Got the parts to fix my air conditioner in my car, and a used phone, and a retro handheld I had been putting off.

All used, of course. I’m not contributing back to this corrupt hell government.

      Yup. I’ve been busy, oh you know, managing having fucking cancer and having necessary surgeries.

      I only fucking wish I had money to spend to rebuild my life before it all goes to shit.

          Not previous poster; I felt smart a couple days ago buying a few smaller appliances and airbrush parts ahead of the tariffs, then the pharmaceutical ones were announced and it’s like “oh cool, so my chronic health condition will just bankrupt me now instead”

              I see now my comment had a typo: it should have read not previous poster at the start. No, more I felt like I might be “getting ahead” of the tariffs a bit by prepping some and now that preparation is more than wiped out if these pharmaceutical ones happen

              For the record: I happen to care about everyone being impacted negatively by the tariffs, up to and including the hapless fuckwits that voted for it. If that still reads like being selfish, I think you’re trying to read it that way
