How will Tariffs effect the Historical Costume Community?

How will Tariffs effect the Historical Costume Community?

Maybe it was divine inspiration that I chose the summer of 2025 to semi-retire, because textiles are about to increase, ya'll! - so are avocados, strawberries, and fruits and vegetables from Mexico; electronics (from China) - like your cell phones and computers, televisions. But it doesn't stop there: building supplies, car parts, clothing, toys, medical supplies, medications, and much, much more is about to increase!

Why?

Because of Trump's brilliant economic plan to implement tariffs on countries like China, Mexico, and Canada on "Day one," to quote him directly.

Yes, that was sarcasm. For those who haven't been following the dire warnings economists worldwide and in America were shouting to the rooftops, i.e., that tariffs will cause economic disaster for many companies in the USA, and you still think the cost of gas and eggs and groceries are going to decrease in the Trump administration, boy oh boy are ya'll gonna have a huge awakening come January 20, 2025.

The way tariffs work is like this: American companies, who purchase goods outside of America, "are the ones who pay the tariffs" - NOT the companies sending goods to America for American consumers to buy. American companies will be paying MORE to import goods from other companies, and that increase will be passed on to the American people. These large corporations, who have already been recording record breaking profits since 2020, will use Trump’s tariffs as an excuse to raise their prices even more! – because there are no regulations on what they can charge the public. ALSO, they will be receiving more tax cuts, while the rest of us, especially the middle class who already carry the burden of the majority of the taxes in the USA, will see an increase in our taxes. These tariffs will cost us an additional $2500 a year per household. That doesn't sound like much, but it adds up, especially for many who are already barely scraping by - myself included.

How will these tariffs impact the historical costume community specifically?

While Mexico, China and Canada are our top exports (places we buy from), the following countries are ALSO popular sources that USA consumers import textiles and clothing:

Vietnam

India

Bangladesh

Indonesia

Honduras

The majority of fine woolen textiles are exported from the UK. The cost of wool will also be affected, with costs going up from 10 to 20%. Maybe that doesn’t sound like much, but when you’re already paying $30 to $40 (and more) a yard for a good wool product an additional $3 to $6 per yard will carry a punch on my client’s budgets.

Companies like Silk Baron, who import silk fabrics in bulk from places like India, will have to increase their prices by a minimum of 20%. The price of silk is already $20 to $30 or more a yard through Silk Baron, and we can expect their prices to increase to $22 to $24, or $33 to $36 a yard.

Fabric-Store.com, used to only charge $12 a yard for linen, but beginning in 2020 they have raised their prices every year and are now charging $18 a yard. The impacts of tariffs will only increase these costs.

Trump’s tariffs on China will raise prices by 60%, and 10 to 20% to other countries who import goods to the USA. Tariffs impact consumers, NOT the companies who produce the products and ship them to American businesses.

Walmart and Lowes have already rung a warning nell that their prices are about to increase. According to an article by Reuters, a Walmart spokesperson stated, “We're concerned that significantly increased tariffs could lead to increased costs for our customers at a time when they are still feeling the remnants of inflation"…"Trump has vowed to make tariffs, which are a fraction of U.S. tax collections, central to his economic agenda. Executives have been increasingly fielding questions on the subject, with many noting ongoing efforts to continue to diversify their supply chains, particularly away from China, Trump's top target.”

Additionally, the CFO of Lowe’s, Brandon Silk, said: "Roughly 40% of our cost of goods sold are sourced outside of the U.S., and that includes both direct imports and national brands through our vendor partners"…"And as we look at the potential impacts (of tariffs), it certainly would add to product costs." These tariffs will impact the cost of appliances and building supplies, which means the cost of new construction will increase.

Grocery stores, who were already price gouging consumers since the pandemic, are beginning to raise their prices. By the way, the President of the United States (or the Vice President) does not control the prices that big corporations charge consumers, it’s greed on the part of these companies like Albertson’s, Fred Meyer, etc., who set the prices. Harris planned to institute regulations to control their greed and lower the cost of groceries, etc., but Trump’s “tariffs,’ WILL absolutely affect American consumers.

