[00:18] IsambardPrince Dictatorships behave erratically and it is not good for business.
[00:18] IsambardPrince There's simply no reason to bother to arrest most immigrants, in fact they should get EAD cards because it's obvious that your 400 pound MAGA brother and his 68 year old MAGA mom are not going to hop to it and do roofing.
[00:18] IsambardPrince We used to put people like my brother on Maury Povich via satellite because they were too fat to even leave the house. What are they going to do? They've never done anything since high school.

[00:19] IsambardPrince If they could even learn roofing, they'd fall through the roof on their first day.
[00:20] IsambardPrince There's a bunch of these people out there that voted Trump even though they're too unhealthy to do much. The first thing that gets neglected when you're depressed and don't even care about life is your health.

[01:08] IsambardPrince That didn't take long. A 32 ounce can of coffee (Folgers) that was $12 yesterday at Walmart is now $16.47.

[01:11] IsambardPrince A can of Folgers coffee, roughly 2 pounds worth, that was just under $12 at Walmart yesterday, is $16.47 now.
[01:11] IsambardPrince It didn't even take them one day. Trump made an announcement and now coffee costs $2 a pound more than it did yesterday.
[01:11] IsambardPrince Meanwhile, the news is interviewing truck drivers that think the tariffs will help them, because they voted for Trump and are not economists, and are unwilling to admit they made a big goddamned mistake.
