Experts weigh in on possible impacts from tariffs
President Donald Trump's tariffs on goods imported from Mexico, Canada and China are in full swing. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] 25% tariffs are now in effect on the nation's two biggest trading partners: Canada and Mexico. The U.S. also increased the tariffs on China by 10%, bringing those to a total of 20%. Action News Jax is taking a look at just how soon you could feel the impacts. Dr. Jim Mirabella, a professor of decision sciences at Jacksonville University, said it may be a bit before we see the effects. He said that is because a lot of imported consumer products are currently stored in warehouses. But when those items start to run out, and he said that's when you can expect some prices to go up. Those tariffs could impact your everyday purchases. 'This isn't every item is going to go up by a big amount,' said Clark Howard, Action News Jax consumer advisor. 'Some aren't going to be affected at all, it won't go up any. Others will go up just a little bit and others will go sky high.' Prices could rise on items like food, electronics, toys, and appliances. But also cars and parts as higher tariffs could make them pricier and harder to find as many parts aren't made in America. Dr. Mirabella said he is not too concerned. 'I think it is going to be a while before we truly feel the impact,' said Dr. Mirabella. 'But when it does happen, I am not so sure it is going to be as devastating as everyone seems to be hyped up about.' He also does not think the tariffs will last that long. 'I think initially we are going to see the prices go up and we will feel the sting but within the year I honestly believe that things will settle down and we will be far better off,' said Dr. Mirabella. Canada's prime minister announced a 25% retaliatory tax on U.S products. Mexico said retaliatory tariffs are coming Sunday.

'Little People, Big World's Audrey Roloff Divides Fans With Controversial Parenting Take
weighed in on a super controversial parenting topic in a recent social media post—and fans had mixed reactions. The former Little People, Big World star took to Instagram on Thursday, Feb. 6, to share a video of herself with her youngest child, baby Mirabella, sleeping on her lap. 🎬 🎬 "Why are we so obsessed with 'sleep training' in America?" Roloff asked in her caption. "Maybe it's just what the algorithm is feeding me right now…but it's crazy to me the obsession we have around babies sleeping," the mother of four continued. "It's usually the first question someone asks you when you're in the newborn phase 'so are they sleeping through the night yet?' Why is this such a thing to be achieved? They are babies. Their needs don't stop at bedtime. They will learn to sleep eventually but right now they need us." Roloff went on to say that while it "may sound crazy," she thinks that "the more you can accept that caring for your baby through night is something that you 'get to do' not 'have to do' it becomes less of a burden and more of a joy." "God grows your capacity and somehow multiplies the minimal hours of sleep you do get into energy sufficient for the day," she wrote. "If your [sic] a mama in the sleepless nights season, your mindset is everything. For me, accepting the season has helped me to walk in it with 'peace (and energy) that surpasses understanding.'" Related: Roloff's followers were divided on her take, with proponents of sleep training defending their point of view. "Can we just stop shaming parents for doing something that helps the whole family? We sleep trained both of our older kids and we were ALL better for it. We plan to sleep train our new baby too but if that's not for you, that's ok! We just like our sleep and rest around this house and that's ok too. ❤️" one person argued. "Everyone should do what is best for their baby and their family," a second commenter agreed, adding, "It's not fair to make generalizations since every family and baby is unique. Personally, in a home with two working parents, we had to sleep train. I work in healthcare and getting a halfway decent amount of sleep is necessary to make sure my patients get the care they need. That worked for us and for our daughter. I have good friends who didn't sleep train and that's what worked for them. To each their own!" Some people were on the same page as Roloff, however. "Just here to say that seems like a lot of working moms are saying they have to sleep train. Working mom here who doesn't sleep train! No shame if you do but for me it wasn't what's right for us. So no, not all moms who work outside of the home sleep train. 💜" someone pointed out. "I needed this! Baby is 10 days old and everything is so targeted towards do this right now! We struggled for 6 years to get pregnant. It's ok if she needs me at 3 am!!" another Instagram user chimed in. In addition to Mirabella, who was born in May 2024, Roloff and her husband, Jeremy Roloff, share three other children: Ember Jean, 6, Bode James, 4, and Radley Knight, 2. Next:
