How 10% tariffs will impact Syracuse import store
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — A 10% baseline tariff will still apply to countries across the board, after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on the higher tariffs for most countries on Wednesday. Import stores are still worried about the impact tariffs will have on their business, including Thanos Import Market on Syracuse's North Side. The locally family-owned market sells a variety of European-Mediterranean items. 'Anything from olive oil, cheeses, to cold cuts and different grocery products of different pastas, sauces, things like that,' said Joe Carni, owner of Thanos Import Market. DA: Criminal charges not expected related to death of custodian at Syracuse charter school Mayor Walsh proposes a property tax increase for Syracuse's 2025-2026 fiscal year How 10% tariffs will impact Syracuse import store Actress Sydney Sweeney will be in CNY this June, why? Colorado prospects look to make history in 2025 NFL Draft With nearly half of the store's items imported from European Countries. 'There are a lot of people, that in their lifetime may never get to go to Italy, Greece, France, Spain for vacation and taste the culture. We try and bring that here at an affordable price,' said Carni. However, Carni says it can be costly. He's already having to pay fees for imported goods. But soon, he'll have to pay more, with President Trump's 10% tariffs expected to send prices soaring. 'The concern is the cost to our customers, kind of trying to make sure that we're able to stay in business and give customers a product at a fair cost,' said Carni. One area shoppers will notice higher prices is on the olive oil shelf. Carni says between droughts and the tariffs, prices have increased about 20 to 30 percent. 'What it costs us, I try not to pass all of that onto the customer,' said Carni. But, everything could change in an instant. For now, Carni is waiting to see how the tariffs impact prices. 'It's you know the business, you're working with your margins. But you want to make sure that you're not losing customers, because you price yourself out of someone being able to come in and shop,' said Carni. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Misophonia Has Genetic Links to Anxiety And Depression, Study Finds
While most people can relate to feeling uncomfortable when someone scrapes their nails down a chalkboard, those suffering from misophonia can have an equally intense reaction to sounds like slurping, snoring, breathing, and chewing. A 2023 survey suggests misophonia is more prevalent than previously thought, and research from Europe suggests this condition shares genes with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. University of Amsterdam psychiatrist Dirk Smit and colleagues analyzed the genetic data from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, UK Biobank, and 23andMe databases and found people who self-identified as having misophonia were more likely to have genes associated with psychiatric disorders as well as tinnitus. Patients with tinnitus – a persistent, shrill ringing in the ears – are also more likely to have psychological symptoms of depression and anxiety. "There was also an overlap with PTSD genetics," Smit told Eric W. Dolan at PsyPost. "This means that genes that give a sensitivity to PTSD also increase the likelihood for misophonia, and that could point to a shared neurobiological system that affects both. And that could suggest that treatment techniques used for PTSD could also be used for misophonia." This doesn't mean misophonia and these other conditions necessarily have shared mechanisms, only that some of the genetic risk factors may be similar. Previous research found people who experience misophonia are more likely to internalize their distress. Smit and team's research, published in 2023, also backed this up, showing strong links with personality traits such as worry, guilt, loneliness, and neuroticism. Responses to a triggering sound can range from irritation and anger to distress that interferes with everyday life. "It has been argued… that misophonia is based on the feelings of guilt about the evoked irritation and anger rather than behavioral expressions of anger itself that causes the distress," write Smit and team. People with autism spectrum disorder ( ASD) were less likely to experience misophonia. This was unexpected as those with ASD have a decreased tolerance to sounds. "Our results suggest that misophonia and ASD are relatively independent disorders with regard to genomic variation," the researchers write in their paper. "It raises the possibility that other forms of misophonia exist, one that is mostly driven by conditioning of anger or other negative emotionality to specific trigger sounds moderated by personality traits." Smit and colleagues caution their data was mostly European so the same links may not show up in different populations. What's more, misophonia was not medically diagnosed in their data samples, only self-reported which may also skew the results. But their study also provides clues for where further research could focus to find the biological mechanism behind misophonia. This research was published in Frontiers in Neuroscience.
