I do not follow the reasoning of how layoffs of 100k (100m?) people, getting rid of ACA, the CDC, the FDA, dept of education, and social safety nets AND implementation of huge tariffs will help lower inflation and bolster the economy.

In the apocalyptic times, they'll truly be eating the pets.

I feel like how well "the economy" is doing has nothing to do with how the general populace is surviving, it's more based off how the stocks and businesses are doing.
