I suppose the #tariffs will be the death knell for a lot of the #hobbies that still struggled on.
How many crafters, model builders, electronics enthusiasts, etc-- and their ecosystems of niche vendors-- were able to keep operating because of cheap foreign parts and de-minimus imports?
I guess we'll still have Screen. Everything is Screen now. Some day you'll be able to tell your federally-mandated grandkids that people used to build non-Minecraft things in their free time.

Let's call it. This is the Trump regime's goal. They work for our enemies. Nothing else explains everything they're doing: shutting down counter-intelligence; wrecking alliances; breaking trade treaties; destabilizing the dollar.... I mean wake up folks.

All the time. Everywhere.

Latest casualty of Trump’s tariffs: the #GameDad.
Out and about today in California, and came across this <chef’s kiss> metaphor for the U.S. right now. Couldn’t be more apt if it tried.
