Slash fired. Wow. Black Twitter was not having 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.760 it because it's a black, black female worker, you know, 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.440 in the morning, having her breakfast, minding her own business, 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.720 and this woman was like not having it. She's not white, 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.800 she's Jordaining an American, I've heard, but still the fact 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.680 that you would call someone out for the breakfast and 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.400 then it just went viral on Twitter and people were 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.760 really upset with Her name is Natasha Tynes. She runs 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.160 social media for the World Bank. You think people who 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.679 wow wow, Well no better. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.040 Yeah. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.200 She's also an author of a forthcoming novel, which is 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.960 one way to get publicity for your book. Except for 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.800 after all the controversy, the company that's distributing her book 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.360 said they were going to stop and then called on 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.440 her publisher to actually pull the book, like to pull 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.640 the book deal itself, so they are coming for her 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:11.920 coin and the Metro Authority actually responded to this controversy 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.440 and said that one this woman's part of a union, 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.040 and the union came out to bat for her and 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.480 explained that there's really have you ever been in a 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.200 subway station where the hell do you think they're going 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:21.919 to sit down and eat their breakfast or their lunch. 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.959 There's no break rooms like, and there's also mice everywhere 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.840 and insecticide, so there's not really sanitary conditions a lot 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.200 of the times. And this woman happened to be on 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.600 a delayed train trying to get to her next shift, 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.840 and in order to be on time, she stayed on 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.560 the train and just ate her breakfast, And so the 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.600 union came to bat for her, and then the actual 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.080 the Metro Transit authority said that they had recently the 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.280 police had recently asked people to stop filing complaints about 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.880 petty stuff like people eating on trains and you know, 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.320 evading fairs and stuff like that. So this was way 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.760 overblown and she she got dragged pretty bad. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.120 I mean, I don't know if she deserves to get 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.480 her book pulled and stuff like that, because cancel culture 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:05.600 sometimes can be too much. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.040 But I think, like, because. 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.520 Like, what what is the what is the desired outcome 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.320 you want this poor woman? I mean, she wasn't defecating 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.240 on the point on the train, you know what I mean? 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.400 Sometimes you have to ask yourself, like from where did this? 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.760 What did you want to happen to her? Did you 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.520 want this woman who was eating to be fired? What 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:24.640 kind of life are you living? 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.880 That that is your aim? Why do you care? 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.320 She wasn't smearing food all over the place, like clearly, 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.240 like you know, any common sense human being is like, huh, 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.480 she works here. She's clearly working here on the train. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.920 So my assumption is this is the I mean nobody 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.120 willingly says, mmmm, I would love to eat on this 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.960 potentially disgusting Germany train, You know what I mean? I 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.680 just well, but you're you're gonna learn today. You're gonna 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.240 learn today. I guess she learned. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.320 And well, it was the fact that she was basically 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.280 calling on the Metro, the DC Metro, to fire this person. 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.480 And that's just her and you're messing with the black 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.120 woman's livelihood. And I think, you know, do I think 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.400 that this the action is for to lose her book, 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.400 deal with that, teach her a lesson? No, I feel 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.400 like the bigger lesson is for her getting dragged on 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.760 Twitter and being corrected, you know, and why why it's 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.840 wrong for her to call someone out like that. I mean, 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.200 first of all, who who's even awake in the morning, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.039 like trying like worry the black The workers response to 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.480 the woman when she talked to her and was like 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.240 calling her out at the moment for eating on the train. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.919 The woman apparently told her worry about yourself, which is 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.600 exactly what she should have been doing. Yes, worried about 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:29.000 your dance. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:30.160 Worry about yourself. 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.159 It's not a little video about the about the little 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.240 girl by She's literally like three, right, and she's trying to. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:37.840 Buck on her own little seapet and her mom's like, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.960 she said, no, let me alone. Worry about yourself. So 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.120 take take a tip from the three year old. Worry 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.919 about yourself about you. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:49.560 Wow, Well Natasha has learned a lesson. You know, my 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.440 biggest fear is tweeting something and getting fired.