Furthermore, voters, pissed off about Biden’s handling of Hamas, voted for Trump in protest. By the way, Trump and his entire administration are 100% pro-Israel, and support the atrocities Netanyahu has perpetrated against innocent civilians who have nothing to do with the terrorists of Hamas.

Voting is the equivalent to an open book examination in college or high school. All the information needed to educate yourselves on the issues are available at your fingertips, but you have to open the damn book! Voters, angry about Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, chose not to educate themselves about what control or influence on world politics a Vice President actually HAS. Harris was not pro-Israel, but publicly stated she was against Palestinian and Israeli aggression.

When textile and supply prices go up, those increases affect the cost for costumers. The tariffs that will be implemented will increase costs by 60% from any goods purchased from China. For my business, this will impact such items as “freshwater pearls,” that I use on my costume embellishment. China is the world’s largest exporter of pearls, which are “grown” or farmed in that country.

Coates embroidery thread, which I use in my embroidery machines, are based in Mexico. With Trump’s tariffs the cost will go up 20%. A spool of Coates gold metallic thread is $12.99 at JoAnns. That will increase by roughly $2.60 per spool.

Faux Baleen from Germany, used in corsetry, will go up anywhere from 10 to 20%.

American Duchess, who contracts with shoemakers in China to produce their historical shoes will have to raise their prices by 60%!!  

Buttons, thread, fabric, notions, everything you can imagine used in the creation of historical costumes are imported from China. Tariffs will have a noticeable impact on the entire historical costume community, which is already an expensive hobby.

At a time when American’s are paying more for goods and groceries than other countries, not only will tariffs impact the economy, but Trump and the Republicans as outlined in Project 2025, plan to cut Social Security by no less than 20%, but they also are planning to do away with it entirely, to include social security disability, which millions of disabled and retired Americans depend on to exist.

In a word, and I don’t give a flying fig that I’m bringing politics into historical costuming, you voted for more inflation and higher cost of goods. It would behoove all ya’ll among the younger generations to use Google and research how the stock market crash of 1929 happened, and how tariffs played a significant role in exacerbating the Great Depression.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, passed in June 1930, was a key factor. This act raised tariffs on thousands of imported goods in an attempt to protect American industries and farmers, which had unintended consequences such as:

Retaliation by Other Countries: Many countries responded by imposing their own tariffs on American goods, which led to a significant decline in international trade.

Reduction in Exports and Imports: American exports and imports fell by about 67% during the Great Depression. This decline in trade worsened the economic downturn.

Global Economic Impact: The tariffs contributed to a global economic slowdown, making it harder for the U.S. and other countries to recover from the depression.

These consequences ended in joblessness, as companies closed down. Read about the how the banks went under, people lost their jobs, resulting in widespread foreclosures, and the rise in shanty towns to house millions of homeless who were once productive members among the middle class.

Is this hyperbole? No! If you do not educate yourselves, history will repeat itself. Trump’s tariffs will impact Americans on a catastrophic level, as well as impact the global economy.

So, next time, maybe study for the “open book test” rather than sourcing your information from word of mouth like, you know, Fox News.

Hang on to your butts, it’s gonna get rough for all of us.

P.S: If you voted for him, and your fee-fees are hurt by this article, don't you dare say one hateful thing in my blog or my Facebook page or you will be blocked.

On December 30th 1899 the Albion Motor Company was established.

What I love most about this Motor company are than names of the vehicles have a great Scottish connection, The Clydesdale, The Reiver, The Chieftain and The Claymore to name but a few.

The factory was originally in Glasgow, moving to Scotstoun in 1903 and it initially manufactured motor cars until in 1909 when they switched to commercial vehicle manufacture, trucks then buses.

Norman O. Fulton and T. Blackwood Murray founded The Albion Motor Car Company, in Glasgow, in 1902, Albion built it's first commercial vehicle. This simple vehicle was a half-ton van. A development a 3/4 ton van. More models followed, ranging in payload weights up to 2 tons.

