I want a Honda Stepwagon or Toyota Hiace.
Yeah we're stocking up on everything we can now, so we can tighten our belts and hopefully save some money over the next few years, but also not directly give the oligarchs any more of our money. I've been researching local and woman owned businesses that I'd like to support for the necessities, and thankfully our grocery store is a local chain. I have a friend who is offering to make basic clothing, including underwear, in exchange for childcare, eggs, and produce. People around here are going to get creative and it's actually giving me some hope that things won't be as bad as we think.
Out of curiosity, what things are you stocking up on?
It's a long list but here's a comment I shared in another thread that might give you an idea: https://lemmy.world/comment/13394779
If you want our actual list just let me know and I can message you this evening. But it's 2 handwritten pages 😬
Great list to start and points me in the right direction. We have two toddler and a new baby who came 10 weeks early so he’s in the nicu. Trying to get things for them as well as us and our two dogs. Good to know, thanks for the info
I have non-blood relatives with family in Ukraine. For now.
I have others with mounting medical debt that is as dangerous as the cancers.
I know victims of SA that are sure it won't happen to any of their family or friends.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope this is the wrongest I've ever been.
Oh jeez, even if it isn't true, "It's okay, I'll be able to afford the price increase no matter what. Best of luck to you though." is the best possible response to anyone convinced that tariffs are a good idea.
Just agree with them and say "I don't mind paying 2, 3, even 4 times as much for groceries and other household items if it teaches China a lesson. Elon said we were going to need to make sacrifices to do this."
Make sacrifices AND learn to endure some hardship under Trump.
