      Elon told the only truth you will ever hear when said the next fours years are going be really hard on the lower class. Anyone not a billionaire is going feel the pain.

    It’s cool. I’ll just start stealing food if it gets too expensive to buy. I encourage anyone else to do the same. If it comes down to you not being able to take care of yourself and your loved ones because of price, you steal that food and we’ll all gladly turn a blind eye.

      Actually thanks to Trump hamstringing the CDCs attempts to reign in the bird flu outbreak, egg prices are set to skyrocket.

      No, because Biden, who was in cahoots with the egg cartel, used his political voodoo that all Democrats gain after their child adrenochrome infusions in the pizza basement to price-lock eggs and make gas expensive.

      You’d have to be extremely selfish and a climate denier to think that the price of eggs going up is a bad thing

    I am still hopeful that he changes his mind (aka “The oligarchs backing him make it clear that he can commit suicide from five bullets to the back of the head”) and, after he finishes his morning ritual of watching 12 hours of fox news, he says something like “We were going to start the tariffs today but Canada have shown they are willing to listen to us. Let’s give them a week” and keeps doing that for the foreseeable future.

    I am fully aware that is copium.

    The White House said on Friday that the new tariffs on Canada and Mexico will take effect on Feb. 1, denying a Reuters report that they would be delayed until March 1.

    So did the tariffs take effect or not? Or are they supposed to be announced closer to the end of the day US time?

      As of 11:46am ET, they have not taken effect. I am NOT sure if Trump administration knows how to implement what they want to do LOL.

          I just wanted you to know that you can’t just say the word tariffs and expect anything to happen.

          I didn’t say it. I declared it.

        Many past presidents have said implementing policy is far harder than declaring it. There’s a big delay, and big gap.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re dysfunctional for a while, and that tariffs don’t take effect when he says they do.

        This would honestly be very Trump, as he can just jawbone his base into believing they’re reality as he often did in the business world, before politics.
