Vance asks for a "little bit of patience." Sound familiar? Hoover plunged the nation into Depression asking Americans "if you will have patience".
Meanwhile, a taxi driver with cancer in Arizona has premiums go up from $44 to $2,600 a month.

But what's worse-he didn't even TRY to lower prices
Instead, almost as soon he got into office, he started hitting people with tariffs-making things infinitely worse

Devastating news.
