I sadly bought one too before going on this sub so I’ll have to wait for it to explode before getting a better scooter

I like the 'No OSRS yellow partyhat' flag.

Red partyhat is the way to go.

The Foxconn plants in China are like cities with 70,000+ people who live in dorms and do everything in the enormous facility/campus. Americans cant even get 6000 people to live in a city without killing someone, and most would rather collect unemployment.

American companies usually raise their prices close to the tariff prices. Bought beef lately?

No, it's the shipping brokers who are ripping y'all off.

Trump puts tariffs on Brazilian beef, our beef prices go up.. it's pretty simple. And some things we can't really make here, like coffee. He said he would bring down grocery prices, remember?
