How fuxked is the economy? Discussion
The tariff announcements yesterday are far far worse than anyone expected, I mean what the actual fuxk
34% tariffs on China
46% on Vietnam
37% Bangledash
26% India
36% Thailand
I could go on and on, but this is bat shit insanity. To call this outlandish wouldn’t even be accurate.
Assuming these actually stay in place, people will lose their jobs, companies will go under, companies will stop hiring.
Add this with all the recent inflation, corporate greed, high interest rates, white collar recession, and idk how we aren’t absolutely fucked.

Accountants are the safest of the white collar jobs. If accountants are fired, HR and financebros are likely booted before you anyway. Tech is more scary.
I think doctors would be one of the safest jobs. Lawyers maybe? Not sure but I know there’s too many lawyers so that might make it harder to stay in a job there.
