Meanwhile corporations will see profit rises of (at least) 20% in 2025, but the two are unrelated, don't look behind the curtain *tucks back some artificial scarcity and war mongering for profit that have slipped out*
Economics
You're only a consumer until you can no longer afford to consume. That's a boat nobody wants to be in.
"they" seem intent on speeding towards that destination. How can they not see where it leads? Truly mystifying.
Not looking forward to the next 4 years.
4 more years of massive deficit spending (tax cuts for the rich, bullshit trickle down economic theory), more money flowing to the billionaire class, public services getting decimated in funding, and regulatory agencies already knee capped with SCOTUS overturning “Chevron deference”.
These tariffs (or threats of tariffs) only stand to benefit billionaires and companies. As we learned during pandemic, companies often increased the cost of items even though the internal supply chain was not actually impacted. It was a way to squeeze consumers under the guise of “supply chain issues”.
Only 4? I feel like it'll be felt for at least a decade or more.
