People will eat out less.

My order from Dominoes last week was $70 for a couple of pizzas and breadsticks.

My order from Chick-fil-A was over $47.

I’m going to think long and hard about eating out.

Nothing is going to go up in price. Taking $3 billion per day out of the economy is inherently deflationary. But it won't matter because you won't be able to afford that anyways because it will come from your pocket too

Okay so as an example taxing cigarettes does not make them more expensive


Assume that there is just one good in an economy. If there are $100 dollars in an economy, and the price of something is $10, you can buy 10 of them. But let's say, there are only $80 dollars in an economy, at $10, you can only buy 8. So if you need to sell all 10, you will reduce the price to $8.

Now, let's say, we add a tariff of $2. What is the price of that good?

You are reading the posts of a very bored economist trying to write a book on a very rainy Friday afternoon. I can explain further if you'd like?



Please! (Not sarcastic)

Economics 101. The price of equivalent items produced/grown in the U.S will increase to just below the new import price.

It’s like you’ve never heard of supply and demand.

Ok, well, it's going up 25% more. Enjoy!


This. Imagine thinking that that PP was an intelligent rebuttal.

Get ready to grow vegetables in your balcony or terrace if you don’t have a yard.
where do you live that allows chickens? We need 2 acres where we live. Our measly half acre won’t cut it. What do you feed your chickens?

In February?


Ever heard of canning and freezing?


Canned avocados. Yum!


Avocados and what bananas that they somehow managed to grow in Virginia.

And what, you're also farming shrimp and salmon in your back yard?

My grandparents were farmers, like go kill the chicken for dinner farmers, and I'm smelling BS.

Yes, I was just thinking "I'm so glad I live in California and get almost all of these locally." Bananas aren't local, nor is fish/seafood, but everything else is. I don't drink alcohol so that's a nonissue for me.
who will pick the California fruit and how will they get the water to irrigate the crops?
