Nobody talks about how the tariffs or the blockade hits differently when you’re already at the margin. When you have $400 left after bills and the price of everything just went up 10–20%, that’s not an inconvenience. That’s the difference between building something and falling behind. The wealthy hedge with real assets. They buy land, commodities, and hard assets that go UP when the dollar goes down. The rest of us watch our savings shrink in real time. The game doesn’t pause for the people who need the break most.
