#0, So Much for Merch
Posted by Gryphon on May-05-25 at 04:57 PM
Here's a fun fact: if you're in the US and ordering vtuber merch from Japan, but that merch was originally manufactured in China--and, let's face it, it was--it'll be subject to the China tariff, which, at the time of this writing, was one hundred twenty-five per cent.

And so much, as the poet said, for that. :/

I'm crossing my fingers that this tariff nonsense ends up in the dumpster soon, not least because I made a substantial purchase of merch right before it kicked in, so I'm guessing I'll be in for a nasty kick in the teeth when the stuff does arrive.

Considering he just tariffed foreign-made movies, it won't. He's going to be doing this until he craters the economy even more than he has.

I'd call him a crackhead, but he has yet to show that much sensibility.
