  • The tariffs are absolutely fucking up our country right now, and I live in the US, and we absolutely deserve it. It’s affecting every single one of my projects (I work in an engineering/manufacturing company). Turns out 10-25% tariffs really cuts out a lot of the margin for people so we’ve had to significantly bump prices on aerospace components. This in turn will drive ticket prices up eventually as well. It’s also affecting our groceries. And then the side effects of all of it, is the boycotts from numerous countries. It’s absolutely crushing our trade.

    That said, all of the boycotts are absolutely fantastic. Keep it up. Our lead-addled half of the US needs to understand what isolationist policies do to our country. Maybe it’ll be the wake up call that people need to understand that international cooperation is the key to success.

    I always understood it as your immune system gets weaker from being in the cold and makes it easier for viruses and such to propogate in your body. We’re constantly fighting off minor infections and disease, and thankfully our immune systems are pretty strong…cold does not help it.

    I’d say this one is sort of true…in the right context.
