I retired last year after an extended temporary assignment at Honda here in Ohio. I shudder to think what will happen to all those very nice and very good people.

Awww. GQP voters suffering from GQP policies. Tough 💩

Toyota also has a plant in Southern Indiana & a bunch of offshoot factories that produce parts for it. Thousands of people will be affected here too!

yesicanidiot911.bsky.social•6 days ago

It will seem even less significant if we get sick from bird flu too, since Leon has fired 25% of the staff that tests for the virus, keeps tabs on mutations, develops new vaccines etc.

And even less on top of that, if trumpleon decide to slash any help they could apply for after losing their jobs!😡

Red states wanted to burn it down around us. Did they forget that fire spreads?

free2b56.bsky.social•7 days ago

Who did those states vote for? The guy who PROMISED this would happen? Crashing the economy was his daily message to anyone who listened and understood.

busterandme.bsky.social•7 days ago

The maga auto workers piss me off more than most, they should know better. There isn't a vehicle produced in north america that doesn't involve components from other countries.

invictusghost.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump and Musk are crashing the US economy. Crashing it to the Great Depression level of crashed. We are still blabbing on today on the press shows about legislative budgets and rules. We have entered a dictatorship. The world understands it.

layeredsky.bsky.social•6 days ago

First rule in any war.

Everyone loses.

This is what concepts of a plan gets you America.

mrz7777.bsky.social•7 days ago

Looks like the South is willing to shoot itself in the feet just to say they owned us libs.. idiots.

sfshlv.bsky.social•7 days ago

Actually they don’t even own the libs. They are people who got impacted first. I still own my house.

mrz7777.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's their mindset . It's idiotic but there you are .

kittenclaws48.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’s because it feeds their strangely warped sense of relevance. The only “power” they erroneously perceive to hold over the rest of us is their regressive politics.
Thus, “owning” the Libs. 🤪

sfshlv.bsky.social•6 days ago

I know. I am saying they will never “own” the libs. What dumb flock of backward people.

whirledbizarre.bsky.social•7 days ago

The Christofascists want to break everything down to nothing, then build it back up with limited regulations and affirmative action for their white Christian cronies.

ichaukan.bsky.social•7 days ago

The mindless zealots yearn for the End Times™. Because working together to build a better world takes effort.

kittenclaws48.bsky.social•6 days ago

You said it ! They pray for Armageddon because they ALL think they are going to Heaven.
Kinda like a massive death cult.

overt-inker.bsky.social•7 days ago

💯

trickcyclist.bsky.social•7 days ago

How long before US economic collapse?

kittenclaws48.bsky.social•6 days ago

And yet, the majority of those very same workers in those states voted for trump. You reap what you sow.

huxley64.bsky.social•6 days ago

Weren’t these the same car companies that donated money to his inauguration? And weren’t these the same workers bitching and moaning that the unions were trying to fuck em? Hahahahahaha, eat the plate full of shit and ask for seconds! Dummies

gtrbuff.bsky.social•7 days ago

Now entering the “Find Out” part. 😏

pulltabs.bsky.social•7 days ago

Shut’em down.

Eventually it will hurt MAGA enough they may act

patriotboy2025.bsky.social•7 days ago

This Toyota factory in North Carolina will be affected if the Inflation Reduction Act is repealed.

Here is a thread of examples of other projects that will be in the same situation.

I am sadly in a red state and I cam tell ya did not vote for this 😔🤬

bmcchgo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes they did

tashamz.bsky.social•6 days ago

Same here.

darrenkirschman.bsky.social•7 days ago

FAFO!

teddydog19.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hate to gloat but am going to anyway. Just how many of those red state assembly line workers do you suppose voted for Trump ? Imagine the kitchen table grumbling.."I don't wanna talk about it."...or "You're a damned idiot and I want a divorce."

evilwoman46111.bsky.social•7 days ago

Tariffs are going to bring industry to a screeching halt.
Just like the
Smoot Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 did.

cowhyde.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump=poverty

kittenclaws48.bsky.social•6 days ago

Those two look like they qualify as his next few cabinet appointees.

liblander.bsky.social•6 days ago

Good. Do nothing to prevent this from happening. Then arrive in the immediate aftermath to assign blame and capitalize.

bluefootedbird.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sadly, this is what America voted for.

trickcyclist.bsky.social•7 days ago

Should that be, what Muskrat voted for, with his access to voting machines?

johndavidson105.bsky.social•7 days ago

Gee, hmmm, what is it about those states I can’t quite put my finger on…. 🤔

trickcyclist.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s a real mystery. Even to us on the other side of the Atlantic

sfshlv.bsky.social•7 days ago

All res states? FAFO

benofoss.bsky.social•7 days ago

f this comes to pass , I believe having the rug pulled out from under your livelihood (at the expense of your family), will likely cause some to try out that new arsonal they have invested in over the years.

phantompatriot11.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maga self own!

The Party of Dunning and Kruger!

Boycott red states so blu states can welfare them.

mkgreen.bsky.social•6 days ago

And now the leopard is licking its chops, staring at their faces.

buggedterminal.bsky.social•7 days ago

"You don't get it bro, the tariffs are going to force these companies to open factories in America and it will create jobs"

kittenclaws48.bsky.social•6 days ago

Nope, these companies will simply pick up and move all their manufacturing to friendlier countries. The new economic markets emerging in Europe, South America, Mexico and throughout Asia will NOT be dependent upon American made products. Trump is rendering the USA irrelevant on the world stage.

buggedterminal.bsky.social•6 days ago

Lmao, do we really need to spell it out every single time sarcasm is being used?

We are in agreement here.

kittenclaws48.bsky.social•6 days ago

Again…which post are you referring to?

kittenclaws48.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh wait… I found it. Dude, it may have been sarcasm, but I’ve heard way too many MAGA who were totally serious about stuff like that.
Should be sarcasm, but nowadays one never knows.
