What impact do you think it will have on you?
Are there critical items to purchase now that will be too expensive to afford next year?
Are you changing your savings or investments?
I think it’s going to hurt me as a retail worker. Any retail worker knows, that your pay is usually based on how well your store is doing. And your store’s profit is tied to the purse of the corporation that in turn, pays you. Now if Trump is dead set serious on wiping Immigrants out of the workforce and not willing to raise the wage and combat inflation (we know he won’t). That just means the corporations will start cutting jobs than doing what’s right.
And if hundreds of retail jobs are cut, so there will be store closures. Store closures happen, you’re out of work because people will not want to pay the high prices of inflation once everything is in full swing.
So, I don’t know how I’m preparing for this. It’s going to upset a lot of my plans going into next year if my store is affected. I work at Wal-Mart and basically their stance is they’re going to raise prices so we can expect to see jobs cut and store closures because of underperforming profits of said stores. Simply because a so-called “businessman” doesn’t know how the fuck tariffs work.
As a shopper. I guess it’s back to relying on Dollar Tree again…
I’d mostly just be shocked a politician followed through on campaign promises
Gettin into mycology. Oyster mushrooms are a good meat substitute, and easy to grow
Upping my smelting and casting game to start producing gears and gear-based machinery
I stocked up on ammunition. Should be good for a while
Moved forward large purchases that cannot be delayed 5 years.
I am not changing my investments. My predictions on market impacts tend to be wrong. The stock market and the economy are not the same thing (market can be up during recession).
I am working to get healthier and update vaccinations. I don’t know what is coming but being able to run, climb, and lift are versatile.
I’m lookin into and learning more about mini greenhouses and how/what is easy to start growing. If i am successful i want to show others in my town how to break some of kroger’s grip cuz shit’s getting real out here. It feels like something im maybe capable of, so i guess I’m starting by pretending i can.
Whatever happens happens. Don’t really care that much anymore.
Business won’t let him do most of that. It was just loud fake superficial concepts of plans . His real task is staying in power. I think our biggest concern now is loss of immigrants.
ETA- i was initially pretty concerned and wanted to really cut back spending and increase savings. We will likely do some of that, but we’re still planning little holiday trips and doing work on the house.
Wouldn’t you want to do exactly the opposite in the face of really bad inflation?
Spend any extra money on imported goods that are consumable, especially chinese. As that money will quickly be worth less.
I suspect businesses won’t let him deport immigrants either. They are all employed as cheap laborers.
Yeah, Texas industry has already been mentioning it’s worry for farming, construction, and restaurants.
the most expensive item I own is a bicycle and I’ve never had savings. i’m already $30k+ in debt so whatever
im not, none of that shit is going to happen
Death to America
i’m gonna move to china as soon as physically possible
I may buy more dried fruit and bulk t-shirts.
Somebody should make a website that tracks prices on goods and other items from the day Trump becomes president and throughout his term.
He said he would lower prices. His politics says the opposite. Let’s see.
That’s the Consumer Price Index.
There’s also the related Producer Price Index which unfortunately does not include tariffs but will be interesting to watch.
This should be tracked regardless of who’s in charge
probably would only work well if backed by a browser extension, camelcamelcamel is nice but IDK what covers local prices for grocery stores.
