Trump's administration is, of course, trying to speedrun Idiocracy. I think too many people won't care until their daily life is impacted though. When they go to the store and they're out of beans, or can't get a new gas guzzling truck because the price doubled. What ICE is doing is terrible, but concentration camps are someone else's problem, somewhere far away, if you don't want to care about them.
I'm wondering where we are on that track. When you want to do something you've always done, but you just can't anymore. When even MAGAts can't pretend that things aren't worse.
I bid on electrical construction contracting and the random tariffs have raised the price of electrical components fairly badly, and made us have to raise prices. Really Covid delays are the worst thing in our field. The lead times backed up in 2020 and maybe are just getting back to normal now, except the threat of tariffs have added a new twist. The price of food has been going up since covid also. I don't think it has anything to do with the current administration, because they were going up in the last one too. I think worse things in food prices are going to hit in a year or so if they don't stop kicking out the field workers... The worst thing really that can be directly attributed to the current administration is that they are giving local farm workers a hard time and raising the tone of the rhetoric against Mexicans in general in red hat conservatives. That is reason enough to hate this admin...
