This seems pretty important to crowdsource and talk about, so I'm gonna go ahead and risk violating the no politics rule from a few days ago, because I don't see a better community to ask this. My defense for it not "being politics" is, I'm asking you to keep it to purchasing decisions and how the details of how the tariffs are likely to work, as opposed to who did what. This thread has the potential to save people lots of money if it gets big!

Tariffs are gonna make things more expensive for Americans; what are you planning on buying now instead of later, or stockpiling a little of?

they can take your home

they can take your stuff

they can take your freedom

they can take your very life

they can never take your knowledge

they can never take your strength of will

they can never take your drive to beat them

you can only give them. don't give in.

When they take your life, those other things usually go with it.
