    A coworker of mine was dangerously close to connecting some of the dots yesterday.

    He started complaining about how things are getting more expensive, and how the company we work for has started buying things from overseas because even with tariffs it’s cheaper than buying American made, and then came the stunning part.

    He said “They say they have to raise prices because of terrorists or some shit, but how do WE know if that’s true? How do we know there ARE any terrorists and it’s not just all bullshit made up by politicians and the news to justify raising prices so they can get rich.”

    And then he took a hard right turn and added that “all those goddamn r****d democrats in congress” are to blame.

    So close.
