And this is why, like, in, like, four fucking months, literally no one in the entire country's social security is actually going to show up because a 19-year-old grouper doesn't understand SQL because nobody in this fucking country gives a single shit about anyone who lives outside of the country enough to try to do a single goddamn word of analysis about how this is going to affect everyone.

Because the death of the global economy will be felt here. It is going to be felt so much fucking worse everywhere else on goddamn earth.

This has been me being unbelievably fucking angry because, like, I don't know.

A bunch of my family doesn't live in this country, which means I have to deal with the fact that, like, everyone else who lives in another country is a human being who's exactly the same as fucking we are. And this is a thing that nobody else appears to want to fucking deal with. I am losing my shit.

I didn't write a transition for this, but I will transition out of this by, again, going back to the fact that the reason this is going to be so bad is that the global economy is based on a combination of resource extraction and a combination of logistical supply lines that all rely on there not being 100% tariffs on goods imported to the U.S.,