I've I've actually just 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.800 pulled back on how much I tweet because I it 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.520 is so easy to just like and especially if you 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.200 get addicted to the instant gratification of people liking and 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.359 retweeting you, you just want to like please them, and 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.440 you want to write things that are witty and funny 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.200 and you know, off the cuff and whatever, and you 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.280 get addicted to that and then sure enough you're gonna 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.960 tweet something stupid or inappropriate or insensitive, and then it's 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.719 out there in the world and you can even delete 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.360 it like this woman did, but people still can grab screenshots. 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:29.400 Yeah, and also too, Like the thing is, here's the thing, like, yeah, 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.960 I don't believe in posting people I don't know on 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:32.719 social media. 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.080 I just think that's so harmful, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.120 you know, like it's one thing that. 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.719 Like I'm taking as healthy and you happen to walk 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.080 behind me, but to take a picture of you to 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.760 shame you.

I don't even do that because 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:03.240 you don't know who someone is, and you know, maybe 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.240 they have someone who's looking for them, that's looking to 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:05.720 harm them. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.400 I just think that that's what you get, honestly. 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.719 And I mean, we're gonna gonna learn today. I know 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.320 she's home, like, wait, you know, when I was a kid, 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.200 I'm not gonna lie. I was a big tattletale right 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.520 when I was like in kindergarten and in first grade. 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:18.960 I could not understand why. 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.880 I would go and tell the teacher and she would say, Tiffany, 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.200 nobody likes the tattletale I thought I. 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.560 Was doing my civic duty. I was like, but and 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.520 I didn't really understand. You know. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.080 It's I got a little bit older and I realized that, like, 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:38.080 you're like one the teachers, like, okay, so Johnnye touched 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.760 the blue ball, It's fine, Like, girl, it's not the 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.719 end of the world, first of all. And two it's like, 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.039 it's not your business unless someone's really getting hurt or 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.320 something like that. And so it's like, this woman never 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.120 got that kindergarten first grade lesson of don't be a tattletale. 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.400 Nobody likes the tattletale, and now black Twitter had to 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.240 remind you, so, okay. 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.479 Another another social media failed this week? Did you about 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.120 so the actress from Fresh off the Boat, Constance Wu. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.680 She is getting all kinds of insane press right now 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.159 because so Fresh off the Boat is was one of 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.960 the first in a long long time sitcoms to feature 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.600 a majority Asian American cast. So it was a huge 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.480 show for I forget which network it's on, but it's 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.560 been on for I think like four or five seasons now, 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.720 and it was just renewed for its six season. You know, 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.680 with sitcoms, there's like dozens of episodes, and it takes 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.400 up an actor's you know, most of the year for 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.240 them to film the sitcom. But they're also incredibly lucrative 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.280 and if you're on a sitcom that gets syndicated, you 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.520 just make money on money on money forever. But anyway, 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.920 Constance started to she send out some tweets with like 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.640 some swear words in them, saying how upset she was 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.040 that her show was renewed because she's been unable to 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:52.240 take a project that really fulfilled her artistic, you know, passions, 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.080 and she thought that was fine to share with the 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:59.080 world of working people who follow her, and immediately got 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.960 dragged for being insensitive to the crew that works on 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.960 her show, like the blue collar workers working on her show, 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.520 her other cast, like being ungrateful for the show that 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.600 launched her career. You know, she did a she she 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.000 starred in Crazy Rich Asians, which was that big movie 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.080 when was that last summer that came out, romantic comedy 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.640 with an all Asian cast, you know, so she's kind 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.080 of got the show to be thankful for the career 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.040 as a you know actor that she has, and that 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:31.040 was how she responded. So Baby Girl also got dragged. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:37.240 Just don't tweet, just get a diary. 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.920 Like I guess you know, I'm not here to judge 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.280 because I'm like, god forbid, I'm not gonna lie. I've 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.959 seen people that I know get dragged basically, and I've 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.000 gone through my Twitter and then I was like girl, 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:46.760 after like you know, twelve pages of scrolling, I'm like, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.080 I can't do this. But I think to myself, like, 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.560 have I ever tweeted or face mood or Facebook or 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.040 Instagram something problematic. