I just love that the AP withdrew its fact check that said that J.D. Vance hadn’t fucked a couch. The memes are my happy place right now.

given the incoming administration's love of tariffs, you'd be advised to buy gear that's made overseas now before the price goes way the fuck up. a LOT of stuff--including the preponderance of the consumer electronics my employer sells--is going to go up 50-100%. trying to fuck with China and Russia simultaneously isn't wise (note: i am pro-Ukraine), and fucking with China to suck up to Putin is <adjectives>.

The tariffs will also hit electronic components used in USA-made pedals. Resistors, capacitors, transistors, integrated circuit chips, switches, and jacks are not made here anymore. Hammond-style boxes, too, so you might see some makers try to figure out whether to get a metal break for folded enclosures to deal with prices; that's gonna be weird, trying to project the demand that can pay for the capital expense.
You can already see some companies kissing the ring as a first step to trying to get favorable treatment for their foreign-manufactured products under the regime. <ball of ire and cursing>
