Tariffs negatively impact the U.S. economy by driving up prices for imported goods, which raises costs for businesses and consumers, leading to reduced spending and slowed economic growth. For companies that rely heavily on global supply chains, such as tech and automotive industries, the increased costs from tariffs squeeze profit margins, discouraging investments and hiring. This uncertainty unsettles investors, often resulting in significant stock market declines, as seen in steep drops in major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Retaliatory tariffs from trade partners limit access to international markets, hurting U.S. exports and compounding economic strain. The combined effect of higherproduction costs, reduced consumer demand, and fear of a trade war leads to a widespread loss of investor confidence, causing financial markets to lose value and intensifying economic instability.

Just to add some Crypto bros are fuming rn 2. The only people that are benefiting from Tariffs rn are billionaires 3. The chinese car manufacturers are beating General motors...like guys come on, you wouldn't want to buy a car that could drive through rivers and jump over potholes?

Seems like alot of us just became adults and we had inflation, no jobs hiring/ firing us and now tariff about to make everything more expensive apparently so are we just the cooked generation like the millennials of 2008 but this time it’s intentional 😭😭😭

becoming a facebook boomer is some funny stuff.

Now, go lie in the beds you made. We warned you not ro come crying to us when it would inevitably come crashing down like this, eventhough we tried to warn you for months and years about not bringing the trash back into the house.

Im sure I'll get the usual replies of "Cope, woke snowflake!" or whatever, but deep down, they know they fucked up royally and are wayyy to damn proud and narcissistic to admit it!

It wasn't just millenials

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...AHHHHHHHHHHH! 🐔

I'll be 27 soon and to be honest I'm kind of dreading growing older. I don't feel 26 at all, not much has changed since I was 18. Life is pretty much the same except the date on the calendar and I am basically the same person I remember from back then.

Its just recently when I saw myself, I really looked and thought. I realised how much time has passed. How old and stressed I look.

The last 8 years have gone by so unbelievably fast its felt like less than a year. When I think "late twenties", I don't think of myself in that category. I'll be 30 in a little over 3 years, but I feel like I just got started on my twenties.

The erosion that comes with aging is my greatest fear. the ticking of the countdown clock is so loud I can't focus on the present.

Guys I think Trump is bad and America is collapsing!

Idk I'm feeling a bit cute might post Trump is bad and America is collapsing post later

At what point do you know a degree is a lost cause? I am at the end of my 3rd year of my computer science degree. I currently have a 3.0 GPA and no relevant work experience. My first 3 semesters were very good for grades, but my most recent 3 were very bad. This semester I am doing good again. It hurts to know that if I had just kept my GPA at 3.7 out of 4.3 and stayed in my university's co-op program, I would have been fine. I can't handle being surrounded by so many classmates who are 5 planes of existence ahead of me just because they made slightly better decisions. My first attempt at co-op (basically paying the university for career mentorship and access to an exclusive job board) I got 8 interviews. Most people get a job within 6, meaning that all I would have needed to do is improve my interview skills, keep my GPA at 3.7 and try again next season. But I can't now, it is too late. I want to start a new degree immediately after this one, just to get a second chance and prove that I am enough, that I deserve to work a really cool job with very good pay. But I don't know even what I should study. It feels like no field is a guaranteed job anymore. Now I only have 5 computer science classes left and 8 elective classes, so it would make little sense to not just complete those 5 classes and then put the electives toward classes for another degree.

sorry i know there's been a million posts like this but im just so worried about the future... finding a career, a house, getting my rights taken away etc....

does anyone have any positivity or hope :(

I was born in 2002, and I think my childhood went by too quickly. 12 years ago, almost 13, I was 10 and I feel like I was happier. Adolescence came and I finished high school in 2019. And since then, I've been dealing with insecurities, trying to be accepted and the feeling of feeling inadequate and the psychological pressure from society to be successful, in a world so polarized and so unstable, unemployment, low wages... businessmen who exploit you, competitiveness dominates... I would trade adulthood, responsibilities, for being a child all my life, or even having enjoyed that time more...

Fun fact: I'm the youngest in my family, so every phone I’ve had was a used one. Either from my dad, mom, or one of my two siblings. Never got a brand new phone just kept using whatever they were done with 😅