Albion continued to build lightweight vehicles, but they built their first 3-4 ton payload commercial, the A10, in 1910.

Having been accepted by the government, some 6000 such examples were built for war service during World War I. This was to become Albions most famous truck, and continued in production until 1926.

As well as trucks Albion also made charabanc, as seen in the two pics showing a 1906 model and a restored 1912 one, aren't they great! The restored charabanc is in the Beamish Museum in Morth East Enfgland. The first charabancs were 12 seaters, they went on to build 20 and 30 saeter versions. The Model 26 30 seater was later to be named 'Viking' took just over 24 hours to complete a non-stop run from Glasgow to London and back in 1925.

From 1928, the Albion rising sun logo, was fitted to radiator tops, and in 1930, the company became Albion Motors Limited.

During World War II, Albion Motors manufactured Enfield No 2 Mk I revolvers to aid the war effort. By 1945, 24,000 revolvers were produced.

Leyland Motors acquired Albion in 1951, ensuring that all Albions used increasing amounts of Leyland components.

Political shifts in the manufacturing bodies of British Leyland dictated that the Albion name would disappear by 1972, although the Scotstoun factory that built them was destined to build medium-weight trucks for LeylTrucks and buses (single- and double-deckers) were manufactured in the Scotstoun works until 1980. The buses were exported to Asia, East Africa, Australia, India and South Africa. Almost all Albion buses were given names beginning with "V", these models being the Victor, Valiant, Viking, Valkyrie, and Venturer.and.

Glasgow born Mark Knopfler's song, Border Reiver, the first cut on his 2009 release,

Southern bound from Glasgow town She's shining in the sun My Scotstoun lassie On the border run We're whistling down the hillsides And tearing up the climbs I'm just a thiever, stealing time In theBorder Reiver.

Sure as the Sunrise’, that's what they say about the Albion

Sure as the Sunrise’, that's what they say about the Albion

Figures taken from the Observatory of Economic Complexity.

Russia isn’t fighting Ukraine alone. Alongside its soldiers are African conscripts, supported by Iranian drones and partly funded by stolen gold and diamonds. They may soon be joined by “lethal support” from China, according to U.S. officials.

For these vital contributions, Russian President Vladimir Putin can thank his fellow autocrats. And he’s returning the favor: Despite the invasion’s heavy toll on Russia, he still sends resources to other embattled dictators. Autocrats, like democrats, are finding that war offers them new opportunities to cooperate. And dictators’ inherent interest in staying in power means that their collaboration will continue regardless of whether Ukraine prevails.

These networks weren’t created overnight but reflect prolonged efforts by Russia, China, and likeminded regimes to make the world safe for autocracy—particularly following the Western response to Putin’s first Ukraine invasion in 2014. Their activities include neutering international civil society, spreading disinformation, and exporting surveillance technology. Today’s war in Ukraine illustrates the power of these networks—coalitions not of the willing but the wanton—to not only sustain authoritarianism where it already exists, but to export it by force.

These networks have impeded Western attempts to isolate the Kremlin and starve its war machine. Within days of the invasion, Western diplomats made Russia the most sanctioned country in the world. At first, these penalties appeared to be working: They erased Russia’s post-Soviet development gains, and more than a thousand international companies left the country. But Russia built new ties. For instance, as oil exports to the West fell in 2022, purchases from China and India—countries that did not condemn the invasion—made up the difference, contributing to Russia’s record $227 billion trade surplus. Russia used these funds to pay for the war and blunt its economic consequences for ordinary Russians. On the diplomatic front, Russia has been heavily courting African nations.

Belarus’s Aleksandr Lukashenko has aided Putin the most, hosting Russia’s troops and allowing missile launches from Belarusian territory, but these authoritarian networks stretch much farther than neighboring countries. Take, for example, Sudan. When sanctions sent the value of Russian rubles plunging to record lows, the Kremlin turned to its gold reserves to prop it up. In order to fill those reserves—which had tripled in size since Russia’s 2014 invasion—the Russians have been colluding with Sudan’s military dictatorship to smuggle billions of dollars’ worth of gold out of the country. One shipment, hidden under boxes of cookies, was scheduled to depart Khartoum just days after the invasion.

