Take care of yourself and your family.

• Ask family members how they’re doing and what they’re worried about. Kids have some big fears, and bullying has already started.
• Come together, don’t let folks isolate. Invite friends over.
• Cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable; in this case, what we saw before the election and the outcome don’t match. You’re not crazy.

Get your house in order.

• It’s going to be about proving yourself over and over again.
• Make sure you have IDs and passports for everyone, if possible.
• Many government services will likely be disrupted or dismantled – disability, special needs, subsidized housing, SNAP, and more. What’s your Plan B?
• Get your financial life figured out. Money is going to get weird.

Consider making large purchases that will get a tariff.

• President Trump has said he plans to impose a blanket tariff of 10% to 20% on all imports and additional tariffs of 60% to 100% on goods brought in from China. 
• Appliances, cars, small construction.
• Large construction, energy, and shipping will likely be walloped.

NO! Turns out this was NOT what we were doing. Wear a blue bracelet and show you care.

• It starts with women, but we need friendly men as well.
