@Nonilex why would toilet paper and food have anything to do with tariffs? USA grows almost all its own food and is a net exporter of all paper products.

…experts have warned consumers not to hoard supplies & goods…Well, many Americans aren’t listening…, instead preparing for the possibility of store shelves being bare amid a #Trump-inflicted #recession. Funnily enough, this includes a number of govt ofcls & staffers working directly for the man who launched these massive new trade wars, all on the grounds of bad #tariff math & the flimsy premise that he would bring economic “liberation” to America & make the country “wealthy again.”#economy

2 #Trump admin ofcls & a Trump aide tell Rolling Stone that they have done some stockpiling of their own in recent weeks or months, & that they know others working in #Republican politics—inside & outside of the admin—who are doing the same. One of the Trump ofcls says they have already run to Target to bulk-buy toilet paper, some types of food, & other household supplies.#US #economy #tariffs #inflation #recession #trumpcession

When asked why they’re doing this, the #Trump aide—who says they & their partner have done similar household-supply hoarding lately, & are also “stashing cash” reserves in their DC-area home—simply replies: “Because it would be stupid not to!” The aide adds that they still believe in Trump’s #tariffs regime, though [😜], citing the supposed advantage of “short-term pain” in exchange for long-term “prosperity.”#US #economy #tariffs #inflation #recession #trumpcession

@Nonilex I think that’s just like executives at any number of big companies telling the rank & file to not sell their stock while they themselves are frantically unloading… yeah, I’ll hoard beans rice and toilet paper, no “expert” is gonna talk me out of that!

@Nonilex Many self-centered, egotistical and a-social people (otherwise known as MAGA or also "Evangelicals") are listening very carefully and will now start hoarding like never before, i'm sure.