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:57.800 There was only two times that I said I got 0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:58.520 dragged on ig. 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.000 Once was I said I had a like a sign 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.160 it said co sign and the head a line through it, 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.079 and I was like, don't co sign. Co signing is 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.040 really a good idea, and that you know that you 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:12.760 I don't think people understand you have to take full 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:16.240 responsibility for that person's loan. Surprisingly, I mean like, of 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:17.960 course a lot of people were like yeah, but people were. 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:18.360 Mad at that. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:25.360 I was like, okay, you're mad because co signing leaves you, 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:25.640 you know. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:26.720 Financially responsible. 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.760 I was surprised people were like, well, some of us 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.440 can't get a car, we don't get a co signer. 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.319 I'm like ma'am. That is the point. That is the point. 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.199 I mean, you know, I mean I understand that some 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.080 folks need co signers because they're like, I'm not able 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.520 to but that what I'm saying is the fact that 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.280 you need one is puts the other person in financial 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.120 harms way because what it really means is that you 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.600 really can't afford the thing that you're getting, and it's 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.280 likely that person's going to have to pay for it 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.560 for you, and so, and I said, it's really a 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.079 good idea and not never ever ever, because I know 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.800 there's some extranuiny circumstances. But I remember that was one 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.640 time I kind of got dragged it. People were like 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:02.839 this is irresponsible. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.880 I'm like what they were just mad because like they're 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.320 antier their uncle whoever they were gonna ask for Bunny 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.880 probably fine and not helping my case. 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.319 I know. I was like, so I was APPRISTI but 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:15.520 I kept it up because I was like, I didn't 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.720 say anything offensive, I said, you know, I kept it up. 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.000 I was like, well, I understand you being upset because 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.679 maybe your dad co signed you for you ten years 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.480 ago in to work down because I'm not gonna lie 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.720 Superman asked me to co sign or we were dating, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.440 and I said no, he was mad and guess what. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.079 I was like, okay, the answer was still now. So 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.480 he got over it and so will people. And then 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.000 second thing I posted it wasn't me. I didn't reveally 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.760 get dragged for it, but it was like this like 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.640 this picture of, like I guess, a woman. It was 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.559 like a like a meme of like a silhouette of 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.520 a woman stages of pregnancy like one month, two months, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.640 all the way to you know, nine months. And it 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.280 was like, it's when, when is it ever good great 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:53.720 to ask a woman if she's pregnant? 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.880 And it was like none of these times, you know, yep, and. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:02.880 So you know, and so they were just like, you know, yeah, yeah, 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.440 well not dragged, but people were like I just said. 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.080 You just don't know what people are going through, you 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:09.440 know when, and so just. 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.560 To not I mean, I get it, you know, because 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.520 I mean, I mean, who's not not curious when you 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.280 see a woman's beeny like, oh, she's pregnant. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:16.000 I get it. 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.160 But so many times that people are going through something 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.360 and it can be really difficult. I had a miscarriage, 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.400 like a two years ago, and I remember on social 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.520 media everyone was like, ooh girl, I see you. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.680 I know he's pregnant, and he's pregnant. I was like, actually, no, 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.000 the baby died, but thanks, and I get it. 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.440 I mean, no one was asking maliciously and that wasn't 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.319 what it was about. But it was just every I mean, 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.559 so many people were like, I know you're pregnant. I 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.880 see I know, and I'm like, oh my. I literally 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.800 had to just like log off because it was like, 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.080 oh my gosh, like I'm not pregnant anymore, like you know, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.800 so I just you know. So I wasn't dragged for that, 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.559 but definitely a lot of people were like, I think 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:58.160 that's unfair. Someone actually said in that post like something like, well, 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.800 my mother told me that if I'm curre is to ask. 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:09.160 I'm like, it's about being empathetic and not judging people, 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.199 like I think I'll teach my future kids that to 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:11.800 not judge. 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.920 And you never know what's going on in Smiles's lives 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.520 before you snap that photo, you know, tweet about them. