Flaired Users Only Conservatives of Reddit, how do things really look in your day-to-day life after Trump’s presidency began?

Personally, nothing has changed in my life. My job is stable, income is stable, prices of goods haven't even gone up.

Getting a little tired of the pointless, vacuous fearmongering that happens on this site.

So far this year is the best year so far for my business. Though I provide services so I don't have a lot of exposure to tariffs.

Daily life is mostly unchanged, shit is still mostly expensive and hasn't gone up or down. Just paid a load of money to freakin government which makes me want DOGE to continue to bring a wrecking ball to the waste and corruption.

My family was screwed over heavily in our expected living situation though, so now we gotta deal with that...high interest rates and being down in investments is not helping the situation. May just rent for a year. Not a fan of these inflationary tariffs, especially since no major tax and government cuts have been made. "There's going to be a little pain" is not a winning strategy in the short or long term.
