My step-dad said similarly about 4 months ago and if thats what he has to do to get the country back on track then that was ok.
He is retired with plenty of savings.
No, we don’t talk as much as we used to.
For a group so terrified of the government injecting chips, they absolutely love it when it’s branded the right way.
If it goes into higher domestic wages, yes it is. If it goes into the owner class pockets, not so much. 🥹
It’s almost always the second one
Agreed.
We’re also going to get the repeat message “tax cuts for billionaires and corporations are a good thing! They’ll
do stock buybacks againhire more people and give raises!!”Completely ignoring what happened previously…
“Thank you, Daddy Trump, for solving the migrant crisis, that was totally not made up!”
The crisis was that we didn’t have a crisis,so he had to manufacturer one. He’s totally just a job creator you guiz!!!1!
Bouta be a lot of jobs created for the next harvest or two.
After that. Probably not so much.
Daddy twummp uwu
Elon did promise hardships back in the fall after all.
I mean… when possible, you should support local small businesses even if their prices are slightly higher than the foreign produced offering of a megacorp.
It’s also often the best thing from a human rights perspective. Low low prices at walmart come from exploited workers, and not just the american ones who are getting fucked. Like conditions that make the average american worker experience feel like king shit. Or just straight up actual ass slavery.
But therein lies the issue. How do I pay higher prices when I am living paycheck to paycheck? I don’t want to support this broken system of exploitation but i certainly have a vested interest in my own survival. How do i solve this when even buying basics, like food, requires participating in industries that are exploitative to their core
A real noodle scratcher

It’s like the masks on airplanes. You have to take care of yourself first. You are better equipped to help others when you are not on the brink yourself.
Not to mention the fact that Walmart moves in, sells everything cheap and puts everyone else out of business. It’s like that all over the country.
In a few locations, after driving away all nearby competitors, Walmart has then shut down locations citing that they’re actually not making enough money.
By that point though, most small businesses are long gone and don’t/can’t come back.
poverty is enforced. the only way out has always been direct action against the enforcement
Time to order some I did this stickers.
But paying higher price because of tariffs means there’s more money that goes to the Government, which can then be used for public servic… WAIT THAT’S COMMUNISM!!!1
Don’t worry! You will pay higher price, but receive no services.
Oh good, I was worried there for a second /s
can’t be havin’ that.
better give it all to lord diaper’s wealthy butt-kissers instead.
But not taxes, those are theft.
For a moment I thought this was about AI and the stock market.
how bout 40 dolla eg
Always was, if you’re buying domestic. Not that anyone cared as they bought from China.
