@wdlindsy Combine cruel mass deportation, 25% tariffs on our #1 source of imported produce (
& 
dominate our agricultural imports), + ongoing crop failures due to worsening climate disasters, & I fear we’ve got a very ugly, inhumane, self-imposed calamity of epic proportions in our very near/immediate future. How tragically, nauseatingly ironic that it was reportedly “negative economic vibes” in a robust & leading global economy that put us in this looming, preventable, unmitigated disaster.
@Laloofah I very much agree.
