Some areas will be hit with a double whammy: Unemployed due to Trump playing tariff roulette, and then no social security.
One has to give it to Canada, China, and the EU: They know where it hurts.

title butchers any meaning the article is attempting to convey
crab mentality is strong in the United States here of late with voters blaming each other for the destruction of the country when the ones that truly fund and run the country are the perpetrators that have Trump on a leash doing their bidding
only way out when civil disobedience, protests, and voting do not work is for us serfs to revolt
We must assuredly 'all hang together', or assuredly we shall all hang separately.
You're correct. This is idiotic to think that un-tariffed spots will be left alone. Sorry, gang. We're all paying for this idiocy.
Indeed, although I will concede, that the tariffs are designed to hit some areas more directly, and others more indirectly. But this will impact the economy as a whole, with financial capital most likely in the best position to gain (by potentially buying up assets from other sectors for cheap when they fail).
It hurts itself in its confusion
While the measures are targeted at the right locations, everyone will be affected. Poultry in the unaffected areas will still be as expensive as in the targeted locations. Car prices will go up nationally. Lumber will go up everywhere.
Good job, Trumpers. You did it. You managed to own the Libs. Hope it was worth it.
Yes, but so long as the south burns hottest, I am more than willing to accept a tan.
This has been overdue since reconstruction ended early.
Democrat support for CR to keep government open, included Congress forbidding itself from its power to 2nd guess "national emergencies" or trade actions. So, maybe all Americans are supportive of getting faces eaten.
That's a lot of words to say "I don't understand two party systems"
Isn't it just pretty much this map
That matches the hue, but the added dimension is the saturation. Counties in brighter colors are more impacted by retaliatory tariffs, while duller colors are less impacted. The point is to illustrate that a higher proportion of impacted counties voted for Trump than if the impact were spread evenly, though the effect is not that pronounced. Statistically, people working in different industries tend to vote one direction or the other compared to average, but there are still both Harris and Trump voters in every industry.
Interesting.
Fuck nyt
Loyal MAGAtards will fully believe it only hurts this much because Biden did such horrible damage, which their Lord and Savior is now trying to repair. "Thank God we got Trump back before it was too late!"
Sure, rural areas with fewer employers and less diverse economies will have trouble adapting, but at least all the programs that help people through hard times are getting defunded and shut down.
