SOUNDBITE (English) resident (name not given) (starting with shot 1): "It's going to affect everybody's lives, and everything is increasing, has been, and continues to go up." 3. SOUNDBITE (English) resident (name not given): "We kind of anticipated that there might be tariffs in the coming year. We kind of looked through and thought, what are the things that need replacing? What are the items that are going to cost a lot? And one of those things is electronics. So, we ended up buying some electronics that just needed some upgrading, because we figured that there's a good chance that those things are going to get relatively decent tariffs on them in the future." 4. SOUNDBITE (English) resident (name not given) (partially overlaid with shot 5): "We work really hard for everything we work for. And then, just to come over here and obviously have to adjust certain things to get. We're obviously seeing the increase of prices on everything, that necessities end up changing when you don't have enough, you have to switch things around, grab other things instead of the things you might want."

SOUNDBITE (English) resident (name not given): "I have been preparing very well because I come here every day to pick up everything I can before these prices go up. It's going to be terrible, I believe in my heart. I grew up in New York in 1960s to the 1970s, the recession happened when people went out in the streets, started burning places, and I couldn't come out. My mother wasn't even going to let me come out. It's going to be worse." 8. SOUNDBITE (English) resident (name not given) (ending with shots 9-10): "It's awful. It's calling [on] survival. I'm going to survive. I don't know. It's already expensive. Keep on pinching pennies. What else can I do?" 9. Various of employees putting meat products on refrigerator shelves 10.
