Unions are the way - until we're one fucknormous union that can't be fucked with.

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

Thank you. That's what I thought. Self-diagnosed. Just like his so-called brilliance.

According to CNBC…
Trump was just a Jim Cramer that morning
And the massive jump in the stock market was just a “short squeeze”, powered by… who knows probably just people who loved American stocks all the sudden

He has a 6-year-old's mentality. He thinks if we sell more things to other countries for money we win. If we buy things we lose. A weak dollar makes it easier to sell things.

I've been wondering that, too. The only thing I could think of is that FDIC steps in and closes down banks that are going to fail...like maybe, banks that make risky loans to a man who fraudulently inflates the value of assets to get loans he defaults on? & fraudulently undervalues to avoid taxes?

Excellent post. My daughter's cohort includes intellectually disabled & autistic young adults. At their day program, everyone works on being kind and compassionate. A friend noted Elon is autistic, as explanation for his boorish behavior. I said, he's still an asshole. (Is he actually autistic tho?)

Both of my grandfathers died from black lung disease from a lifetime in the mines. Fuck him sideways

Wasn’t it his commerce secretary who said,- JUST YESTERDAY, that Trump’s Tariffs were going to bring millions of jobs “screwing iPhones together” back to America?

WTF is he even prattling on about? Both my grandfathers mined coal and both suffered from black lung. Only 1 of my grandfather's collective 10 sons mined coal--the rest left WV and found other work.

The little screws are for the less manly men. The manly ones will be mining. But the *most* manly of all men will be golfing with Trump and pretending not to notice when he cheats.

Umm... I don't think my great grandfather and grandfather would have chosen black lung from coal mining rather than having an easier job if it was available to them🤷♀️

My thoughts exactly. Keep ‘em dumb, overworked, & grossly underpaid. Oh, & out of site. While the elite educated live in penthouse on 5th Ave lining their own pockets.

All those factory workers in the 60s & 70s worked overtime and walked union picket lines to send their kids to college so those kids wouldn’t be stuck working in a factory.
Now Trump and his goons want to put the grandkids back in the factory.

Son of a coal miner here. Black lung is not a great way to go.
Also, more than once he was stuck in a cave in. Where we thought we might not see him again.
He wanted to run a pet store instead of being in a mine.

He probably thinks it’ll be a boost for big pickax and the canary industry

As someone who is a direct relative (granddaughter) I can 100% attest coal miners would not turn down a penthouse on 5th Avenue nor "love" to mine coal. He's the stupidest piece of shit liar that ever existed.
