I wrote: [05:00] IsambardPrince "I doubt we'll see too many shortages of staple goods, more like a glut because people give up buying things that have gone up too much in price. [05:00] IsambardPrince For example, certain nuts will go up over 40%. So people will switch to less expensive nuts or just not buy nuts. [05:00] IsambardPrince Cars of the next couple model years, they may have to offset the tariffs by incentivizing people to even buy one. [05:00] IsambardPrince So there's this thing, right, some car makers were on the verge of collapse or the whole damned thing was made in some other country. Tariffs take them out. [05:00] IsambardPrince People have to start tamping down their spending, new car is probably low on the priority list. Some OEMs spent so many years raising profit margins that they may decide to lower the margin somewhat to keep sales going at all. [05:00] IsambardPrince It will definitely have an inflationary effect, but the result will be a dead economy where people buy less and many become unemployed, and I believe we'll see more of that than shortages, so I'm not in a rush to just go out buying shit. [05:00] IsambardPrince I read the other day about a guy who used it as an excuse to buy four new iPhones, a $2500 laptop, and a big screen TV. LOL [05:00] IsambardPrince Yeah, good luck eating that. [05:00] IsambardPrince Daily Kos mentioned that with the price of laptops expected to rise and the EOL for Windows 10, people might put Linux on them and keep using them for several more years. That makes more sense economically than going out to dump $2500 ahead of an inflationary recession. [05:00] IsambardPrince If the whole thing breaks down and prices have gone through the roof, order a Raspberry Pi 5 and install Linux on an SD card. The tariff will be about $10 instead of potentially $300-1000 on a PC or a Mac, just the tariff. [05:00] IsambardPrince Going back to cars, imagine all the bankruptcy repo cars that will hit the lots because the tariffs pushed them over the edge or they lost their job because of Trump. Used prices may slump a lot. [05:00] IsambardPrince People will be pawning everything. Stereos, laptops, TVs. You can just go buy used. [05:00] IsambardPrince The economy is normally so good about overproducing junk that you can feast on the stuff that was already in the system that desperate people lost. I know it sounds macabre, but don't spend your money now, don't go into debt, don't get three closets of toilet paper." [05:01] schestowitz[TR2] i bought 500 coffee filters yesterday [05:02] schestowitz[TR2] mellita [05:02] schestowitz[TR2] this should last years [05:02] schestowitz[TR2] they don't spoil, they're like paper [05:02] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I use the Amazon Basics. I'm switching to cheaper products. [05:02] IsambardPrince I picked up a dozen Amazon Basics water filters arriving tomorrow. [05:03] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I have a few pitchers. Between two adults and three cats, we can use 3 filters in two months. [05:03] IsambardPrince So a difference of $2.50 each v. Brita adds up. [05:04] IsambardPrince People were reviewing them well. They seem to meet about the same standard. [05:04] nobody what would you need those water filters for? [05:05] nobody if water is chlorinated, it should be boiled [05:05] nobody if water salinity is too strong, some cheapo brita filter won't remove that [05:08] nobody the activated carbon got limited capacity to filtrate water, and inside an aquarium water cycles several times through it [05:09] nobody the contained ion-exchange resin is very little [05:09] IsambardPrince Activated carbon has a pretty big surface area. [05:09] IsambardPrince Each filter is good for about 40 gallons. [05:09] nobody sure, but limited capacity [05:10] IsambardPrince It's better than MARISOL's truck water. [05:10] IsambardPrince Ask schestowitz[TR2] :) [05:10] nobody and, the carbon accumulates bacteria [05:10] IsambardPrince They have silver in the filter media to control microbe growth. [05:10] IsambardPrince But you do want to throw that filter out after 40 gallons or two months. [05:10] nobody if you need 40 gallons only, a reverse osmosis installation would be much more economical [05:11] nobody although drinking water from the tap should be boiled, to remove chlorine and bacteria [05:12] IsambardPrince Boil isn't needed unless something bad happens.

[09:15] schestowitz[TR2] it's because they test patience [09:15] IsambardPrince Deportation proceedings as spam? [09:15] schestowitz[TR2] they want people to become their own enforcers [09:15] schestowitz[TR2] it's cheaper than booking some military flight for deportation express [09:15] IsambardPrince So you fight back and the court closes it and the government doesn't even file anything? [09:16] schestowitz[TR2] no iddea [09:16] schestowitz[TR2] we are leavbing now anyway, coffee in the sun [09:16] schestowitz[TR2] it's like summer this mmonth [09:16] IsambardPrince The court can grant a number of remedies, including an administrative closure, where the government could file it again. [09:16] IsambardPrince Or a protection from removal.

[09:17] IsambardPrince Someone in Illinois sued a city recently. [09:18] schestowitz[TR2] i phoned the police last month [09:18] schestowitz[TR2] several times [09:18] IsambardPrince The crime free ordinance said if you call 911 too many times your landlord must evict. [09:18] schestowitz[TR2] in 2022 the attacks on us got really bad [09:18] IsambardPrince It does not matter if you actually committed a crime or were reporting one. [09:18] IsambardPrince So they lost $250,000 because of causing her to be evicted. [09:18] *admfubar has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [09:18] IsambardPrince Then the city changed the ordinance to say you only get evicted if you're the criminal. [09:18] IsambardPrince Like, WTF. [09:18] IsambardPrince Evicted for reporting too many things to the police? [09:19] IsambardPrince When they said report crims by calling 911? [09:19] schestowitz[TR2] depends [09:19] schestowitz[TR2] if they are all false [09:19] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], No, they were true. [09:19] schestowitz[TR2] 911 is emergency [09:19] schestowitz[TR2] not all reports are time-critical [09:19] IsambardPrince They just counted how many times she called them,. [09:19] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], The police here say call 911 whenever you need to talk to the police. [09:19] IsambardPrince I use their non-emergency number though. [09:20] schestowitz[TR2] they raank and weed out bwad reports [09:20] IsambardPrince I don't know if there's a crime-free ordinance, but one of the former aldermen said he "worked with landlords" to "evict tenants" for gang affiliations, but not convictions. [09:20] schestowitz[TR2] they have tiiers [09:20] IsambardPrince Just he accused them and pressured the landlord.
