I’m just wondering if when the US tariffs take effect, there’ll be a huge increase in black market smuggled consumer goods coming in to the USa , and the unintended consequence would be a huge jump in criminal activity similar to the growth of the mafia in the 20’s and 30’s because of prohibition.

The meme shows Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob SquarePants driving a pink seashell with wheels. The text at the top says "Me driving home from work knowing I'm only going home to eat and sleep so I can do it all again tomorrow." This is a funny meme because it is relatable to many people who work. The caption makes it seem like the person who took the picture is trying to say that they are tired of working and just want to go home and relax.
