When a firm buys goods from an importer they pay the importer and the importer pays a tax on the income that is what a tariff is.

If an importer were to increase the cost of their goods it would just make them pay more income tax.

I’m not saying I’m not hurt by it I’m saying the price of goods isn’t effected purely out of economic principle.

The tariffs never went into effect. Except for the ones on China. The stock market crashed because Trump was using tariffs as a tool of statecraft and the market was uncertain. Ie people weren’t buying and making deals because they were like “hmm let’s wait the grass might be greener”

there’s enough demand in the American market any importer will pay reluctantly at a loss, the importer could hike prices all they want it would only increase the tax.

there are going to be people who say import taxes are justifying price increases merely to make profit it’s economical.

Trump capitulated to his donors the second the market crashed which just shows what will happen in 90s days. The market isn’t real it’s based on speculation it was super volitle because no one was sure what was happening. We didn’t even import goods with the tariff, it was a week.

No because most food products come from America. We’re like the world’s biggest exporter of food.
And most importers are American anyways.

I don’t support Trump at all but I supported the tariffs because it made billionaires who got Trump elected lose money, 500 billion dollars to be exact, and just shows anyone who’s paying attention who’s truly in power. I want representation in my government not lobbyists and tech billionaires.

sounds to me more like skin irritation on stretch marks that were already there. I tend to notice more stretch marks when I’m less bloated so maybe you justice noticed them not being as buffed up from losing weight. Skin and skin elasticity is weird

people have probably started to accept you as a fat person where as before they might have tried to push you back into the gym/diet- thinking that it might motivate you to go back. Now they are accepting you as you are obviously I’m not inside their head but I would think that they are genuinely just trying to make you feel good, just like any other person. You’ll get the “have you lost weight you look good” all the time.

Seems fake to me. The probability on that seems rather low givin how few feedists there are.

I’ll try that thank you. probably gonna take it easy within reason this weekend. But even my splurges yesterday and Tuesday were moderate relative to normal. I haven’t been on a scale at all but I doubt much has changed.

Was good for a few days actually did like 2 days with a fast then broke yesterday and today but I went and got some stuff for salads and chicken. I did go to physical therapy, which was good. I don’t really know where to start

it’s tough but I’m still around just thought it might keep me from overeating but I can’t seem to stop
