The reason that the stock market cratered in response to this was that regular consumers are about to get hit with a 25%+ price increase on literally everything they buy. If you don’t make 25% more paycheck, you’re going to be cutting your lifestyle by the difference.

The price increases are probably going to be in full swing in 2-3 months, but that’s an educated guess, only.

Not really, just a huge difference between the different regions of PA. Philadelphia/Pittsburgh/Harrisburg vote blue, their metros mostly do, the rest of the state is deep red.
