Playing cards from China may no longer be available. Casinos may have to shut down table games with cards.
New computers, tablets, TV's, and phones may no longer be available soon.

All of my Windows 10 computers expire soon. I've gotten a new tablet, a new TV, a new computer monitor, a new phone, and a new Roku recently. But I'm still short the new computer(s). Probably need another $300 of TP & paper towels.

I'm anticipating severe disruptions to our supply chain and have begun to stock up on certain items. Over thirty percent of items in grocery stores will be subject to tariffs.

Most of the casinos I go to are using Bee cards from USPCC.
While that's owned by Cartamundi (a European concern), the production is in Kentucky, last I checked.

Are Angels really that common?
May the cards fall in your favor.

Maybe it's just the cards you can buy at WalMart that will disappear.

Five billion people means five billion guardian angels. Throw in the messengers and the fallen and they start to add up.

Somebody didn't get the memo.



I'm looking forward to the Chinese junk sailing away and getting sunk, and replaced by products made by our people on our terms. It will be nice to see different products in different stores again, instead of just the same thing from the same sweatshop in every store with a different label stuck on it.

That's why US retail really crashed. It wasn't Walmart and it wasn't Amazon. It was the lack of diversity of supply that prevented smaller stores from having a product line that distinguished them.
