Ironically, the new tariffs are costing us Americans more money as importers are passing the additional costs right to the consumers.  I'm not just talking about at the retail level, either.  I work in construction management and recently our steel suppliers have all put out emails regarding price increases due to the tariffs being levied against them for importing materials from Canada.  To counter that cost, we have started to draft our own notices to our clients as well.  As usual, regardless of who is sitting on our throne, the population is taxed with further increases to our cost of living.  At a time where housing costs in my country are already astronomical, our government is enacting policy to further drive the cost of building materials up. It's a farce.  I don't buy into partisan politics, either.  It doesn't matter of what color arm bands the party wears, they always work against the bourgeoisie.  Historically, that's worked so well for the ruling class in the past.  As an amateur student of history, I am a little worried that within my life time I might see America erect our own national razor, which will be bad for everyone.

Last year, I paid this without the "deluxe" gig bag:

And this year, it would be this with the "deluxe" gig bag:

The final price is very similar to me.
