The president doesn’t control that. The federal government doesn’t even control that.

That’s a state by state situation.

Define “survive”

Humans are incredibly resilient but at the same time yes, more of them will end up homeless and some will likely die before they would otherwise have.

That being said most people won’t care, because the ones that will end up in the worst situations are the ones without family or friends to even be aware it’s happening.

I’d like to point out that a lot of the world doesn’t even have separate (or even any) devices for drying. Especially areas like the Middle east, Africa, and Asia. It’s still very common to hang dry clothes in many warmer climates. Japan for example doesn’t use them very much because electricity prices are so high and space is so limited. They may also just be a combined washer and dryer unit in one that does both functions due to a lack of space.

They won’t admit it, but they will still cry. I will know what caused it, and that’s sufficient for me.

So do a chargeback with the credit card company, tell them it was in fact fraud.

If Capital one already reported it as fraud, what’s the problem? You shouldn’t need to prove it’s fraud, the business should need to prove it’s valid based on what I’ve experienced before. That’s their problem, not yours.

Eventually the house of cards fails when things get bad enough. The ride is going to suck though.

On one hand, it’s going to be funny watching them cry about it once the consequences of their actions start to impact their lives negatively.

On the other hand, I live in Canada, so it’s going to fuck us over too.

Lol, this is going to be funny as fuck.

If you think people were mad about inflation before, just wait until they realize that tariffs cause even more of it.
