Yeah we're stocking up on everything we can now, so we can tighten our belts and hopefully save some money over the next few years, but also not directly give the oligarchs any more of our money. I've been researching local and woman owned businesses that I'd like to support for the necessities, and thankfully our grocery store is a local chain. I have a friend who is offering to make basic clothing, including underwear, in exchange for childcare, eggs, and produce. People around here are going to get creative and it's actually giving me some hope that things won't be as bad as we think.

I’ll suffer more, but I can take more of a financial hit. Really I’m getting the political equivalent to a groin shot. It’s not fair, it’s not cool, and it should be off limits. I should get to be comfortable keeping my assets stateside.
I have non-blood relatives with family in Ukraine. For now.
I have others with mounting medical debt that is as dangerous as the cancers.
I know victims of SA that are sure it won't happen to any of their family or friends.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope this is the wrongest I've ever been.
We're all set to suffer for the foreseeable future, but no one suffers more from conservative policy than poor, rural conservatives.
I, for one, will absolutely enjoy watching them suffer. They deserve it.

That's a nice fiction, but they're already so cut out of the fruits of the economy that its dubious at best.
The folks who suffer on net will be middle class professionals who see their economic floor drop out from under them. They'll be forced into living like poor, rural conservatives as prices skyrocket and disposable income dries up.

You won't watch them suffer. You'll watch "Lifestyles of the Crypto Billionaire" on one channel and "Bum Fights: Disenfranchised Minority Edition" on the other because that's what the folks enriching themselves in the Trump economy want to show people.
While guns, which are manufactured in the US will stay the same price...coffee and chocolate will go up a lot.
So there are going to be some edgy people with access to firearms.
Stay safe next year.
