Will continue to work until I’m a solid 10, or dead.

I LOVE YOU TOO!!

A year of paid leave plus a box of the cutest stuff…??? You might be able to convince me to have another.

My girl in Quebec sent me their version of the “baby box”, and damn, some other countries really appreciate their families having babies and it shows .

The answer?
Basically…everything…I think????

Every component, every material, every line item is suddenly a moving target.

At this point I’d have an easier time estimating costs using the Tarot. What a dumb time to be alive.

We have an RFP with CA to provide non-congregate emergency housing. I reached out to flag that—thanks to the new #tariffs - pricing in our contract is now laughably unserious.

They said:

“Let us know ASAP how much the pricing would be changed and the components impacted.”

GREAT QUESTION, BEV.

The good news is that the market response is so terrible, I highly doubt these tariffs will stand.

My mom: gifts me collagen eye patches from TEMU
Also my mom: “Why don’t you just make your products in America?”

Ma’am. You won’t even buy Nutragena at full price.

Meanwhile, I just had my Fox News Brain mom try to explain to me that I shouldn’t worry because “we don’t pay the tariffs, the Chinese government does”.

Um, no ma’am. That’s not how this works. And guess who ultimately pays b/c we can’t just absorb 131.9% >>> the consumer.

Hiiiii. Also kill me.

I baked in contingency expecting something crazy like 50-60%, but 131.9%?!?!

FUCK.

I build affordable housing in the US using SIPs we manufacture in Guangzhou. We literally have a shipment on the way to build units for a homeless community. I was just informed by our customs broker our duty rate is now 131.9%. I honestly don’t know what to do about this. #tariffs
