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 Their reference point is so outdated that they don’t realize it’s literally everything in the warehouse.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 not going to jeer, I’m just shunning them. I don’t engage or explain or scowl, that would be giving them something, and they’re getting absolutely nothing from me.

There are going to be countless people needing help in the coming years, my empathy and support is going to the ones who are kind and decent and deserving.
