MAGA’s gonna party like it’s 2020!
Anything that hurts americans is a good thing.
Indeed. It is quite fascinating how much pain Americans can endure.

rump proves he still has no idea what a tarriff is:
“I am this giant store. It’s a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there,” he said. “And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I’ll say, ‘If you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.’ ”
It’s hysterical how he compares the US to a department store, a kind of store that is all but dead in 2025.
And then he makes the surprized picachu face when people shop elsewhere.
Thanks for sharing the archive link!
Some things should suddenly get much cheaper as well, like Pork.
Curious as to why you say this?
China stopped importing it.
Correct… but i wonder if the massive corpo farms that generated that would lower prices or let it rot at a high price and write it off as a loss?
The “should” in my statement was very intentional. Will it? I don’t know. But given massive amounts of excess product in the supply chain, it should
Pork should become stupid cheap.
They will slaughter the animals and dump them illegally near a source of drinking water before they lower prices. We do not live in a market based economy.
<insert quote from Grapes of Wrath>
Was about to say this. Ironicly no capitalist will be happy to see the price go down. And its easier to have solidarity among the pork owners.
Solidarity? I thought it was spelled c.o.l.l.u.s.i.o.n.?
McRib comimg back!
I bet the US bomb stores are still fully stocked for *srael.
God that censorship of words you don’t like bullshit is so annoying.

What a god damn clown. I can’t tell if he’s to stupid to realize what he’s doing… or knows exactly what he’s doing, and giving the most moronic responses to his actions. Basically, I can’t tell where on the IQ range he is, from “can’t wipe his own ass” or “actual genius”
“Can’t wipe his own ass” except he knows how to game the US system to benefit himself better than possibly anyone else.
He’s exploiting exactly the same weakness that llms exploit to appear so smart: he just sounds confident all the time, and since people use confidence as a shortcut to evaluate accuracy, anyone who isn’t paying attention to the actual substance is going to just nod and smile at the confidence and assume everything is perfect.

Let’s see how long they can survive on thoughts and prayers.
Everyone ready to start intermittent fasting without choice?
I’m gonna combine it with intermittent non-pooping.
Grateful at this moment for my wife who grew up food insecure who stocked up several months of food. That will run out though eventually.
Faster than you think. I’ve lived off zero a few long stretches, it get really irritating when you realize you’re out of fat to lose.
I’ve been seeing a lot of tiktoks about raising meat rabbits lately
None of those weepers have the stones for raising rabbits.
rabbit stew 🤤
AI Answer to how many you’d need
To sustainably feed yourself with rabbits, you’d likely need a small breeding colony of rabbits. A few does (female rabbits) and a buck (male rabbit) could produce enough meat for one person. A guideline is one doe and a buck can produce about 2-3 dozen meat rabbits per year, says Polyculture Farming. More Details:
Breeding:
A small breeding colony of rabbits, like 2 does and a buck, could potentially produce 40-50 rabbits per year, enough for a small family, according to Mother Earth News.
Meat Yield:
A rabbit can yield a significant amount of meat. One rabbit can easily feed a family of four, and they are generally sold whole, weighing just under three pounds, says Countryside Magazine and FoodPrint.
Sustainability:
Rabbits can be a sustainable meat source due to their relatively efficient conversion of feed to meat compared to other livestock. Individual Needs:
The number of rabbits needed would depend on your individual meat consumption and preferences.
Food is one of the few things we export more to China than we import.
It’s one way to lower the obesity rate.

Any society is three meals from revolution
This probably won’t be a starvation situation. This will be a supply crunch for all the cheap shit at Walmart and Target that Americans love.
Have no fear, Classico Pasta sauce should fare just fine, because their main ingredient is now water! Also now that it’s the main ingredient, they can just dial it up as much as they want without it moving up the list anymore!
All the sugar addicts are going to flip.
Let me put it this way. Today I spent over $700 on a massive amount of groceries and various toiletries.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph and all his carpenter friends what the fuck did you spend 700 dollars on? Is that US?
Like I know you said groceries and various toiletries but the curiosity is tickling me.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph and all his carpenter friends what the fuck did you spend 700 dollars on? Is that US?
Eggs.
4 of them to be precise.
As an individual I spend about 100 a week on groceries. My guess is stocking up for weeks of food which I’ve been slowly stockpiling myself. Or a large family 4-5+
Could actually be a lot of canned goods. The top shelf stuff is like $5 per can 😳
Probably a lot of non-perishables, or like those camping meals with a 10-year life span.
Last time I was in the states I figured it worked out to about 100 per bag of grocerys.
So they bought 7 bags. Or maybe 5 now.
Easy to do.
Yes, USD. I bought some fresh food (and do so regularly), but also a ton of non-perishables: lots of canned food, various kinds of rice, cereals, oatmeal, lots of water, etc. Protein and carbs. 48 rolls of toilet paper (I have a bidet so this will last me about two years), and so on.
I’m building up my reserves. I have a large pantry and several large cupboards to keep it all in, and could probably buy another $700 worth and have a place to keep it. I also cook at home for most meals and so I rotate through these food stuffs faster than you’d expect. There’s no canned food older than two years, and most items are newer than six months. I generally buy more than I need, but not usually this much.
I’m not a “prepper” in an “underground bunker” sense, but I do prepare for emergencies and instability, whatever form it may take: political, yes, but I also live on several fault lines, so “the big one” might happen at some point. In the winter, ice and snow occasionally confine me to my home for a week or two at a time. They’re all the same to me from a planning perspective.
The original price was $850, but I clip coupons and maximize sales and brought it down by over $150.

