I decided to check out an MBP. Normally I can customize it and they give me a delivery estimate of about a week. Currently I can’t customize it at all and delivery estimate is overnight. Literally what’s in stock is all there is and then no more.
Shortly after the Budget Lab’s original publication, the White House clarified that the 125% China tariffs were on top of, not inclusive of, the 20% IEEPA tariffs already in place, making the maximum rate on Chinese imports 145%. This report revises our numbers to reflect the clarified policy.
I expect them to get around this tarrif, but I have no clue how hard that will be for them. They also managed to stock up on cash in Ireland because they didn’t want to move it to the US and that didn’t seem to hurt them.
Oh wow. I’ve been needing to upgrade for a while and happened to be in a place where I was ready to make the purchase. The day the news about the most regressive tax scheme in history hit I went through the whole normal process of selecting all the completely insanely priced upgrade options I needed and placed the order. It’s due next week - I must have been one of the last ones.

They’re waiting for the storm to pass, it’s still 10% now
As of today, it’s 145% on Chinese imports.