Russia’s Sudanese gold-mining front is called Meroe Gold. It began operations in 2017, weeks after the country’s then-dictator, Omar al-Bashir, asked Putin for help staying in power. Russia dispatched advisors from the Wagner Group, the ruthless Kremlin-linked mercenary group fighting in Ukraine and around the world. Wagner’s advice lived up to its reputation: During Sudan’s 2018 protests, its personnel told al-Bashir to execute individual demonstrators to set an example. After pro-democracy protests ousted al-Bashir in 2019, Wagner cozied up to Sudan’s military, which toppled the country’s nascent democratic government in 2021. In return, Wagner was given free rein of the mining industry. It has eliminated the competition by massacring dozens of miners near Sudan’s border with the Central African Republic (CAR).

The Central African story is depressingly similar to Sudan’s. Besieged by rebels, in 2018 the country’s president appealed to the Kremlin for arms and to Wagner to train his troops. Unlike in Sudan, in 2020 Wagner began to fight the insurgents directly. As payment, the government ceded control of the diamond industry. Wagner forces artisanal miners to sell only to its shell company, Diamville, through intimidation and violence. The blood diamonds are then smuggled out of the country and sold unofficially on Facebook and Instagram and officially through dealers in the West in order to fund Wagner’s operations.

In addition to money, Wagner—facing heavy losses in Ukraine—is drawing manpower from the CAR and its neighbors. It has recruited imprisoned murderers, rapists, and even rebels convicted of killing CAR soldiers (Wagner’s ostensible allies), promising freedom and cash to anyone willing to fight in Ukraine. In March 2022, Libyan National Army commander Khalifa Haftar agreed to send mercenaries to fight for Russia, and Syrians are reportedly joining them.

While deployed in Africa, Wagner personnel have behaved with impunity: pillaging, raping, and trafficking women. Nevertheless, when asked, many Central Africans back Moscow or credit Wagner for bringing peace. Sixteen African nations, including the CAR and Sudan, abstained or voted against the February 2023 United Nations resolution calling on Russia to exit Ukraine. This is a testament not only to public opinion (or indifference) about Ukraine’s plight, but also to the appeal of what the Kremlin offers Africa’s autocrats. Leaders of poor but resource-rich countries are effectively giving Wagner bits of their sovereignty—and ignoring any resulting human rights violations—as payment for keeping them in power. And more are interested: Ghana’s president alleged that Burkina Faso’s leadership requested Wagner’s help, offering a mine in return.

Not every case of support for Russia’s war machine is so brazen or features a private military-mafia straight from a James Bond movie. Take the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Its willingness to look past shady financial transactions has allowed billions of dollars to flow to the Kremlin, as much of Sudan’s gold and the CAR’s diamonds are sold illicitly there. The UAE also bills itself as a haven for sanctioned Russian oligarchs, making it easy for them to come, buy Emirati citizenship, and park their yachts, planes, and ill-gotten gains. Turkey has become an entrepôt for European businesses seeking to continue trading with Russia. Chinese defense companies are supplying the Kremlin with crucial navigation, radio-jamming, and fighter jet components.

Armaments are also a growing part of Russia’s dealings with Iran, another embattled, sanctioned autocracy. Iranian drones have played a “central role” in attacks on Ukrainian civilians. And more are coming: The two countries are planning to build a factory in Russia to produce at least 6,000 of them. Iran, for its part, should receive around 24 Russian fighter jets by March. It also turned to Russia for counsel on defusing the protests sparked by Mahsa Amini’s death, so the Kremlin reportedly dispatched advisors. These actions are leading Moscow and Tehran toward a “full-fledged defense partnership.”

Not all autocrats are moving toward Putin. In principle, Venezuela’s regime consistently supports Russian imperialism: It took Russia’s side against Georgia in 2008, recognized Crimea as Russian, and blamed the West for the Ukraine invasion. And Putin helped Venezuela’s dictator to sell oil as democracies recognized the opposition government-in-exile and imposed crushing sanctions. But now, in practice, relations between Venezuela and the West are normalizing: Maduro wants to sell oil, and the West wants to stop buying it from Russia.

