Trump's Tariffs

[Mint666]

The cost of living in America was already getting out of hand with the inflation caused by the pandemic money printing.
25% of our currency in circulation was printed within a 2 year period (2020-2022) and no one's wages have yet increased.
Since 2020, because of inflation and stagnant wages, almost everyone is barely affording to get by.

Now we have Trump painting broad strokes with an overnight wave of reciprocal tariffs. The increased cost of imports will just be passed to us, the citizens/consumers.
What is the positive of it? What will be done /right now/ to ameliorate our situation?

What was Trump's aim with this? Someone help me understand.

Politically, it’s the wild west at the moment.
Nothing makes sense.

Focus on increasing your income and safety net.

Personally, I am very concerned. I have been struggling to keep myself afloat for some years now, and the cost of living is just way out of hand.

I am hoping for the best and trying to remain optimistic, but I am also very on edge about this, as it's a very precarious situation.

The United States has become almost unlivable for many Americans, I have experienced this myself and just see this as the case for so many of my fellow Americans. It's extremely sad.

Yes, as Zevists we can grow, weather and find solutions even in situations which appear hopeless, but it is still very upsetting to see friends, family, close loved ones and fellow Americans bombarded so heavily with financial struggles outside of their control and no real serious solution for this presently except pushing very hard to rise above this.

With our efforts and the Gods, may we forge a better world that is free of alot of these issues. As the Golden Age is within our reach.
