Completely frazzled right now. Trying to hold it together. I’m in the US, and to maintain my mental health I’ve sworn off news. Seriously, 10 minutes of the news and my heart rate is up and I’m genuinely worried about my and my wife’s jobs. Shutting it out has allowed me to focus on a Crit Sit at work while I have 3 other customers biding for my time. I know being heavily in demand doesn’t mesh with my previous statement, but my company could be heavily affected by cheeto’s current flavor of “foreign policy.”

I hear you. It's a horrible train wreck. I'm the import buyer at my work. It still won't make sense to move any manufacturing here, it's just still too costly. So our prices go up, and we are a luxury item. Not sure how that will fare long term.