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.320 They could make a mean tweet about them. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:19.479 You ask questions. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.880 Exactly, your maness is not worth it. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.400 It's not I mean, and just think about like, you know, 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.000 I always think about when I post. You know, I 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.840 have never had to post something that I won't say never, 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.600 I mean not not that I can remember that I 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.600 have to like, oh, I should remove this because this 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.160 is really like crazy. Like I said, you know the 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:41.640 coatsne if you think people are mad, I'm not, but 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.480 they could stay mad because I wasn't wrong and I 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.560 wasn't being judgmental. I was trying to be helpful and 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:51.319 so but I just think that sometimes we post without thinking. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.320 But I don't know what Constant was thinking. I mean 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:57.440 when when what what? Like universe would that be? Okay? 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.199 I think we're gonna feel sorry for you. Do you 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.839 want sympathy? Honey? Boo boo? 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:02.200 Child? 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.520 Like you have to think about how people will perceive 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.280 that you are a wealthy person and in a career 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.920 that is very glamorous, you know, making tons of money, 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.640 and to complain about the fact that you have a 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.200 job when it was also like this is so terrible. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.800 It's also the week when all the other shows get canceled, 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.280 and you know, you see all these headlines of all 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.120 these shows that get canceled, and then she's out here 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:25.920 complaining about hers being renewed. So yikes, she's got She's 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.360 like deleted the tweet some of the tweets and has 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:29.120 gone under cover. 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.880 But she yeah, she's gonna go on set now. They're 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:32.800 gonna look at her life. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:37.520 Right too, Like come on. So that is your your 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.200 entertainment news. One last thing though, that people are probably 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.439 wondering about. We're talking about China trade war. Ug in. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.400 I thought this had kind of died down, but Trump 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.240 and China just can't get along, mister master negotiator. Just 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.080 all we keep doing is increasing taxes on Chinese products, 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.920 and they're increasing taxes on our stuff in turn. And 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.000 if you're wondering, like what impact this has on you, 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.280 there's a report that came out because we're talking about 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.600 like so much of your stuff, all those appliances, Tiffany 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.480 that you just bought, China probably produce them. And I 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.520 think washing machines are one of the products that, like 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.080 the big manufacturers of household appliances have been rolling in 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.640 cash because the extra tariffs that China has imposed on 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.360 those products has has led to price increases that have 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.840 helped them out but then gotten passed down to consumers. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:32.400 But this new report says that increasing taxes or tariffs 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.280 on Chinese goods would cost a US family of for 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.880 almost eight hundred dollars a year and could lead to 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.440 nearly a million jobs being lost. And that list of 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.600 appliances that could be impacted by these increased tariffs like 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.840 air conditioners. I mentioned, appliances including refrigerators, parts that go 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:56.600 into cars, bicycles, clothing, I means like everything, cosmetics, electronics, 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:02.480 even some foods, furniture, hand oh my god, home improvement items. Yeah, 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.200 Enrique is gonna love that. And it may be things 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.240 that you don't notice and maybe like a dollar here, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.720 five dollars there, or you know, eighty bucks that we're 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.640 talking about a big appliance. But these types of like 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.320 it may sound like very abstract, you know, China US 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.080 trade war, but it's really hitting our wallets now. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:21.400 Yeah. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.560 I remember, even when I was getting my cabinets, the 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.960 guy was like, Okay, so at any moment, you know, 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.040 they're going to send me a facts or whatever saying 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.320 that you know that there is the price has increased 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.600 because of increased taxes on what we're ordering. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.120 So he was like, so as soon as. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:39.560 You know what you want, let me know. I remember 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:40.960 that was like a very real thing. As I was 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.400 like deciding what to get. You know that at any 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.520 moment it could go up significantly, and so you know, 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:50.480 it's it affects everyone, whether you're renovating, whether you're just 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.920 getting your carpex. So you know that's like I mean 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.880 to quote the great Rodney King. Can't we all just 0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:58.400 get along? 0:15:59.760 --> 0:15:59.840 Ye? 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:06.000 Not today? Not today apparently, so uh think about that.
