I’m going to bet this is on the low end.

      I remember how much people freaked out over the price and availability of paper towels and toilet paper during the Canadian wildfires. I feel like that is about to happen again.

        Nah, the majority of Republicans and “Independents” don’t understand how tariffs work, they still think China’s going to pay for them, and aren’t smart enough to stockpile over this. Plus all of their “news” sources won’t have the balls or morality to tell them that the rise in prices across the board, including gasoline, reminder to buy the Trump “I did that!” sticker, are all the Republican’s fault.

    If you are a non-Trump voter in a red state, especially if you work for the flagship company or industry in that state, I would like to apologize on behalf of all Canadians for what our government is about to do. We don’t want to do it but it is the only way to deal with a bully.

    I mean, it’s the Democrats fault for not winning the election. You can’t blame Republicans for what the Democrats did, allowing Trump to win. So if anything, Trump is just being manipulated to do this by blue maga. God damn Democrats fucking over the American people over and over again.

    Am I doing this right? \s

      This is sadly related to the argument of Germany’s conservative party right now, voting with right-extremists: “look what the left has made me do, we had to vote with Nazis, because the left didn’t vote with us🥲”

      you need to add in how the Democrats are just the same as Republicans, they are all just getting paid by billionaires to create fascism; so maybe go shoot somebody or sabotage something.

      Idk why I keep seeing comments like this, as though blame is a limited resource. For sure blame Republicans for actually being fascists, obviously, but Democrats deserve it too. This endgame has been visible since at least the 90s, and was impossible to miss by the time of the Tea Party. Over a decade of trying to compromise with unmistakeable fascists is inexcusable. Democrats repeatedly run a campaign playbook that both loses elections and shifts our political norms rightward over and over. Even now I see no signs that the party is interested in change. Fuck em.

      The entire working class is probably gonna end up paying 20-50% more in 2025… or more accurately, gonna get 20-50% less value from their money.

    That must be daily spending, not including your retirement fund’s lost value.

    Friday afternoon cost me ~15 times that much
