Everyone else just goes along with the siren song of more better value add jobs that never materialized for the affected population. No one listened to the crazy Texan when he warned us. Now their supposed to be happy having access to $5 T-shirts which last a week and should be mad that tariffs could push that up but could make s better paying job viable for an employer who no longer gets undersold.
