Contact your coordinator. I know for us we have special safety nets for our folks that come into sudden hardship. I can't really give out more specific details as it could lead to what hospital I work for but your coordinator should be able to navigate you (or anyone else who's in the same situation) to resources. Transplant social work should also be able to help you as well.

And watch what happens to you guys when all these places retaliate with their own tariffs. China already said they would, and now China/Japan/AND South Korea are working together... That's like the majority of where products come from. He's going to put everyone into a dark ass recession. I'm in Toronto currently and I just paid $6, yes $6! For ketchup. 1L.

Mind you I could've gone to the dollar store and still got it for $2.50/2.75, but I have cancer and I can't be walking more than ten min without exhaustion. Either way our groceries since tariffs have jumped anywhere from $2-5
ETA but with retaliation tariffs soon our reality won't be far off from America's in terms of insane prices. Especially since majority of products aren't made in the USA

This is exactly what they want though, they don't care about those who are seen as lesser than. They care about economically raping and pillaging until they get everything their greedy hands can touch. They got rid of health science research, why? Because cancer=more money so why solve it. They got rid of education and a lady the other day even showed that they've been teaching Jeff bezos and how trump is the best as fucking homework now! They want to keep everyone dumbed down and ignorant and it's despicable. And now they want you to riot in order to stay in office. I'm sad for everyone except for the idiots who voted for him or didn't vote at all.

Idk.
(Today)I checked my youtube comments. To my suprise ai had gotten 6000 likes!
I posted "the fact we can guestimate the season 16 mil years ago is astonishing"
(Video was about how scientist have been able to estract pollen fossils from ancient fish gills. Meaning asteroid hit earth potetially in spring.)
Since I typo 16 instead of 36, and bad english, the comment section was divided debating was I sarcastic or not. Flat earther or not.

It’s so funny because every single bit of trump’s disgusting merch is all made over seas. All he’s doing is ripping off his own short bus full of sheep.

Yes, a 46% tariff in response to a 15% tariff is "reciprocal." That's definitely how that works.

I started stockpiling non-perishable food 6 months ago, buying triple of everything that I normally buy. My spare room looks like a grocery store, including a big chest freezer. Neighbors have chickens and eggs, I have bees and honey, and the houses in my immediate neighborhood are starting their veggie gardens. Car has been checked out, and tuned up. Clothing, and all necessities are also stockpiled for me and mine. A year's worth of vaccinations at least, and general health checkup in case the insurance companies go in the toilet too thanks to him. Generator in the garage for when power goes out because nobody will be there to fix things when they break thanks to his firing everybody. I'm not paying his high prices, and they are HIS high prices. Nobody else's. Hopefully when this bullshit passes by the end of the year, prices will come back down. If. If not, I really don't need to buy much of anything until Christmas. I don't trust anything that's going to happen.
I sound like one of those idiot sovereign citizens, but I'm not. They're assholes. I'm old enough to see what's coming, and I'm not going to rub glitter on it. And if you voted for trump, fuck you. Fuck you up the ass with a red hot poker.

The jig is up. He isn’t just dumb on the tariff issue. It is his intention to completely destroy our economy, blame it on Biden (🤣), have his oligarch friends reap massive profits on our destroyed economy, and then “save” us from what he did by the midterms so he can take credit for saving us from what “Biden did to the economy”
It sounds too stupid to work but a year ago we mostly didn’t really believe the GOP would really put up an insurrectionist, felon, traitor as their nominee.

It just occurred to me that not only is it a sneaky tax. But a tax in a way that the federal government gets to keep all the money. Your taxes don't necessarily go up. But all that extra money that you would have spent being more taxed, in this form, has no possibility of a refund/exemption.
It's so obviously scammy

This is so fucking funny honestly, as someone who is living in a shithole 3rd world country, I am very curious to see just how fast and how far the living standard in the US is gonna plummet.
The best part is that they did it to themselves XD

There’s an old adage for this:

You know, with all these tariffs being applied it would be something if, combined with other reasonable austerity measures, it allowed these countries to tackle their debt and strengthen their economic autonomy.
Any corresponding effects for the US economy offset by benefits for the crony class, of course.
Edit: not advocating for any of this of course. But trump's stupidity and arrogance uniting the world against the US and other benefits that the US would not share, is just cake icing.
