinese manufacturing partners. Our international vendors just wanted to keep business/upkeep service. It is odd to see consumer inflation claims but my experience across industries says opposite

curious- what are some data points used for effects of tariffs? My previous line of work was procurement/supply chain in CPG. We used international + domestic vendors. International was happy to work w/ us/eat their own margin to offset tariffs, typically. Never effected shelf pricing (in my exp)
