[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]My husband and I have not been affected financially[/i] since our fields (non-fed) are not usually impacted when things like this happen. We are more comfortable than we’ve ever been, actually. I got a raise last month.

But it’s affecting other people around us, coworkers, strangers, friends, and family. And we can’t be 100% certain that our jobs are safe with the current administration. Recent changes at my job in response to current events have doubled my responsibilities, and they’re certainly not hiring anytime soon.

With just….everything….that’s going on, it would be difficult to feel insulated unless I never went outside. Even silly little things, like how the hair salon was almost empty on a Saturday afternoon, remind you of this. I used to sell paintings and custom invitations but stopped earlier this year because people in my neighborhood don’t have money for those things now. Granted, I don’t live in McLean, but still.

This is just blatantly false. We’ve all been affected by these prices, including the wealthiest among us. There was an article in fortune about the wealthy flying overseas to buy cheaper, non-tariffed goods. It’s a lie.

You may not feel a squeeze, but if you buy coffee, electricity, a car, groceries…you’re affected. [/quote]
