  • Or maybe costs suddenly increased and people had no time to adjust to their new means. “Living beyond your means” is such a dumb phrase in this context. It puts the onus on individuals instead of things like inflation, price gouging, tariffs and costs of living. I guess everyone should be living in one bedroom apartments and eating rice and beans everyday so they live within their means(this is hyperbole). People don’t deserve any luxury just the bare minimum to live and keep working for their overlords.




  • Do you think these companies can just snap their fingers and suddenly start producing stuff locally?

    And even if they could, why would they? In three years another guy comes in the White House and the tariffs are gone. Also why would they produce locally when they could just raise prices and shift the expense to the consumers, maybe a bit more so they can even get a little extra.

    Also what are you gonna do about it? Get your toothpaste from a different company? Good one, they bought out all the others and the ones they didn’t buy out are just gonna rise prices too because they’re not gonna leave money on the table. Don’t you love unregulated capitalism?
