"It's Real Y'all": People Are Sharing Their Tariff Receipts, And My Wallet Is Not Ready For What's Coming
Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Politics Wyze went on to share an invoice showing a duty charge of $255k on $167k of product "for those who say we made it up." WyzeCam / Via 3. And this business owner showed the jaw-dropping price difference between shipping her supplies to Canada vs. the US. Here's a closer look at the breakdown to ship to Canada: 4. Speaking of Canada, our neighbors to the north have started adding a "T" symbol on grocery store price labels for imported items that come with a tariff charge. 5. People are still sharing examples of tariff charges on cheap goods from Temu: 6. And higher-priced goods, like suits manufactured in China for this Canadian company, are also starting to show tariff charges: 8. Sadly, some brands, like this lingerie company, have decided to pause shipping items to the US due to the tariffs. 9. Even used items that are imported can incur tariff fees. This Reddit user wrote, "A couple of weeks ago, I bought a pre-owned Louis Vuitton wallet from a Japanese seller. The item shipped from Japan. I paid $80 for the wallet, plus US sales tax ($116.91 in total). I just got a notice from DHL that my tariff fees are $83.10!!!" TrekEmonduh / Via 12. "I got engaged a couple of months ago and have been going through the wedding planning process. A bunch of bridal retailers (signs, bridesmaid dresses, wedding dresses, etc.) are announcing price increases on items, taking an already extremely expensive process even more out of reach." —Anonymous, 27 in the Midwest of the USA 13. "My daughter's job here in Sweden laid off 25 people, stating that due to tariffs from the US and the war in Ukraine, their orders had been drastically reduced and they couldn't afford to keep those workers on in such an uncertain future." — missy90_ 14. "Small business owner here. I have stopped carrying pagan items, tarot cards, and accessories, because the cost, not even retail markup, has gone from $3.49 per item to $10.49 per item. As a small seller, I just can't compete. I lost money last month because of it. Having to change my business plan, I'm just gobsmacked. I've had local MAGA explain that if I can't handle it, close. I donate profits to the food bank and a couple of local LGBTQIA+ nonprofits. I'm at a loss." — glitteryangel852 15. "I have an Etsy shop I rely on for my income. I'm disabled and need to work from home. The items I made my products out of are just not made in the US, and need to be imported. They are now 3 to 5 times more expensive than they were. My profits were already razor thin. Sales have slowed since the economy may be bad. I worked so hard to make this a success. I don't know what I'm going to do." —Anonymous, 43, Denver 16. "The IT guy at my school just brought in a huge shipment of Chromebooks and said that's it for getting them. After June 1, they either won't be imported or will triple in price. Any schools that didn't get them now are shit out of luck." — bravelegend578 17. "I have a small business and I was already terrified of the tariffs stuff before it started. I kept telling people, 'They seriously want to kill small businesses. Plain and simple.' I buy packaging and other materials wholesale, making my prices more competitive. Recently, I went to purchase more bubble wrap & it's literally 200% higher in cost. I mean, if you're involved in e-commerce, you are either paying a monthly fee for a website, OR you're getting anywhere between 10-30% of your earnings skimmed off before you even add all the other expenses. This means that a few dollars here, a few dollars there ADDS UP FAST." "They want it to be the '50s so badly, and part of that mentality is 'BUY AMERICAN!' but we are SOOOOO far beyond that. It's nearly impossible to only buy American these days. Plus, we're all in such an economic shit-hole, we can't AFFORD to only 'buy American.'

"I can tell you right now that my work is experiencing supply chain issues. The only source of green tea extract in the bulk quantities we use is China. We lost two days of production last week because it was on back order. It's happening, and it will be hitting your store shelves in two weeks." — gothikcowboy 20. "A home repair quote I had last year has increased by 20% due to tariffs." —Anonymous, 66, CT 21. And finally, "I handle ships coming and going from the port. I went from seven ships a week in February to seven ships a month now at the end of April. I had one on Saturday, and hopefully the one tonight isn't canceled. I worked for a foreign company during the first Trump term. It was rough. This is ugly. Nobody knows what is going on."

Man acquitted of manslaughter in North End slaying due to unreliable evidence: court decision
A judge has acquitted a Winnipeg man accused of manslaughter in a fatal shooting at a North End apartment, citing unreliable evidence and inconsistent witness testimony. "I will never know the truth," said Judge Sheldon W. Lanchbery. Angus John Maple was 40 years old when he was gunned down on the evening of Nov. 24, 2021. The killing happened in his apartment, where he sold and traded drugs and stolen merchandise, by two men who intended to rob him, according to a written decision from the Court of King's Bench. Timothy Wilfred Christopher Lecoy Maple, 33 years old at the time he was charged, walked free last month. He was originally charged with second-degree murder after Maple was brought to hospital with a gunshot wound from Mountain Avenue, between Salter and Main streets, where he later died. His co-accused Thunder Lightning Fontaine, who was 22 years old when charged in Maple's death, will serve 12 years in prison after his 2023 manslaughter conviction by a judge. 'Silent witnesses defeated' The decision published on Feb. 12 says the deceased's roommate was Chelsea Paul, a leading witness in the case and the mother of Fontaine's children, who lived with Maple to help him to monitor his diabetes and cancer diagnosis and ensure he took his medications. The night of Maple's death, footage from a camera installed inside the apartment pictured Fontaine carrying a gun inside the apartment, followed by Lecoy Maple, who was carrying a shopping bag. While speaking to Fontaine, Paul is pictured walking toward a camera, called a Wyze Cam, and twisting the video camera "flat against a solid object" before the shooting. "Chelsea spoke as she moved towards the Wyze Cam, 'oops, my bad.' Her words were spoken in a very casual manner bordering on a joke," said Lanchbery. Around one hour later, a gunshot sound was captured on the interior camera which still could record audio despite the obscured vision on the video footage. Paul testified that after the shooting, she took the deceased's cellphone, which had access to a video from a doorbell camera installed in the suite across the hall, and the doorbell camera installed in the other suite. Lanchbery said Paul's actions to "defeat two silent witnesses" by concealing video evidence along with a "demonstrated inability to firmly identify people" in the suite at the time of the shooting made her an unreliable witness. Paul was also interviewed by officers several times, but there were inconsistencies in the three statements she provided to police, the decision said The cellphone and doorbell video footage and doorbell camera were never found, court heard. "Without having access to the video evidence Chelsea prevented the court from viewing, I am left with reasonable doubt that [Lecoy] Maple was even present at the time of the shooting," said Lanchbery. "Therefore, the Crown's case results in the Crown failing to prove beyond a reasonable doubt [Lecoy] Maple acted in a common purpose with Thunder to commit robbery," Lanchbery said.
