Farmers are also being hit with huge increases in the price of fertilizer thanks to tariffs on Canada, where the vast majority is imported from.
Builders are watching the price of lumber (2x4s, 2x6) rise much, much higher. Also primarily imported from Canada.
These tariffs are gonna hurt a whole lot of people. All of us will be paying more for everything in most segments of our economy.
