Whoa whoa whoa, on demand manufacturing allows us to be agile and utilize LEAN manufacturing to provide maximum value to our shareholders by cutting wages, cutting positions and not investing in a single fuckin lick of infrastructure.

If there’s a lack of demand, that should drive prices down. Probably not enough to cover tariffs.

Prices can't go below the cost of production and transport.
A lot of goods are on quite small margins. When the tariffs are bigger than the margin the product becomes uneconomic to ship to the US. This is what you're seeing. There's less demand for shipping because companies have halted shipments to the US.
