He has no goddamned clue what he's doing. Whoever is speculating that is welcome to point to even one time where Trump prepared to keep people from economic harm in such a fashion, but I've only ever seen him walk things back, not actually insulate someone from harm.
Good news! With the tarriffs throwing cold water on freight all across the US, we won't need as many truck drivers!
...I really wish I was joking, but the fiance is OTR and freight has already slowed for him. Here's an article from February that talks about how it was already slower than expected.
I don't know why but I can't get your screenshots to load. Not even on the web app.
Or the moopsy.
I like the cut of your gib.
It may already be too late for you.
This has killed my spirit a little.
I'm so glad you said this because I came to say the same thing.
"Oh, the 62-year old man with diabetes lost vision? That's literally never happened to anyone ever."
That happens to people on insulin, off insulin, on other sugar controlling drugs! This is diabetes!
I went back and reread xkcd somewhat recently, and seeing each of the cancer ones, and how the panels were added as they kept living...
Ugh, I teared up just typing that. Christ.
It's probably made of that super light material, and if I use too big of a fork, I'll drop rice all over myself. Or get too big of a mouthful.
I'm glad someone on the internet finally figured out that we all have rules about forks. Every ND person I've met has a fork rule. My fiance (ADHD) and I (ADHD also) have two sets of silverware- one for him, and one for me, and then we have the weird loose ones from either set that were imperfect in meeting our demands.
I have an answer for this that's from my personal life if that's helpful.
I've lived either in the great plains or in the rural south my entire life, and I only found out a year ago you can pay $20 to rent a pickup truck. So up until that point, I thought, every group (of friends or family) has to have a person with a truck in it, in case someone needs to move, or in case of an emergency (like a tornado effing up their house and now you have to clear the property).
When I found out that renting a truck is so cheap, I was so mad! All that time wasted paying extra for more car than I needed! I prefer something small and cheap and efficient, personally, but so does everyone else I know so I always wound up with the truck. (And I helped a LOT of people move over the years as a result.)
Obviously this is n=1 but at least it's my story? And my answer is legit, "ignorance and being too poor to own my house, and landlords like to jack rent on someone staying in one place every year so you have to keep moving to avoid that needless creep of fees."
