Trump policies spur economic anxiety in US Republican heartland: 'Tariffs are affecting everything'

🤔 I think its kinda interesting how folks around here are worried about tariffs & stuff... it makes me think that sometimes we just gotta take a step back, breathe, and remember that change is never easy 🌪️. It's natural to feel anxious when things don't go as planned, but it's cool how some people like Robert Linder are looking on the bright side... it shows us that even in uncertainty, we can choose to see opportunities 💡. But what I think is super important right now is listening to those who are worried & having open conversations 🗣️ - Amy Wrights story about organizing protests is a great example of that 👏.
 
I'm totally freaking out about this 🤯... I mean, can't we just have some consistency with our design elements? 😩 Okay, focus... so, it's like, these big companies are moving to small towns and bringing jobs, but then Trump's policies come along and it's all uncertain. It's not just the jobs that are a worry, it's the impact on the local economy, right? 📊 And it's not just one town, it's multiple states with similar issues... it's like, how do we even layout a plan for this?! 🗺️ The numbers are crazy - $9.5 billion and hundreds of thousands of engines... it's mind-blowing! 💥 But what really gets me is the impact on rural communities, where factory work makes up a huge chunk of the local economy... it's like, how do we even create a structure for this?! 🤯
 
🤕 The whole situation with those factories is super worrying 🚨. I mean, it's like one day they're gonna make all that money from selling electric cars and the next thing you know, the tariffs are causing them to lose a bunch of cash 💸. And what about all the people who lost their jobs? They gotta move away or something 🤦‍♀️. The worst part is, I heard Toyota is leaving some of its suppliers behind because they can't afford the higher prices 🤑. It's like, what even is going on?
