so much for lowering the cost of living!

Rebuilding LA & solving a nationwide housing crisis is going to be expensive with 25% tariffs on Mexico & Canada.

Now would probably be a great time to grab some photos of "before" prices on things. Y'know, for purposes.

Not just prices, but sizes as well. Already packages are shrinking, so there is that as well.

Yup we have a fucked up thing of tinfoil that's 3 or 4 years old. Newer tinfoil is about half the size box wise. We keep it as a reminder but damn is it upsetting.

I frequently work for a Canadian company and receive payment in Canadian dollars, which typically convert to 75 cents in US dollars. However, the conversion rate has dropped to 69 cents, and I anticipate it will decline further. This could affect future work.

These people don’t care about fent. I have 3 years off crack and fent. If it was up to the conservatives I would just be left to die in the streets. Everything is a talking point for these people.

Fentanyl deaths have been dropping (thankfully), prob as a result of availability of narcan. Still a problem, but cracking on Mexico and Canada! is almost completely orthogonal to solving the problem.
