What are you saying? "None of the doomsday predictions have come to pass." -> nothing is wrong and the USA is fine

"There's been major impact to some things" -> so bad things have happened

"but for the most part the economy has hummed along without a blip." -> so despite bad things happening, just plug your ears and sing loudly?

As for prices in Walmart, they HAVE gone up. Several companies have had press releases stating they need to increase prices because of tariffs:

"Retailers like Costco and Best Buy said they have already raised some prices, while Walmart, Target and Macy's plan to follow suit"

I'll be the first to say that given the circumstances our underlying economy and people have held up better than complete collapse. But you can't pretend this is not happening.
