    I know everyone’s jumping on this, but Trump yelling “EAT THE TARIFFS”, in addition to being meaningless, is also quite in-line with the neolib/neoconservative presumption that companies will do the right thing for people.

    Bernie’s platform of Medicare for All, a $15 living wage, covering eye care and dental under Medicare… those all would be written into law. Encouraging Walmart to eat the tariffs is like trusting a corpo to pay workers a living wage.
