    OK. So China is going to retaliate. Because they can. It’s kind of watching a 5 card stud game, and Trump is bluffing. And everyone knows it 🤣

      I don’t know if americans themselves realise that their whole life revoles about shit they buy from china. But they will soon. When the garbage from temu is suddenly expensive garbage.

        I’m expert level at reusing, recycling, repurposing. I could take someone on a 2-hour tour of my house or camp, either one, two hours without repeating myself, and show them all the shit I didn’t buy new.

        Some y’all about the learn how to scavenge. Or not.

        While you’re at it, you’ll learn a whole new diet called, “Grow Your Own Calories.”

        “But I can’t do that in my dense city center!”

        I know. One of a hundred reasons I refused to live like that.

        And fuck me. Tomorrow is my last day off for a minute and I gotta build and farm. FML.

      At this point I don’t think the Chinese need to retaliate. They could just say that they will and just wait for the US to put another bullet in their foot.
