Don't get excited just yet

There is a couple of reasons why these new tariffs are really going to screw up things here at home. While I agree that the world has been screwing us for years and we do need to rebalance the trade table, it will not work this way by simply raising tariffs. Why? Because American companies for the last 20 years instead of dumping the exorbitant amount of bottom line profits back into the company, manufacturing, modernizing OR employee pool have given 95% of those profits back to corporate shareholders in big dividends and buy back programs. So basically even at this point any money raised by the tariffs in extra revenue is going to leak into the pockets of the rich while the cost of living and inflation continues to rise on the poor. It is a money grab by the rich to get richer and nothing to actually help us regular people. Don't drink the Kool-Aid don't buy into the bullshit it is a money grab disguised as patriotic policy

Until people get deprogrammed from that cult no one is listening. So I say protect yourselves, do what you need to do to survive until the 💩 show comes to an end . We won't say that you didn't try to warn us! Because you and so many others did. Those of us who knows, knows! And those who refuse to listen don't, t's as simple as that.

Think of it this way, we are the ones with the life rafts while the cultist sheep is begging to stay on the sinking boat with Captain Bone Spurs. Let me drown!
