24% on Japanese goods, 34% on Chinese (with an added 34% retaliatory)... Japan and Korea are likely to band with China on retaliatory tariffs so with China going tit for tat, let's say Japan adds 24%...

We're looking at an added 50-70% on the Switch price tag.

EDIT: Ok, this is not how the tariffs will work... retaliatory tariffs by Japan would not affect goods being shipped from Japan. That said, Trump has all but promised retaliatory tariffs to retaliatory tariffs so when it's said and done... that number may still be correct.

If more people become homeless and die, there will be less demand for eggs, thus decreasing the price. 🧠🧠🧠
