Years ago, I used to watch faithfully, AM and PM style, other shows that I was interested in. I never watch the shopping channels anymore. I do look at the TSV, TS but that is about it.

I think they need to change their shopping platform to mostly online. I doubt they can grow the TV audience anymore. That platform audience has been declining for sometime.

When Dad was home, we used cloth napkins, good dishes and candles on the dinner table. When he was on a flight, we sat at the bar and often had "breakfast for dinner". We all loved it. I remember blueberry blitzes...yummo.

I read something interesting. A business owner tested to see if people would buy american made.
wanted to see whether people would buy a Made-in-USA version of his specialty shower head.
He found it would cost three times as much to produce — and raised the sale price by 85%.
After several days of testing, zero customers bought the USA model.
To move everything over to the US, he had to find four to six separate suppliers who would handle various aspects of the production process, he said. All told, he found it would cost three times as much to produce — more than the cost of simply paying the tariff.

@Pecky many shower heads are made in the united states which have zero tariffs

Manufacturing will not return to the U.S. until companies that outsource are severely penalized on their taxes.
Thst is the purpose of the tariffs. Much more effective than additional taxes on a company.

By mid June, the government had received over $80,000,000,000 in tariffs...all paid by you and me. It's an easy way to gouge the working and poor classes.

Fyi, there are exemptions to tariffs...such as yachts and other expensive toys for the elite.

There is an alternative to additional taxes - making everyone pay their fair share.
