Imagine if sales tax were currently at zero percent and some guy said you know what let's start taxing 36% on just about everything. That's the reality we're about to be in. That $500 Nintendo switch 2? Now it's $680. It will be for pretty much all goods coming from foreign countries and we import A LOT of stuff.

Tariff = Tax on imported goods.

Use a VPN. On the American side try to find any signs of bad past news on Trump. Now do it from another country on the VPN. See the difference before your very eyes. You can also do this on TikTok and probably get similar results.

The slow removal of my basic human rights and criminalization of my very existence feels like a little more than just a distraction. I'm not upset at you I just really hate these things that in fact are greatly affecting my mental health and overall well-being. I'm afraid to even leave my house presenting as my true self.
