Cannon safes use to be made in Pico Rivera, CA, I believe. Its been a while. I use to drive by their shops on the way home from work sometimes depending on traffic. All the tariffs do is keep enabling a high cost of living in this country. Sure they like tariffs. Because they can now compete when Chinese safes have a 55% tariff. As was stated in the article. I don't know if that is anything to brag about. It just keeps fueling a vicious circle of increasing costs and inflation. Trump has said we should do our patriotic part and buy American and be happy to pay the tariffs. It supports American business. Where was the patriotism from the last 8 Presidents since Jimmy Carter when outsourcing began in earnest. We needed a department of outsourcing to review all corporate outsourcing to see if it helped the United States, hurt it or had no effect. Back when just about everything we bought was American made in the 1970s and earlier wages and prices were more imbalance. Outsourcing contributed to the wage disparity we have now.
It is always interesting to read your perspective, Jane. It is always thought-provoking. It remains to be seen, however, what the end result will be regarding tariffs. I think we have another 6-9 months before we see any effect. Keep up the good work.
I bought an antique coffee maker (c.1875) on eBay from a dealer in Scotland. This was before the tariffs were announced. But, it took a while to get tome (it was stuck in customs clearance for 10 days). And just a few days ago, I got a bill from FedEx for $187 to cover the tariff. Not complaining... just sharing.
Thanx Jane for the picture. It is a subtle reminder there’s too much pork in Congress’ budget.

Bear video, apron, Jane and kitchen counter devoid of a single appliance. I'm happy.
My secret it out.

I’ve had to change the opening graph of this blog five times in the last three days. I finally just hit “publish.”
