Got the parts to fix my air conditioner in my car, and a used phone, and a retro handheld I had been putting off.

All used, of course. I’m not contributing back to this corrupt hell government.

      Not previous poster; I felt smart a couple days ago buying a few smaller appliances and airbrush parts ahead of the tariffs, then the pharmaceutical ones were announced and it’s like “oh cool, so my chronic health condition will just bankrupt me now instead”

        I really hope that you’re not telling me that you only had a problem with Trump’s tariffs once it affected you personally. Because that would be pretty shitty.

          I see now my comment had a typo: it should have read not previous poster at the start. No, more I felt like I might be “getting ahead” of the tariffs a bit by prepping some and now that preparation is more than wiped out if these pharmaceutical ones happen

          For the record: I happen to care about everyone being impacted negatively by the tariffs, up to and including the hapless fuckwits that voted for it. If that still reads like being selfish, I think you’re trying to read it that way
