No matter what kind of business you run, if you haven’t already raised your prices, you’re taking a huge risk.
We have no idea what’s going to happen with the tariffs, what products will eventually increase 10 to 100+%, how the loss of the migrant workforce will impact food costs, how the ongoing war in Ukraine will impact fuel and crop costs, or how any of the other idiotic decisions this administration is making will impact every corner of every industry.
I mean, I’ve personally been stocking up on supplies since November 2024. The only thing we know for sure is that this guy is currently running the country exactly how people in the 20th century feared “a woman” would run the country - emotionally and erratically with zero assurances.
I would be terrified if I were a business owner.
I dunno. That last bit seems a bit much. I don’t see these cowards pulling a Tiananmen Sq.
However, speaking of militias, or rather speaking to militias - THIS is the intent of a Well Regulated Militia - to fight authoritarianism. Had you taken an oath, as a member of a Well Regulated Militia, Trumpism would be your target.
Unregulated militias, militias not authorized by the state, are not constitutionally protected and are outlawed in all fifty states. States should have been pressing charges against the Proud Boys, et al. Now they’ve been empowered and here we are. The groups pseudo-defined by their obligation to personal liberty are the fascists.
But the rest of this, yeah. That’s what we’ve been expecting since November. Shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. What we really should be concerned with is how people keep getting dumber and accepting the lies told by this administration and the propaganda outfits. Even the liberal news is guilty of distorting the truth.
Are you going to be surprised if an actual civil war happens? You’ve gotta be half expecting it, right?
