I have been a news junkie all my life, as of November 6th I no longer watch news. I have not been reading any reports either. What happens here forward I really don't care. hopefully I can just enjoy the life I have left.

Why I am checked out, because I cannot understand Trump voters. I find them disgusting.
45-year-old former construction worker in PA:

His vote is going to bring unnecessary suffering to many people. Maybe that why he voted that way. People who felt powerless can make others feel their pain without consequences for themselves or their family.
That is until the tariffs kick in.

Self Checkout Activity...
When you check out, ask the person next to you if they voted for #47, and if they did, hit them up for the increased cost of the tariff.
@Madken65 @VeganHiker @Bix @LnzyHou @Al515151 @InUnfunky @CanisPundit
No, that's not resistance, that's suicide.
@Madken65 @VeganHiker @Bix @LnzyHou @Al515151 @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Liliki
Check the label for "made in USA" for there would be no tariff.
@JanetZumba_FalPals @Madken65 @VeganHiker @Bix @LnzyHou @Al515151 @InUnfunky @CanisPundit
"Made in the USA" can still mean with parts made not in the USA, which would also incur tarrifs. Also if made in the USA is indeed cheaper, it won't be long for price gouging to grow out of control. The tarrifs will affect EVERYTHING.
@JanetZumba_FalPals @Madken65 @Bix @LnzyHou @Al515151 @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Liliki
Unfortunately the criteria for the made in USA label is vague.
""All or virtually all":
The key phrase is that the product must be "all or virtually all" made in the USA, which means a very small amount of foreign content might be acceptable in certain situations."
@JanetZumba_FalPals @Madken65 @VeganHiker @Bix @LnzyHou @Al515151 @InUnfunky @Liliki
“Made in the USA”. “Assembled in the USA” whatever the regulatory or legal definitions may be presently could change drastically.
Here @Bix I encourage you and others to stay informed at least for your own navigation of the choppy seas ahead. Control what you can, influence what you can or face helplessness.

Let us learn how to make our own clothing, if possible, or find someone who is already locally making clothes, or buy used from consignment

I’ve bought J Jill, Michael Kors, LL Bean, Burberry, Patagonia etc at Goodwill. Know your labels. Free range with intention and attention.
Recently bought my DIL small porcelain Brie baking dish from Pillivuyt France for $3. Another Habitat ReStore score.
Hostess gift for Thanksgiving with Fromage d’Affinois to bake for DIL & son.

Nope, I live in Arkansas so they would probably shoot me.
