COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.

Yes, Guppy uses buttons, too. She has 11 words compared to Elsie's 130, but she's very clear when she uses them! They have very different styles on the board, but I find it fascinating that they both use repetition for emphasis. #fluentpet
