This seems pretty important to crowdsource and talk about, so I’m gonna go ahead and risk violating the no politics rule from a few days ago, because I don’t see a better community to ask this. My defense for it not “being politics” is, I’m asking you to keep it to purchasing decisions and how the details of how the tariffs are likely to work, as opposed to who did what. This thread has the potential to save people lots of money if it gets big!
Tariffs are gonna make things more expensive for Americans; what are you planning on buying now instead of later, or stockpiling a little of?
This is only tangentially related, but the best thing you can do is make stuff instead of buying it. Somewhat ironically, community building and self sufficiency will be more important than ever. Yeah everyone is going to say electronics but I feel like we all have enough of those already. Forbidden knowledge is far more valuable. Kind of doomer but… that’s where I’m at lately.
they can take your home
they can take your stuff
they can take your freedom
they can take your very life
they can never take your knowledge
they can never take your strength of will
they can never take your drive to beat them
you can only give them. don’t give in.
When they take your life, those other things usually go with it.
hasn’t given me anything but grief, but they’ll have to come and take it.
You can eat my dog,
You can eat my truck,
But you eat my flag and you’re out of luck!
you can fuck my dog
you can fuck my truck
but you fuck my flag and you’ll eat my butt!
