How will the tariffs impact AAS

I have been wondering the same about the food prices and the prices of goods in general. I have seen some scarcity and shuffling/restructuring but it seems to mainly be with trying to get packs into the country. I don’t think the raws mfg is going to decline nor do I necessarily feel that this is the end of an era I feel like it’s even a market goes down and the next one pops up and opsec changes etc.

@Ghoul may sound like a tinfoil hat wearing loon sometimes, but dude is right about a lot of stuff, seems quite knowledgeable and comprehensively supports his stance/opinions and due to wisdom of experience I take note even when it seems way off in left field lol
Shits about to turn around next week,raws will be coming back shortly. I had someone tell me a month ago they were stocking back up before they start started letting them flow again,and I had two more people confirm it today! They needed to build there own stocks back up in everything, oils,pills ,raws,etc shits about to flow here real soon
 
Bingo! I like that, good info.

I can't add a like to your post or I would. I don't have that feature yet in this part of the forum.

I'm not saying someone like QSC is coming back, that takes big balls for somebody to do that, anybody that's willing to get that big can't help but draw a pile of heat on themselves, and eventually they will go down, It's just the nature of the beast. But raws will start moving again here soon
 
It's like the old saying goes, there's no such thing as rich retired drug dealers, that shit only happens in the movies. They all go down eventually, It's one of those things where you got to get in and know when get out, because it's just not possible to sustain permanently, even the biggest boys of them all, in the Mexican cartels eventually go down, in a jail cell or in a pine box. Unless you're a government official, those fucks never get caught, they have way too much pull and know way too much dirt on everybody else, so they never touch them.

Spot on with this. I do agree qsc was huge. Haha part of me thinks shit was falling off govt trucks and getting escorted to the port.

Let me get this foil outta my hard hat lmao

That's not tin foil hat shit.. I actually know a pretty high level drug dealer, he lives in a couple million dollar house and parties like a Rockstar,we used to be close friends up until I got my life straightened out.. I'm not going to say what he sells but it's not this stuff.. and I've witnessed some things.. as he says I'm divinely protected, And then he always laughs. He's one of them guys that they just don't touch, but he explained to me more than once that a large portion of his clientele, are law enforcement, judges, attorneys, people that hold government jobs, He's like dude, follow the money, And every time you do it'll take you right to the top where the most corruption is, they party just like us, the only difference is they have lots of money, and they can get away with it. But even he knows when to lay low, he told me that's how he survived for almost 30 years doing what he does, sometimes you just got to quit, you just got to pretend like the well dried up, you got to know when to hold them and when to fold them, you can't just go full boar all the time, that's a quick way to a jail cell.

There are a few sources who bowed out gracefully. There's a thread on it.

Couldn’t agree more. I used to relocate large quantities of pharmaceuticals few years ago. Good cpa. Went to hs with his kid. Anyway, he calls me up one day says come by the office when you get back into town we need to talk. I show up and there’s a couple pizzas and my cpa and his kid (cpa2). He shakes my hand and asks how much cash you have at the house? We had a no stash cash over $$$ rule and I was quite over it and I told him he said I know. I know. I felt it. He told me fold it up. I was about 20k away from my exit goal anyway, but he said fuck it off. So I did. Glad I did.

This cpa is a family friend and I was totally transparent and up front about all my semi/legal activities. He made me set up a plan timeline exit etc and man, I’m glad he did.

Oh, there's a post requirement. You have to have so many posts around the forum, which include replies I believe, before you can post in that one. It's because a lot of folks come here looking for sources, which is pretty understandable, but they do this so folks will traverse the forum and make some discoveries. I just posted on interesting topics and had some fun until I discovered I could post in there. It doesn't take too long.

That’s understandable. Ty
 
The tariffs are not as much of an issue as the crackdown on fentanyl in the united states. More customs agents are being hired and it will be harder to get raws into the country. As most raws for gear come from China (and I believe fentanyl), it will be harder to get raws in the US. Scarcity will without a doubt increase the prices. Additionally because China would rather negotiate because their economy is highly dependent on exports to the US, they have been cracking down on labs to appease trump's demands

Are more agents being hired? It would be the only agency expanding

Has China been appeasing trump? Cracking down? That’s news. Any fact citing?

I'm usually not invested enough to do the work to overcome skepticism on this topic any more, but here you go.

"$4.1 billion for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to hire 5,000 customs officers and 3,000 border patrol agents... "

They're not just going to sit around doing nothing. With package volume from China down 70-80%, it's going to be much easier to scrutinize, and my biggest concern, follow up on the recipients of illegal products rather than limit that to Schedule 1 and machine gun parts because of limited enforcement resources.

Every "love letter" in theory could be investigated as a crime, they simply couldn't do it with a limited number of agents.


"Appease" is leftist media speak to characterize the president's policy wins as something negative, probably to humiliate those who make deals in order to encourage others to "resist", even when it's country's adversaries.

Of course it's not a coincidence China took action to stop supplying illegal drug precursors right after the last election. Under Trump's previous admin, China was pressured into allowing the DEA to open offices and operate in China, under Biden, they were effectively kicked out.

China's asymmetrical warfare supplying deadly synthetic opioid precursors and the resulting 80,000 annual deaths of Americans has been a primary justification for taking action against them on the trade front. There's nothing partisan about that. Both parties have been adamant about it, as I've documented here, in congressional committees, draft laws, and even Biden's strong statements (but weak actions) against de minimus shipments. But thats been moving in slow motion for 3 years. With an actual FAFO opponent coming into office, China decided it was in their best interest to quickly, pre-emptively "appease" Trump by reigning in the flow of powdered death. Trillions in trade being on the line is worth far more to China than the quiet satisfaction of poisoning their enemies.

Unfortunately for us, stopping illegal white powders is an all or nothing proposition. Neither the Chinese or CBP is going to tailor enforcement efforts so if they're "just steroids" they'll get a pass. These are still Schedule III drugs and China is a member of the UN treaties that make exporting them illegal.

And now pharma has blockbuster drug billions funding an army of lawyers pestering politicians 24/7 to get the FDA to use its long ignored powers to stop counterfeit GLP's, which is going to strangle the supply of all peptides, and probobly India pharma, as collateral damage.

Lots of words. Not seeing proof of appeasement by China. That seems to still be a speculation
