Summary
Fox News host Julie Banderas warned that President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs—25% on products from Mexico and Canada and 10% on those from China—could significantly raise costs for Americans, as many businesses rely on foreign goods.
While some companies are shifting to U.S.-based suppliers or stockpiling goods ahead of the tariffs, Banderas noted that buying American often results in higher prices.
She highlighted that the financial burden would likely fall on consumers, questioning, “Who’s going to pay for that? We are.”
Economists have also warned of inflation risks.
How can a financially broken, over stressed, oppressed public fight? This is by design, to further oppress, divide and conquer. But I’ll wait over here with the other couple million people that have been screaming this for months till the shit hits the fan and we can actually start working toward a common greater good.

THINK OF THE POOR SHAREHOLDERS YOU UNGRATEFUL MONSTER. /s
I’m always thinking of them.
It was fine until the 80s converted all the pensions into “mutual” funds. Now all our retirements are tied to the fucking stock market. We’re gonna need a general strick and the billionaires reckoning to fix this shit.
Since the Nixon Shock you’ve had to either invest in exploitation or watch your savings evaporate.
Billionaires shouldn’t even exist.
I do think of them. In terms of cooking recipes. Yummy yummy shareholder steak
And it won’t be once sales drop precipitously across entire industries. Lots of manufacturing simply doesn’t exist in the US anymore, and there isn’t enough time to start it up before massive economic impacts.
The effects of this Trump administration will be clear and they will be bad. I’m somewhat optimistic that they will eventually start to generate a kind of unity we haven’t seen in the US in a long time. But, to be clear, it will be a very, very, very rough few years to get there, and it assumes the world isn’t consumed by massive wars anyway.
I keep thinking about how musk was talking about the upcoming hardship… I wonder if he was maybe referring to this too. He had to have known.
I’ve been asking people, might as well ask you. When’s the right time to cash out of the casino? Maybe buy puts?
Might seem crass to talk about making money off this disaster, but I have people I love to take care of.
The best way to win is not to play
Thanks for responding but the best way to win is to play smart. I’ve made great plays and stupid plays. 90% of the money we’ve saved for a downpayment on a house is in the market, in index funds.
I’m just asking around, mostly in person, for when other people are going to cash out and why.
Sept. 2, 1929.
Most Americans do not follow the markets and are clueless to their existance. You are giving them too much credit.
But they have no idea when some neoliberal talking head tells them that data shows the economy is fine, that person is talking about the stock market.
Although this time around I’m not so sure that line go up. Looking for signs for when to cash out of the casino.
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.
That’s all that Bobby left me.
Now might be a good time to get into the torch and pitchfork business
That’s old school. You gotta get into the modern equivalents: Airplane tracking and semi-autonomous robotics.
I think that’s the thing. The system will fail if all these policies are put in place. But at this point, it sounds like a lot of voters need an example of what such a failure looks like.
That’s kind of my point. They don’t want to believe the truth, they will just have to experience reality. It’s like a kid and a stove, sometimes they will only learn if you let them touch it.
I agree in principal, but my concern with this is that people will see it happening to them, done by trump and will believe trump when they’re told that they’re suffering because of “the illegals” or the “woke mind virus” or whatever doublethink bullshit trump’s advisors come up with.
They’ll say it’s Biden’s policies costing everyone money, and they’re fighting oh ever so hard to fix this.
Definitely a possibility.
