      I bet a big portion of that 9% shops at Walmart.

      Would been smart for Wally’s bottom line to maybe tell their customers about this before the fucking election.

      Thing is, basic economics is a high school subject, except:

      “Sir, when am I going to have to know how tariffs work in the real world?”

          I don’t think mine even had it as an elective. We were too busy spending 2 years of history classes learning how nice the Pilgrims were to the natives. And this was in Massachusetts, which I believe ranks #1 in education in the US.

            #1 in education.

            And also the only state in the country where every precinct voted for Harris.

            Surely that must be a coincidence, right?

          tariffs, trade wars, and their effects surely were covered, or at least touched on, in a history class or two.

      Harris lost demographics impacted by Biden policies. She failed to disasociate herself with a candidate that his own base wouldn’t support.

      Keep pushing this if you want dems to keep losing.