Assuming you’re a homeowner, make sure to check if your home insurance policy covers earthquake damage. By default most insurance policies don’t cover seismic.
It does, and I have an automatic gas shutoff valve as well (it’s gone off once before, which made for a pretty surprising morning shower).
But this is good advice for anyone who lives in a similar area. Don’t put yourself in a position where you could lose everything because you were trying to save a few bucks a month.
48 rolls of toilet paper (I have a bidet so this will last me about two years), and so on.
Seriously, you have a bidet. Plop a small bottle of handsoap near the toilet and squirt a small bit on your wiping hand while the spray does it’s thing and you clean off using the soapy fingers. Let the bidet rinse your hands and asshole for a few more seconds. Keep a towel nearby for drying your hands and ass, that is replaced as you feel and serves only that purpose. If you do it right, no fecal matter will be on your hands when you dry and you can wash them again at the sink.
Toilet paper is just a waste.
Stockpiling
A few dozen eggs?
I think they’re just trying to get us to panic buy stuff again
No, they don’t know what the fuck they are doing.
There is a difference, the difference being that they don’t understand how badly this is going to end for everyone.
This won’t be “covid like” shortages because covid was chaotic and unpredictable whereas this is a result of a very predictable progression of the U.S. into fascism… and the shortages as a result from that as other economies disentangle from the U.S. economy will be long lasting and indefinite not transient like the crisis point of a pandemic.
There is no “weathering” an existential loss of trust.
And people probably will.
For the most part, the US has staple foods covered internally. We import stuff like coffee, but grains and potatoes and chicken/pork/beef are all here. I expect that when people see the shelves for electronic trinkets go bare at Walmart, they will panic buy food. This will end up like covid food shelves; a bunch of scary videos of food shelves being empty, but then restocked within a week.
That’ll mean you may not be able to get things at the grocery store when you want them for a while.
I had happened to buy a small chest freezer just before covid, and that ended up being such a good investment just then. Looks like it will be again.
The USA is highly dependent on China for animal feed supplements (all the vitamins and minerals and amino acids that they add to raw grain to make it a complete diet for factory farm raised animals).
About 50% of all the staple crops are exported, and that market will collapse. Farmers may choose not to plant anything if the market prices are too low to cover their operations.
Normally all the trucks and train cars get filled up and take our food products to the ports , empty, then fill up with imports. Since we will not be exporting, the costs of running empty trucks and trains all over will double the transport cost components. Even for distribution of domestic food items the transport system will not be efficient any more.
It’s a complex system of interdependencies that will unravel in unexpected ways.
We are definitely not covered for what will happen.
Buy them return if it does not happen.
There are actually quite a few things at WalMart made in the USA. That was big news in the 90s? early 00s? Do stock up on medical supplies like diabetic test strips and maybe get that new glucose tester today. I bet business in Thailand and Cambodia booms this year.
Who CARES? I’m a Jesus Loving Church Going American and I FULLY Support this AS LONG as I still get to Bully GAY KIDS!
-LITERALLY Everyone who Voted for Trump since he LITERALLY CAMPAIGNED ON THIS!
And brown people!
For heavens sake Johnson, didnt your mother teach you that its a wink and a nudge. You dont just say that stuff out loud.
A really stunning amount of people, when confronted with evidence during the campaign (i.e. project 2025 or tariffs or what have you) simply chose to swallow whatever one sentence dismissal Trump issued; “Oh, he said he’s never heard of P2025”, “oh, no, we don’t pay tariffs, the company does”, etc. I know a fair amount of them now that are quietly eating crow and upset with the way things are going. The hot new thing I’ve noticed with the more normal half of MAGA right now is trying to come up with reasons why Trump is “acting so weird”.
I could give them a few reasons if they’re struggling to come up with their own.
The article is behind a paywall. Do you have other sources?

It’s all the drinking of liberal tears. And the drinking of conservative tears. And the drinking of the tears of the middle class. And drinking of the tears of poor people. And just eating fucking crow all the time cause he’s a goddamn moron. I’m sure there’s a lot of otherreasons. Those are just a few.
