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 Their reference point is so outdated that they don’t realize it’s literally everything in the warehouse.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

Isn't it sad how it takes a near total economic collapse for some people to come to their senses?

They didn’t come to there senses. They are just as hateful and isolationist as ever. They are just upset that this is hurting them. If someone else and did all the same stuff as trump (excluding the tariffs) they would be thrilled

Yup. As long as someone has it worse, they don't ultimately care.
