not exactly shocking, not the first time Trump has made tariffs. Last time they drove the cost of house construction up.

Was about to pull the trigger on a new car, but decided to go a much cheaper route and replace my nearly dead computer instead. A mid-tier computer and me sitting at home gaming for a few years will be insanely cheaper and less financially risky than an SUV under Trump’s uneducated shenanigans.

Yup. My household is going to pull back on the impulse to improve and just build up the reserves for the “have to fix” things that happen.

Working on doing more cooking, more gardening, cutting out expense conveniences. With the waves of deregulation and tariffs coming, prices on everything are going to skyrocket while quality goes to hell. The more we can produce ourselves, the better.
