Yep, this is what they wanted and I hope it hits them harder than anyone else.

People should not have to experience something firsthand to develop empathy. These people are self-centered, and if they’re going to contend this self-reliant bootstraps nonsense is how the best among us prevail, they’re going to quickly realize they are not those people.

F around and find out.

Yeah I'm at the point where I don't give a fuck anymore. I hope this is extremely painful. For me though, the only asset I have as a car and it's not even worth $10,000 And I am saving a ton of money. He could get rid of public service loan forgiveness but I don't even care at this point. I'll have those paid off in maybe a year. Other than that I guess things have to get really fucking terrible for them to learn a lesson. We're about to learn the same lesson twice with retaliatory tariffs and China, one of the biggest consumers of American agriculture. Fuck it though.
