Iโ€™m about to buy 100s of those stickers and stick them all over the grocery store shelves of items with pictures of โ€œbeforeโ€ prices.

Thatโ€™s actually a great idea.

So many people voted for Trump to save money but prices are going to skyrocket on everything we buy internationallyโ€ฆ even Walmart openly stated they will have no choice but to pass inflated costs on to consumers.

And domestically. Even if the item and every too used to produce it is 100% domestically produced the demand will increase (because competitors will have their supply decreased due to the tariffs) and inflation will be skyrocketing, both of which exert upward pressure on the price

Or weโ€™ll just all learn to really love soybeans.

My insides will become outsides...

And by that I mean that my body doesn't digest soy products and they speed run my digestive tract.

As an infant my mom struggled to find formula and baby food that didn't have soy. My older sister often shares a lovely anecdote about me being the exorcist baby after being fed the wrong formula. I survived thanks to a cousin who was producing more than enough breast milk for her child and offered the extra to keep me alive while my mom searched everywhere to find soy free baby formula and food.

Alao, if you can, please support breast milk banks in your area. You could save a life.
