it is because they want to impoverish the country! they don’t want high end manufacturing. they want americans working subsistence wages making t shirts and clothes hangers

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

ha! house man thats generous
Not the kind on HGTV the kind they’re making for the homeless.
Perfect for a family of four.🤦♀️

2. Turn us into wage slaves
3. Profit!
Even if they tried brining textile mills here, it wouldn’t be cost effective.
Literally every reason they proposed is wrong.
he’s been walking around all his life thinking “tariffs will fix it! why don’t we do tariffs? everybody else is so stupid”
They meant, "Manual labor that serves to make the oligarchy richer is the only vocation in our ideal America - Oh, and also no brown folks allowed."

Unqualified freedom to misinform has destroyed America.
GOP IS HATEFUL
The others are willfully ignorant
There will be no human factory jobs.
Menace will be harsh. Does he even consider the time,money to have a functioning system her? NO.
Just alone the Infrastructure it takes to do it is not here.
This is a MADMAN gone completely off the boil.
The future (of US pitchfork manufacturing)‘s so bright, we gotta wear shades!
Like when America was great last time!
Just watch what is about to happen to the Auto Workers who backed MAGA. They'll lose their homes unless they settle for massive wage cuts and loss of benefits.
this is their abundance fallacy
even w/the inevitability of UBI I'm not sure how this would be good for humans/sustainability/immediacy
this will take decades with no rollout plan aside from "wait & see"
How many of you MAGAts who love your lifestyle are THAT rich?
He is making US more dependent on him🚩
He tells US, "I'll protect you" whether we want it or not🚩
He tells US we are beautiful and he loves US, all while taking what he wants from US🚩
All these signs of an abuser, dictator, cult leader, fascist...

like, yeah, sorry, trump and his inner circle think this is a great idea. they're completely detached from reality or yes-men
"Good old days"
Aquaman?!
(You're right. But damn these guys are a mess. How are they going to get their people to the factories from the suburbs to sew these suits? Government funded suvs?)
But they should have planned a reintroduction, not just insulted our allies, crashed the stock market & laid people off at the same time.
Cutting govt benefits & alienating trade
And even if a mafia state is able to make a few OK semiconductors like China, the profit is lower because of the lower quality.
This it the goal for Trump.
It ain't good. It ain't realistic. But it's a little less black & white/good.V.evil than you're painting it.
They're jonesing to be a small number of people ruling over a large number of subsistence workers.
total power trip by the Orange Airhorn
Suburban millionaires, car dealership owners, real estate agents, they saw workers briefly speak out & they freaked out.
They think they'll be in that 10%

Like they want Russia circa 1840
Hm. I’d not considered this particular stream of insanity before.
We ourselves could live comfortably if the working class would give up their rights and just work, be poor and die at 40.
When he says “we are going to be so rich “ he’s not talking to us
Which is just so stupid but IMO tracks w/him
Not because of high labor costs. Because that’s not how t shirts will be produced at high scale in a decade.
Actual production is for suckers.
They aim to sell branding and franchise rights, or take a cut from anyone using 'their' software.
Last I heard, truth is still making people free. They chose to worship idols for the sake of fame and fortune.
Woe be unto those who choose wrong or right.
Selah.
No - they are doing exactly what they intended AND TOLD US THEY WOULD do!
This was the goal!
We can just look at Musk to see that these people think they understand how things work even when they have no clue. Musk is obsessed with his personal wealth and increasing it and how is that going for him?
Musk just wants adoration. Sheer, unquestionable adoration.
Money is just what he thought would be the quickest way to reach that goal, which explains why he's bluescreening now that he's getting a reality check.

Poor gotta pay for everything-food, rents, healthcare, childcare..
They have their money and do not care about anyone who doesn't
Up here in more rural Western WA, smaller towns never recovered after the '08 Recession; foreclosures & defaults were snapped up by the banks we bailed out in 2009.
Stand-Up
Speak Up
Resist

It's certainly not a very good way to get a totalitarian grip on the country.
Technofeudalism.
I suggest everyone here to look it up if you haven't already. THAT is their endgame.
Not that it will work, mind you.
The concept need the entire world to follow suit. Which it won't
The only little ray of hope i have is that they're handling the transition so ineptly it'll create some blowback.
Destroying social security, for instance, is pure stupidity. Plenty of other examples.
Ben Kiernan has a good book called "How Pol Pot Came to Power" that's all about how the ideological center of the CPK created this ideological vapor lock prior to 1975 that just kept going.
Their genius is that they’ve convinced 40% of the country that they’ll also be rich.
