And unfortunately, they’ve seen nothing yet.

300+% price increases on a huge chunk of consumer goods from China will certainly force a few more to cut back, forbes says 72% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, there's just no room!

When that actually hits it’s going to be bad.

i'm not cutting back due to 'tariff-induced price hikes'..

i have nothing left to cut..

came to say something like this. down to the bone as it is.

Remember how a lot of people used to say ‘I’m not voting cause I can’t tell the candidates apart/they’re both equally bad’?

I suggest a whooping.

Looking forward to have America back one day.

Hugs and kisses, a European

as a us person it drives me nuts. still get it to. biden is just as bad, obama just as bad. I keep on thinking how I wish I could live in the alternate timeline where carter and gore won.

still get comments about it. which drives me nuts. usually I ask who the best president was and how they compare to actual american presidents. I find these folks have a litmus test of an imaginary figure they somehow think is going to come to be. Its great to strive for that but when its decision time you have to go with who will be better from the choices you got.
