A question to Bangtan ARMYs in the US: 1. I’m pissed because the Orange One will increase prices with his asinine tariffs and less can go into our 2025/2026 fund. ~ OR ~ 2. I think it won’t be as bad as everyone thinks. Choose one. You may disagree in your comments, but nicely! 😜 - ThreadSky

I unhappily think #1 is going to be the result. In fact, it's probably going to be worse than many have imagined.

nillawiffle.bsky.social•98 days ago

It's gonna be bad. Between his dumb tariffs, and just the people he wants to put in charge...the whole situation is gonna be awful. The worst. Worst ever.

It's going to be very bad. He has no idea what he's doing but he loves retribution.

1. It’s going to be so much worse.

1 will definitely impact millions of people here, Ami included.

dalicecraig.bsky.social•98 days ago

Well. I’m going to say 1. but not solely bc of tariffs. The performance visa fees recently increased quite a bit, so it’s difficult to get dancers and crew in. I can see it more likely to be hard to find US crews to replace bc who knows what wages they would get if the companies can’t pay enough 👇🏾

Now this would have been a problem either way if the cost of these performance visas wasn’t decreased. For me I want to look into how much more it’ll cost for merch, I’m not sure how it’ll work, or if it’ll have any impact. And the thing is too, whatever happens may not effect us until after 4yrs

has passed. Like now, we are in these situations due to the ripple effects of the pandemic. I think societies understanding and want for immediacy makes all of this easily confused.

Ok. Off my soapbox, back to BTS 💜

Fantastic analysis. I thought some of those things with my “liberal indoctrinated person graduate degree” 😒😒😅😅, but your ARMY experience was all it needed and more. Thank you!! 💜💜💜💐💐💐

Oh you’re too kind. Critical minds think alike 😆 here’s an article about the performance visas

Lots of 1’s. I agree. We are in for it… 😔

sushisuzilove.bsky.social•98 days ago

We will have to be conscious of this and combine our trips/expenses with others! I know more Army now than I did in 2021 so hopefully it will all semi-even out.
Price of concert tickets is invaluable…I’ll eat fast food if I have to. Coordinate better than I did in 2021.

1. The prices on everything are going to go up and I haven't even been able to start saving for anything.

shinyroo.army.social•98 days ago

THIS! Same. 😬
