you know, trump, he says a lot of things, but this tariff thing? I think he’s really got a good point there. We’re really supporting too many countries.
- an Actual American said this to me. It’s phenomenal how ignorant people are.
My coworker gave me the same spiel and keeps complaining about how the local shoprite is too expensive and she won’t shop there anymore. My office is so hopped up on copium that I just don’t bother anymore.
Ah this guy also just spent about USD750k on powersport toys this year, he won’t notice. But he might notice when his business gets hit because all their material comes from Germany… fingers crossed!
Please do bother
How is it that people don’t know how a tariff works???
Are there a bunch of “other” tariffs that I don’t know about???
The GOP has spent decades and billions of dollars making sure most Americans have grown up not knowing how any of this works.
There’s a shocking lack of financial literacy from a lot of people, and not just Americans.

I’ve met one! He’s from a rich family, and we had this exact discussion, where he told me that he knew way more wealthy people than me who told him so, so how can they be wrong when they’re so rich? 🤦
…and perhaps most importantly: compound interest
This applies not only to growth, but to debt.
It’s crazy that over 200 years ago, some Boston dudes got so angry at this same thing happening that they threw every last barrel of tea into the ocean and proceeded to start a fucking war for independence.
Have the day you voted for.
I voted for Spiderman.
Everything is gonna come tumbling down very soon. Brace, y’all.
I’m so tired of winning.
