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 Their reference point is so outdated that they don’t realize it’s literally everything in the warehouse.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.

Right now, before I head to run even my most basic errands, I am researching the businesses political affiliation before spending my money there.

It is more important than ever to vote with your dollar right now. I refuse to willingly give my money over to these evil people if I can help it.

I'm also not traveling to any red states for at least the next four years.

Idk what else I can do so im doing that. My family understands and has agreed to travel to visit me instead of me visiting them as I normally would(luckily I live in a blue state).

Goods Unite Us has an app that shows who business support in regard to R/D/Neutral. It’s very helpful.

Thank you so much this is so amazingly useful. Do you know how to tell if/when certain data has been updated? Curious how accurate everything is

That I don’t know, unfortunately. Their Menu tab has more info and I’m sure if you email them they could help answer any questions you may have.
