I had a panic attack on the bathroom floor of an Amazon warehouse as a reaction to Trump's tariffs and the retaliatory effects of it. I know it's stupid and part of the cause of it is because I rushed out of my apartment on two cups of coffee and a very empty stomach. But upon hearing that, I started to think about how it'll affect my life. The place I work gets majority of it's products from China and I'm afraid the customer flow will slow down enough, due to the price increase that they will layoff most of their remaining "seasonal" employees, me included. I brought these concerns to management and he said the company will be fine. Which is cool but I'm more worried about having a job for like the next six months so I can try and stay alive. So I'm now pushing harder to learn different coding languages as a race against AI while acknowledging it's just a tool and not a replacement for coders. Building this site is fun (I'm working on a revamp soon-ish so these pages are not only easier to read but flows a lot easier) and I've learned a lot but I have to shift my focus from CSS and HTML to SQL and Python loops to stay in the race because I absolutely do not want to be a warehouse worker for the rest of my fucking life. So good luck to me.
