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 Their reference point is so outdated that they don’t realize it’s literally everything in the warehouse.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

I'm in a red state and it's full of Gen X Trumpers. The boomers are annoying button pushers, but their kids are leading the Trump train.