Venezuela shows that these coalitions of the wanton are as easy to make as they are to break, for they are held together only by self-interest. Nevertheless, these ties are bound to proliferate as autocrats turn to each other amid crisis. The Kremlin in particular views these networks as fundamental to maintaining power at home and waging a perceived existential struggle against the West. In other words, autocrats already see their struggles against democracy—whether in Iran, Sudan, or Ukraine—as interconnected and act accordingly. Democracies must learn to do the same.

Understanding the Role of Pour Point Depressants in Oilfield Operations

Pour point depressants are chemical additives used to lower the freezing point or viscosity point of a fluid.  They ensure that nothing gets stuck or frozen over, which is especially crucial in the winter.  When it comes to controlling the pour point of oils and fuels, nobody will assist you better than a leading Pour Point Depressant manufacturer in India.  By altering the crystal structure of waxy components in crude oils, lubricants, and diesel fuels, these additives reduce the pour points of these substances and enhance their flow properties at low temperatures.

They have a large range of pour point depressants available, and we are a distinguished Pour Point Depressant exporter in Syria, exporting quality PPDs to Oil and Gas industry in Syria as well as other countries.  These additives lower the pour points and improve the low-temperature flow characteristics of crude oils, lubricants, and diesel fuels by modifying the crystal structure of waxy components in these substances.

What are Pour Point Depressants used for?

Depressants of the pour point are additives used to make lubricants and fuels more fluid at low temperatures.  These chemicals are crucial in a wide variety of applications where it is necessary to maintain fluid flow despite freezing conditions.  Imperial Oilfield Chemicals is your best option for locating a dependable pour point depressant producer in India or a supplier in Syria.

The waxes and paraffin present in oils and fuels tend to solidify when exposed to low temperatures, generating a network that impedes the free movement of the fluids.  Pour point depressants function by changing the crystal structure of these ingredients, reducing the viscosity of the fluid.  Even at low temperatures, the fluid is able to flow more freely because of this.

The oil and gas industry relies significantly on pour point depressants when transporting, storing, and managing petroleum products like crude oils, lubricants, diesel fuels, and more.  The aerospace, automotive, maritime, and industrial industries all make use of them.  They make it possible for car engines to start and function normally in freezing conditions.  In the aviation sector, pour point depressants help keep fuel flowing freely and prevent fuel lines from clogging.

Types of Pour Point Depressants:

Pour point depressants (PPDs) are additives added to lubricants and fuels to increase their viscosity at low temperatures.  For example:

Polymethacrylates

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymers

Polyalkyl Methacrylates

Polyacrylates

Copolymers of Styrene and Esters

Polyalkylphenols

These pour point depressants are just a sampling of the numerous available options.  Several factors, including the type of oil or fuel, the desired amount of pour point reduction, and the requirements of the application at hand, all play a role in determining which PPD to use.

How to choose the suitable Pour Point Depressant for your Oilfield application?

Several factors should be taken into account when deciding on a pour point depressant (PPD) for usage in the oil industry.  Imperial Oilfield Chemicals, a renowned Pour Point Depressant manufacturer in India and Pour Point Depressant supplier in Syria offers helpful guidance during the selection procedure.

The Role of Pour Point Depressants in Oilfield Operations:

Pour point depressants (PPDs) are crucial to oilfield operations because they improve the low-temperature flow properties of oils and fuels.  The oil and gas sector relies heavily on Pour Point Depressants (PPDs), and Imperial Oilfield Chemicals is the well-known Pour Point Depressant exporter in Syria.

PPDs are used in oilfield operations to lower the pour point, or the temperature at which a fluid becomes too viscous to flow freely.  This is especially important in climates where colder temperatures make it harder to transport lubricants and fuels.  By disrupting the crystal structures of the waxy components, PPDs prevent the development of solid networks and reduce the viscosity of the fluids.

