      You ever heard of trickle down economics? The thing that doesn’t exist?

      Well, it does exist, but the other way round. If the top makes a lot of money, nothing trickles down to the bottom. But if the top loses money, a LOT trickles down to the bottom. Companies lose money and will try to make up for the loss, raising prices, which directly affects you.

      Also, this is literally the pro-trump, pro-tariff talking point being passed around, that only the rich are going to suffer.

      Don’t let people say this. I’ve been through recessions, have you? Has any of the children reading this shit? I cannot fathom how such dense, dumb talking points are being kept alive.
