Going to hide here in the Lounge....

Just posted my two cents in GD.

So anyone comes looking, you haven't seen me. Especially if it's Skittles!


Me, I'm just waiting for them to fix the light in my kitchen area so I can try filming another YouTube video. That is if they can stop playing with Trooper long enough. Everyone falls in love with Trooper. For a pitbull, he has more fans than you would believe. If only he didn't hate cameras.

Boy, he really hates them. I try to get a picture and forget it. He will go under the bed, he will hide , and if he can't hide, he will make the only shot is of his rear end. He's a trip!

I'm worried for the impoverished of this country.

And I count myself in it.

The tariffs on Mexico will drive food prices up. The tariffs on China will drive prices up on much too. And the poor will be the ones to pay the most.

When you're on a "need shoestring""budget, many a necessity is bought in places like Dollar Tree. Much of what they sell is from China. Their prices will go up because of the stuff will cost them more. Economics 101.

Many a fresh fruits and vegetables come out of Mexico. With prices going up due to the tariffs, many a poor person won't be able to afford. And the fresh is the first hit. Next will be the canned. With the price of meet the way it is, guess what many poor people eat more of?

What I can see happening is a rise in crime. You make people desperate, it will rise, and in some ways people don't really think about. You know the story about the lady in the fancy car and expensive close using food stamps? Guess what? The card she was using was more than likely not hers.

Back when I was on the street, people would come up to homeless and ask if they had food stamps. They would come around at the start of the month. They would offer half of the allotment in cash to use it all to buy food. I didn't bite because I didn't was to go to prison if caught, but many did it.

You will see more shoplifting, break-ins, gangs will be an issue even more so, and prostitution. And forget migraines, it will be grandma's selling drugs more and more.

And speaking of immigration, you will see more immigration out of the country. Why? Many won't be able to live here.

If this orange want to be tyrant is not stopped soon, my USA will be a very dark place to live.

But hey, that's just my two cents.

What GoT kinda forgot....

Found this on YouTube and thought it interesting. And I know there are a lot of fans here in the Lounge, thought to share it.
Warning, it is 21 minutes long.