PPDs maintain efficiency by regulating the pour point, which guarantees continuous fluid flow.  Shipping, storing, and managing lubricants, diesel fuels, and crude oils are all significant applications.  PPDs allow operations to continue without interruption and decrease the probability of costly equipment failure because fluids may flow freely even when temperatures are low.

Final Thoughts:

PPDs are especially helpful in cold environments or throughout the winter since they regulate the pour point and prevent fluid flow disruptions.  If you're looking for a reliable Pour Point Depressant supplier in Syria, or anywhere in the world, go no further than Imperial Oilfield Chemicals.

When oilfield operators have a strong grasp on the role performed by pour point depressants, they are better able to handle the dangers associated with low temperatures.  With the assistance of manufacturers and suppliers like Imperial Oilfield Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., operators may select the optimal PPDs for their operations.

Did you know? Choosing the right steel grade for #forging? During forging, metal is pressed, pounded, or squeezed under great pressure into high strength elements called forgings.

Preheating the metal to the desired temperature before working it is often (but not always) a part of the method. Forging is a totally different process from casting (or foundry) since the metal used to make forged parts is never melted and poured (as in casting).

The forging process will produce parts that are stronger than those manufactured by the other shaping method. This is often why forgings are nearly always used wherever dependability and human safety are essential. However you will rarely see forgings as they are normally component parts contained within assembled things such as airplanes, cars, tractors, ships, oil drilling instrumentation, engines, missiles and all forms of capital equipment.

Steel is an iron-based alloy with small additions of carbon and other elements that impart improvements in various properties. Steel is among the most useful of metals. It is the metal that has the highest strength per unit cost. There are a wide range of steel compositions as well as a wide range of micro structures that can be produced. These ranges allow a large choice of properties to be achieved within the steel-alloy family.

Properties of Compound Steel: It contains around 1% to 5% of steel that is consolidated with different components. Diverse combination components have remarkable properties and including these components enhance different qualities.

The normal properties of combination steel are Corrosion Resistance, Machinability, Hardenability and Weldability.

Best Steel for Forging: In forging maximum used two steel grades i.e. H13 Tool Steel and DB6 Tool Steel. If you are research company that provide you steel for your forging company the you are at right place.

California is the peak of Western culture. People are finished with life, that’s why there are so many cults: Hare Krishna, Moonies, EST, Esalen—all kinds of strange things. You have just to be a little bold and you can make a cult out of anything. Primal therapy, or scream… Nowhere ever in the whole world was anybody so inventive as to make a scream a religion! But in California you can do anything. Hugging therapy! And people are doing it, and paying for it, for hugging therapy! Hugging strangers—you are doing the hugging and somebody else is collecting the fee. You both are giving the fee to a third person, and you are doing the work! It is really great. I was reading a news article some five, six years back. I don’t remember exactly what the therapy was called but I remember the picture that was in the magazine. It was of a naked man going on all fours with his tongue drooping out like a dog, barking. And you have to pay for it! You do the whole job… And people were getting high on it. What else to do? When you have paid two hundred and fifty dollars for being a dog and barking, then it is better to say that you ‘got it.’ Now people are tired of this too. Esalen is dying, EST is finished. EST has been trying—Werner Erhard came to see me in Poona because at that time it had started falling. In California nothing lasts more than ten years. Every fashion… these are all fashions, but no fashion can last long. So Werner Erhard was in search of something—and he found it. In the East he saw the hungry people so he brought back home the ‘Hunger Project,’ and he started claiming that within ten years there would not be a single hungry human being on the earth. People were donating, and nobody bothered to ask, ‘What are you saying? Have you calculated how many people there are? Have you calculated how many hungry people there are? Have you calculated in ten years how many more hungry people will be there? And how many collections can you have?’ But all those collections simply disappeared. Hunger is there; it has not disappeared—it has doubled! But these so-called new cultists are not any better than the politicians. Henry Kissinger was saying exactly the same thing when he was in power, that within ten years there would not be a hungry child around the globe. And nobody asks these people, ‘Now five years have passed; at least half the hungry people should have disappeared, because otherwise how, within another five years, are things going to change? Hungry people have doubled. Hunger has not disappeared; Henry Kissinger has disappeared! Who knows where this guy is? And who cares! Werner Erhard cheated people in every possible way. And the beauty of this is, you cheat people in every possible way. Werner Erhard is a Jew, but he changed his name to a German name because it would be difficult for a Jew to exploit Christians; for that a German name is far better. In some way everything imported is always better. I used to think that this stupid idea existed only in India, but that is not the case. In America nobody bothers with the American guru, but imported from India?—he must be a great guru. Of course India cannot export cars and high technology, but it can export great gurus. And it goes on exporting them—and they all end up in California. When Sheela was looking for a place for your commune, I told her, ‘Beware of California; just keep away from California.’ She said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘You don’t ask why; you just keep away. Just forget that California exists.’ I don’t want to be counted amongst Indian gurus because I am neither an Indian, nor am I a guru. But what can you do with these crackpot media people? They start calling you something and that’s what you become. Where is Werner Erhard now? With hunger disappearing has he also disappeared? Authentic people?—he left his father, mother, his wife, his children, without even telling them that he was going away. He simply escaped, moving thousands of miles away, changed his name, may have changed his hair-do, clothes, and became Werner Erhard. And his parents, his wife, his children were all dependent on him, they were starving. And he was proposing a hunger project—‘within ten years, hunger will disappear from the world.’ These people are not different from politicians—and cannot be, because this is also a power trip. Things that they are telling people not to do, they have been doing exactly those same things.

