about 25% of people who make under $50,000 were cutting back on fast food
Only 25%? Who hasn't cut back, even if it's subconsciously?
I know it's just an anecdote, but my wife and I make a lot more than that and we've had to cut how often we get fast food because it's become way too expensive.
Shit, half the time we just get sit-down service because the cost isn't that much higher. Why would we get low quality fast food for $30 when we can go to a local sit-down restaurant and get higher quality food for $40, tip included?
Mexico is our second largest trading partner. Both Canada and Mexico are our closest allies. They provided aid to the US after 9/11 and Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey.
I'm not worried that this would start a war. I'm worried it would cause permanent tension between two friends.
