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…
