If you buy your stuff second hand ect, which "i would imagine most of those fumbling peasants who voted for Trump do"... no effect there either.
So i am not sure that Tariffs have the effect those who are gas lighting about it think it does.
And i am no fan of tarrifs for the most part.

Well since we’re calling out gaslighting, can you explain how if I’m a grocery retailer who’s been charging X for my products, why I would be compelled to lower my prices that I know my customers will already pay in the event I pay less tax and have lower energy costs? Are shareholders at these large chains going to vote in favour of not maximizing profits?
