Europe has been successfully luring Americans away for years - but now they are targeting an especially important, and recently shunned group that we probably don’t want to lose. Will their plan work?

In brighter news, California finally overtakes Japan - the Golden State taking aim at Germany now. How long can Germany hold their position?

And why is Mexico suing Google? No, it’s not for the Google Doodle from May 5th, but good guess!

And finally: what weighs over a thousand pounds, has been traveling since the early ‘70s, and recently took a dip in the Indian Ocean?

When the cost of importing goods goes up significantly with little notice, manufacturing orders get paused. Without orders to ship to the customers that normally make the orders, shippers reduce the number of boats that sail. When fewer boats sail, less stuff gets imported. When less stuff gets imported, there’s less stuff to buy at the stores.

We are currently in “Chapter 3: The Sinking of the Supply Chain” of this story on tariffs. We are going to see work pauses, layoffs, stockpiles of empty containers, less products to buy, less items on sale, and more of our own exports piling up in short order. For how long? Good question.

This is not the Spring 2025 that any of us ordered, but it is the one that shipped - and there is a strict no return policy. This episode the guys dip their toes into the pool of what we currently know is coming in the next couple of weeks for our supply chain among the chaos.

Happy Tuesday! We are starting this week out with the ever increasing snowball we like to call The Tarrif Woes. You get to look forward to cancelled orders, short supply, increased prices, and less items on sale this summer. Yay, us!

The number of cargo ships scheduled to arrive from China next month is far less than last month and the same time last year. So that can’t be winning.

Some of the largest US companies are moving manufacturing to other foreign countries that don’t start with C and end with Gina. Still not winning.

And to add insult to injury, you might lose cloud access to your Nest Thermostat.

Happy days are here again, everyone!
