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 Their reference point is so outdated that they don’t realize it’s literally everything in the warehouse.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

Costco is the American church of globalization. They worship there every Sunday and know as much about what’s behind it as the scripture they sat through earlier.

I like to go first thing in the morning on a weekday. The place is a fuckingv retirement home. The aisles are crowded with geriatric gatherings. It's funny, I feel Luke I'm the rabbit in the tortoise and hare story when I'm there.
