    Ngl, I had to google La Brea Carpets to fully get the joke. I knew of the Los Angeles La Brea tar pits, but the fact there’s a famous carpet store called Lawrence of La Brea Carpets makes the pun even better.

    Edit: nevermind, the La Brea carpet store(s) seemingly came slightly later, unless there were some around that area in LA in 1990 that no longer exist haha









  • I mean, I think Nintendo is a shitty, awful, greedy corporation, but this is just the tip of the iceberg for how tariffs will effect consumers. It’s bad for the economy and the GOP are a bunch of fucking morons for letting their prophet get to this stage.

    And yes, I know all the chums will pipe in that their strategy is for all the billionaires to swoop in and buy up everything cheaply. But that’s very short sighted, as this type of bullshit is causing long-term damage to the US’s soft power and influence. Our allies and trading partners are literally forging new agreements without us, meaning even once the tariffs are over, things are not just going to magically go back to normal, if they ever even do.
