They haven't figured out that it was the Orange One's nonchalant COVID response that ultimately led to huge labor shortages and the inflation we're seeing now. They like to blame everyone but themselves.
Americans believing a "businessman" who has 6 bankruptcies knows what he is talking about when it comes to economics. I don't, but the amount of people who think he is a successful businessman just befuddles me.
Scott Bessent is Trump's pick for SoT. He's pro-tariff, pro-tax cuts for wealthy, and pro-deregulation. In the past, he was a financial advisor to George Soros. More recently, he's been a major fundraiser and donor for Trump.
* Privatized concentration camps because other countries will not take our deported
* and those profitized camps WILL sell enslaved labor at cheap prices
* thereby lowering wages for competing American workers (or taking their jobs altogether).🤷♀️
I paid $2.76 today for one head of iceberg lettuce at Publix, that I hate to shop out because they gave so much money to dump. I guess everyone’s gearing up for the fuck show that’s about to hit. It’ll be a while, but I’ll be glad when the Winn-Dixie close to me is turned into an Aldi.
They have already pivoted to "it will bring back manufactuirng and make US companies more competitive". Then they accuse you of wanting to exploit people for cheap wages. When asked about inflation they say they are happ to pay "a little more" for made in the USA.
So do trade wars. The pain in the wallet is about to get even more painful...thanks to the choice people made when they decided to vote for the guy who's only interested in saving himself...and no one else.
They plan to put children to work-https://www.americanprogress.org/article/project-2025-would-exploit-child-labor-by-allowing-minors-to-work-in-dangerous-conditions-with-fewer-protections/ . It’s part of the plan to dismantle education.
Don't mention that tariffs raise consumer prices either. And even companies and products not subject to tariffs will increase their prices because "the market changed".
Some of the sane people told them this and many other things but they chose to vote for your adversary. He is like their God, are you going to tell them?
Damn, I really thought he was just gonna act like he never promoted tariffs after everyone’s reaction. Guess he is even dumber than I thought. Jeeeezzz
Yes, well, the Mango Manson Administration might just decide that labor camps are the way to go, and no one who gets near him has the guts to stop him.
A major player in the inflation conversation should be the federal reserve, they ought to be held accountable for something. Also nafta has gutted America manufacturing dropping prices yes, but at a cost that I would hate to reckon up. God purposes breaking the law to drive down prices? That’s fair.
Oh Lord, if they understood simple economics, we wouldn’t be in the situation we’re in today and that we’re going to be in for the foreseeable future unless we get some divine intervention
Given the 2024 election, some have been evoking a 2015 meme that succinctly sums up the obvious harm that a voter for Donald "Felon Motherfucker " Trump will inflict on themselves: 👹'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.
What labor shortages? Don't you understand the plan? They're going to round up all the immigrants from the fields, throw them in jail, then rent them back out as prison labor to the fields. Same people doing the work, but the prisons get the paychecks.
They didn’t pay attention in school. They didn’t pay attention to economists. They believe in fairy tales by rich toxic princes. Let the stupid fucks learn the hard way.
I wonder if they do. I think some of them don’t care if they suffer, so long as other people suffer too. They’re so angry at the system, they want to burn it all down. It’s Redneck Fight Club.
I have tried. Then I was told that I was racist becuase I was stereotyping migrants as farm workers. Then I provided data that a majority of migrants ARE farm workers. Then I was told that I was stupid for believing data that "the government always manipulates". I'm just done, time for FAFO to start
Has anyone thought to ask Mexico what they think of millions of deportees arriving en masse? Do you really think they're just going to let thousands of busloads in? And how is the Administration going to pay for hundreds of planes to fly them back to Venezuela or Honduras?
Americans voted for low prices and government doesn't control production, supply, distribution and prices in Free Market Capitalist Nations. i.e. HERE.
It's even dumber now. Iddinnit?
Who's gonna tell them immigrants are the cornerstone to our fruit/veg production? Then again, those knucle-draggers probably don't eat a lot of fruit/veg
Yep, and can you also explain what it will do to the hospitality and construction industry? You are God, so present yourself as a burning bush and let the fools know!
The quiet part no one's said out loud yet is that they're planning to force – ahem – *certain* people to take the jobs left vacant by the cruel and racist deportations, at marginally better wages with neither benefits nor overtime pay.
And that tariffs raise prices. And that deportation will lead to food shortages as there will be no one to work in the fields. I really can't see trumpers doing the work.
They don’t care. They only want bad things to happen to the people they hate. If it costs extra, they’ll just listen to the media tell them it’s Biden’s fault.
Another point if I may be so rude. When the workers aren't available to work on farms. They aren't available to buy stuff in the stores in farming communities. Thus reducing requirements for workers in stores, gas stations, and restaurants. Reducing business income. It's cumulative. Econ 101 🤷♂️
I live in TX, and the issue with immigration that upsets those living on the border, is depression of wages.
Also in some areas, there is no paved roads, no insulation in houses, no drinking water…in Texas. It looks like a third world country. There are stash houses everywhere. Let’s do better.
No labor shortage. Just need to imprison more people and use them as unpaid labour-practitioners. Lend by the prison warden. They will take a few neighbours sure, but not "them", they voted Trump. They will be safe, surely, surely.

But unfortunately, still no. You can explain it TO them, but you can’t understand it FOR them.
I’ve lost any empathy I had for anyone who voted for the orange gourd god.
Instead they hoarded toilet paper, blinged up their MAGA hats, shit on the capital floor, and foamed at the mouth …
All to ensure they would remain in this rage state for 4 more years.
It’s all they know.
This food is expensive now? You’ll never be able to afford guacamole again.

Tariffs protect domestic business, by raising prices on imported goods.
What tariffs do not do, is lower prices.
How much you want to bet Trump's inner circle has an interest in the industries that get tariffed?
And that ‘beautiful tariffs’ do the same
Also those weren’t Americans that voted
They'll blame it on Biden. 🤬
People hear what they want to hear. They think Trump has a magic wand to make shit cheaper. It's really sad.
It's even dumber now. Iddinnit?
Maybe this time they’ll understand but if they do they’ll blame it on the people who “don’t want to work.”
Or maybe they’ll just say it’s from Biden’s old policies. Hard to say how they’ll deflect blame honestly.
Let's deport the illegal government that just got elected.
