We're also going to get the repeat message "tax cuts for billionaires and corporations are a good thing! They'll ~~do stock buybacks again~~ hire more people and give raises!!"

Completely ignoring what happened previously...

I mean... when possible, you should support local small businesses even if their prices are slightly higher than the foreign produced offering of a megacorp.

It’s also often the best thing from a human rights perspective. Low low prices at walmart come from exploited workers, and not just the american ones who are getting fucked. Like conditions that make the average american worker experience feel like king shit. Or just straight up actual ass slavery.

But therein lies the issue. How do I pay higher prices when I am living paycheck to paycheck? I don’t want to support this broken system of exploitation but i certainly have a vested interest in my own survival. How do i solve this when even buying basics, like food, requires participating in industries that are exploitative to their core

A real noodle scratcher

Not to mention the fact that Walmart moves in, sells everything cheap and puts everyone else out of business. It's like that all over the country.

But paying higher price because of tariffs means there's more money that goes to the Government, which can then be used for public servic... WAIT THAT'S COMMUNISM!!!1

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 12 points 3 weeks ago

Don't worry! You will pay higher price, but receive no services.

For a moment I thought this was about AI and the stock market.

If it goes into higher domestic wages, yes it is. If it goes into the owner class pockets, not so much. 🥹
