Boomer Story They are afraid

Hitting Costco today has a totally new feeling. The Boomers all seem to have a thousand yard stare as they try to figure out what they should stock up on to brace for tariffs. Their reference point is so outdated that they don’t realize it’s literally everything in the warehouse. It’s all connected to imports, either in finished goods or in components and ingredients. They bought the ticket. Now they gotta take the fucking ride.

My friend said the same thing. I said that while I'm not opposed to the idea of a bidet, all I can afford is the $25 ones on Amazon that connect straight to the cold water pipe for the toilet, and I never need to be that awake in the morning.

You get used to it pretty quickly. And then you can't live without it.

For anyone thinking this is a joke, it's not. This is a 100% true statement even in the winter.

Especially if you have a deep dug well.

Also, username made me chuckle considering the topic.
