New in PN: Trump tries to restore a grim era for workers
"Let’s pretend that unlike his first term, everything goes right, happens fast, and factories are ready to start pumping out products in record time. What would those jobs look like?
Bad. They’ll look bad. There’s no other way to put it."

Business leaders understand this and know Americans want cheap goods, so why spend money to build more expensive items?
“Plenty of prisons,” said the gentleman.
“And the Union workhouses? Are they still in operation?”
“They are. Still, I wish I could say they were not.”
“The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?”
“Both very busy, sir.”
Huawai is not a sweatshop these days, neither is Foxconn. Sure small segments might be, but it's super automated.
This fascination with factory work is such Boomer logic. It’s like if Gen X thought “we just need another internet-like invention like in the 90s.”
I guess we’ll have to turn a blind eye to all the undocumented immigrants coming over and taking those jobs because Americans are too proud to do them.
C’mon people, let’s be Real!
The SCOTUS which is the ONLY remedy to the stop against this nightmare it’s all IN to control & Destroy the Checks & Balances of this corrupt administration. We NEED TO IMPEACH!
From my perspective, this is pure fucking evil.
Unions and regulations made factories safe and gave a living wage to Americans, not the corporations. They seek to destroy those too.
Not really a good time for US to woo investors.
This is what MAGA Republicans voted for.
My grandfather died of it 4 years before I was born. My family who witnessed it conveyed it was a terrible way to die.
Kinda makes sense of why to dismantle the board of education!
Make everyone poor and stupid, so kids can help support their families.. where have i seen this movie before??
Trump’s cult is the biggest losers.
But of course Donald Trump wants to bring it back again, just because he's a feeble minded asshole!
Sorry Folks it’s coming quickly where we MUST DECIDE:
“Trump or AMERICA”
Many of YOU, F’d Up Already with your votes. Don’t Continue Destroying America over this Man!
If Trump uses the Insurrection Act, … Political strategist Anat Shenkar-Osorio has defined three strategies for public pressure in these times: refusal, resistance and ridicule.

The newest lie. 🙄
But let's say they did.
It would take years to build them.
But let's say it didn't.
Those jobs would be done by robots.
This is all so silly. Self-inflicted for nothing.

Not possible with everything, but worth trying to optimize.

She was a hell raiser and union champion.

North Korea and Russia. Literally that’s it.
Trump and all his cronies, including everyone in Congress, are speculating on stocks. That's why they let Trump do whatever he wants. They will benefit if they sold in December 2024 and are now waiting for the lowest price.
Only security and laws for 🔶oligarchs, 😈KKKland and the herd of corrupt people like him and who support 🔶💩him
If the Trump admin has ANY policies, it’s those.
/S
Parents will be too poor and sick to do anything about it.
Pro Life!!
Striking miners in the West Virginia Mine Wars wore red bandanas during the Battle of Blair Mountain against company thugs and law enforcement. This is where "redneck" comes from.
Support miners.
1) lower the tax rate on the bottom 4 buckets
2) increase the tax rate on the top bucket to 70% where it was for decades before 1980 when “America was great” (before Reagan implemented the failed trickle down theory)
