Good question. Looks like Jersey.

Fortunately for me, the guy was kind enough to take care of it. I feel bad about it, though.

And I think this is like a tiny thing, too.

Catching up on the RFC stream from last week, turns out Hasbro did a 3% layoff early last week. Most of the other bits from that they talked about aren't really relevant to TF though since they're focused on RPGs as a topic.

According to this article, globally:

Toy seller Hasbro HAS.O has cut 3% of its global workforce in its latest cost-cutting effort amid higher U.S. tariffs on toys from China.

The job cuts amount to about 150 employees. According to its fiscal 2024 annual filing, the company had roughly 4,985 employees globally.

We may have a trade deal with Vietnam. 20% tariff. Not great, but at this point just having some certainty would be an improvement.

Until he changes his mind and decides to change it and then no one pushes back on it.

I know my BBTS email I just received about TF One Deluxes being subject to a $1 tariff charge. Not ideal, but also not as bad as I was fearing.

I got one as well, and Honestly, I'd consider that minimal of an increase to be the definition of ideal, outside of 'no tariffs' which clearly isnt happening.
