The truth is: most elites will never truly understand the suffering of the poor.

But thanks to Trump’s toddler-tier tariffs? Canceled. Blocked by MAGA economic illiteracy.

America isn’t just stressed—it’s structurally engineered to keep people stressed.
And that stress isn’t a side effect. It’s the system working as designed.