To clarify some stuff and add more

1. The schools shutting down

The schools wont shut down completely. Its summer Vacation time here the kids are at home doing holiday homework. And after their vacations are over they will come back to school as usual. Even if its not vacay, the online classes will continue always. Plus due to covid the state has made some kinda fruitful arrangements already so that the max amount of students can take classes online. The studies wont face the impact that much.

But schools also exist for various other purposes. Like- sport dicipline socialisation etc etc etc. Schools exist to develop you holistically. In case schools get shut down permanently that duty of holistic development will land on parents, and that would be really hard for them. In case anyone was wondering.

2. Indians not knowing about pop culture/ being on the edge of survivability

I kid you not. The indian population makes better memes than white people. So relax. We understand white culture AND we understand our culture as well. Its really easy for me to put you in a box and label it with a common white people stereotype and guess what it probably wont be a stereotype either. I dont know what your media or country politicians feed you about India but if our country stops exporting, other countries Will definitely struggle for loads of things. And this goes out to non - whites as well, respect people regardless of what they look like or where and how they live and how they talk or anything. We are not at the "edge of survivability" we are doing quiet well thankyou. And even if we are i would love to know how your own country is doing :)

3. The impact of heat

Yesterday a car caught fire in the area where I study. People are dying. And yes the schools are shut. The air conditioners arent working properly. You sweat a lot all the time. You fall sick. You dont feel like eating solid food. The water in taps is hot as fuck. Its not even tolerable. You feel suffocated and your blood circulation is all fucked up. You can feel nauseous. And this is just may. June and july and august are all waiting. And this time the rainfall is going to be low as well. So its all going to get worse. And yes its common. its not the first time we are experiencing torturous heat. it has been the case since years. Its real. Its all real.

4. Will writing about it help

Maybe. Probably it will bring awareness to people. if and only if you manage to capture the exact essence of our suffering. Its not suppossed to be reduced to "uwu my bby had a heatstroke once and its a one shot about his fever and his lover taking care of him by giving him paracetamol twice aww lovebirds"

No.

Write about the causes of this. Write about the implications and impact. Write about prevention and cure. Write. Its your right to raise awareness through your hobbies and talent. Its magical. But use your magic the correct way. We are not fictional. We are not a joke. We are not living in a fantasy. We are not uneducated and poor. We see the world we observe the world we exist in it and fully understand it. Do your research. Talk with the people who are suffering. Fuck social media, interact with the real world around you. Use your internet wisely. No one is stopping you from writing. Its your fundamental right. But dont forget we are humans too.

Peace 🥰

it's been nice knowing you all
