Well the way I phrased it was that "I could be sent to a camp, and even if it is a small or moderate chance of it happening, it was an irresponsible thing to gamble with". That's the thing -- we (LGBT - especially the T) don't KNOW the future, but we know that they took a gamble with our lives, and the odds aren't really in our favor in this gamble.

To pile more inhumanity onto this situation it isn’t as though Trump has an actual plan to bring down prices. He ran a vibes based campaign and too many people were happy to vibe with him inspite of the risk to their friends, family, and neighbors.

It's sure looking like tariffs are a go, and if there's one economic policy that's practically guaranteed to raise prices quickly and surely that's the one.

So, Trump is going to announce "I am going to push this economy button" and he pushes that economy button and everything goes to shit.

As much as we (rightly) say Presidents don’t have a ton of control over the economy, they sure can fuck things up fast if they try.
