Consumer confidence drops again. No surprise here! The administration seems incredibly inept thus far and has no sense or care of what the average American is dealing with. Don't expect this to change. www.conference-board.org/topics/consu... #Ecommerce #Retail #economy #ConsumerConfidence

Of course they said no. The Chinese govt would rather press their domestic suppliers to accept fewer sales to make US consumers feel pain. It's a long-term strategy to destabilize the US & make the USD a less-desired global standard currency. www.cnn.com/2025/03/24/b... #Ecommerce #retail #tariffs
