    In case you are seriously asking this is from Wikipedia.

    Intended to bolster domestic employment and manufacturing, the tariffs instead deepened the Depression because the U.S.'s trading partners retaliated with tariffs of their own, leading to U.S. exports and global trade plummeting. Economists and historians widely regard the act as a policy misstep, and it remains a cautionary example of protectionist policy in modern economic debates.

    Soooo much much worse.







  • The price things gets me too. I was actually talking about this with a coworker a couple months ago. I live alone so I’m not doing nearly the amount of laundry that some people are doing but even then that last bottle of laundry detergent I bought cost me like 9 bucks and took a bit over 2 years to go through. I think I’m fine spending 4.50 a year on my laundry supplies.
