The first email of my day was sent to our head of HR asking what their hiring projections were for the next 6 months-1 year (usually I just get 1-2 months advanced notice) so I can shore up our tech stock

No, my company mostly voted for this so they can relish it.

Personally though I am tryna cop a GPU right now before more are imported. But I still can't afford the good AMDs so maybe a fucken Battlemage idk

Ha yea, I thought about doing the same, but didn't want to catch flack for not "projecting trends" or whatever. But whenever I'm asked "Why do you need more money" or "Why are you doubling stock" all my answers center around "Well due to the Trump administration trade policies/tariffs...." and that usually stops the line of questioning dead in its tracks LMAO

They know and they don't want to face the harsh realities of what they voted for lolol

I'm holding that line tight in its holster for when all my IT costs quadruple. Think laptops and docking stations are expensive now? Oh what the future holds. Its worse than they know.

I’m holding off on major home improvements in case they cancel elections for good in 2026 and I have to flee the Turd Reich to a free country.

I'm holding off major home improvements because I can't afford to do them at the moment. 🤷‍♂️

Yep. New kitchen machine will be Kenwood (UK) instead of Kitchen Aid (US).

Can you get an Akrarsrum or do you have to pay the Brexit tax?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

I actually don't like Ankarsrum. They never made it to my finals.

There are tens of us, tens!

Love my Ankarsrum ❤️
