    Ok, but then I’m just gonna give your car a little kick so you know you’re hurting my ears.

    Kidding, but yeah it can be really annoying, and also many drivers don’t blip their horn like you’re saying, and instead give a full honk. Anybody walking nearby gets an earache, and anybody living or shopping nearby has to deal with the noisy environment created. Probably better to just flash your highbeams or be more patient. The horn is not meant to police other drivers or signal noncritical information, you don’t see people honking every time someone is texting while driving, or driving with their lights off.

    Real talk, don’t honk unless there is a danger of crashing.

    Yes, the driver in front of you should not have their phone out. No, that does not give you the right to take your rage out on everyone in the surrounding neighborhood because you’re mad about having to wait 10 seconds to start driving again.

    Don’t drive into a city and act like you have the right to be as loud as you want.















  • Some industries are saying they are completely unviable around 40-60%. See the recent Gamers Nexus video about the computer hardware industry.

    Some companies can survive 10-30% by cutting margins and passing to the consumer, but there are entire classes of product where demand will just evaporate if you raise prices 20-30%, especially budget and value products.

    It’s impossible to reshore manufacturing to stop this too. Every single economist is saying that there is a 0% chance that the way Trump has weaponized tariffs will cause any meaningful production in the US. The only outcome from this is empty shelves and stagflation.
